ClearLift
Often described as a pain-free, non-surgical face lift, the Alma ClearLift Laser procedure is unique in that it combines two forms of light therapy, the non-ablative Yag with the Pixel Q Switch, to create tiny micro-injuries to the dermis, the second layer of skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the production of collagen, which helps lift, tighten, and brighten the skin while improving the look of wrinkles, creases, fine lines, pore size, and more. And because this non-ablative laser does not impact the epidermis, or outer layer of skin, so there is no visible surface damage and virtually no downtime following the treatment.
Additionally, the ClearLift Laser is so gentle, it can be used on sensitive skin as well as all skin colors and is an excellent choice for areas of the face and neck that could be vulnerable to burns and irritations.

- Appointments generally last between 15-60 minutes.
- Minimal discomfort during and after the procedure.
- Results can be seen in the first 24- 48 hours and 3-5 sessions over 3-5 months are recommended to achieve maximum results, along with annual maintenance sessions.
Before Your Appointment
- The ClearLift laser face lift is not an option for people who have undergone Accutane (isotretinoin) treatment within the last 12 months.
- Avoid using exfoliants like retinol, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, topical acne treatments, and hydroquinone for one week before treatment.
After Your Appointment
- The skin may appear to be flushed right after your treatment, a normal reaction to the ClearLift treatment.
- Although very rare, some patients may also develop flushing a couple of days after treatment, while others develop small, white pustules the day after treatment that can take 3-10 days to disappear.
- Avoid chemical peels and other exfoliants for 1-2 weeks after treatment.
- Resume normal activities as your comfort level allows.
