Erbium vs. Alma Hybrid CO₂ vs. Alma PixelPeel — Which Laser Is Right for You?


ree

When it comes to laser resurfacing, not all treatments are created equal. At Aesthetic Club San Diego, we offer the latest laser technologies designed to target everything from fine lines to acne scars — with customized results and recovery times for every skin type.

Here’s a simple breakdown of three of the most effective resurfacing options available today: Erbium Fractional, Alma PixelPeel CO₂, and Alma Hybrid CO₂.


✨ Erbium Fractional (Er:YAG)

The Erbium fractional laser is perfect for patients looking for a gentle skin refresh with minimal downtime.

It lightly resurfaces the skin’s outer layer, improving fine lines, tone, and texture while stimulating collagen production. Healing is quick — just a few days of mild redness — making it ideal for anyone wanting to maintain healthy, glowing skin.

Best for:

  • Fine lines and early texture changes

  • Mild pigmentation or dullness

  • Quick recovery and subtle rejuvenation


🔥 Alma PixelPeel CO₂

The Alma PixelPeel CO₂ offers a step up in power and results.This fractional CO₂ laser creates precise micro-channels in the skin to stimulate deep collagen remodeling and renewal. It smooths texture, lines, acne scars, and uneven tone while maintaining shorter downtime compared to traditional CO₂ treatments.

Best for:

  • Texture and tone improvement

  • Acne scars and sun damage

  • Noticeable rejuvenation with moderate downtime


💎 Alma Hybrid CO₂

The Alma Hybrid CO₂ is a next-generation resurfacing treatment — and one of the most versatile options available at Aesthetic Club San Diego.


It combines ablative CO₂ and non-ablative 1570 nm wavelengths in one pass, allowing treatment of both surface and deeper skin layers simultaneously. This customizable technology can be tailored to be superficial or deep, making it effective for all skin types and treatment goals — often with visible results after just one session.

The Hybrid is also safe for delicate areas like the under-eyes and eyelids, and remarkably effective for acne scars, enlarged pores, and hyperpigmentation. It tightens, smooths, and refines the skin with balanced recovery and long-lasting results.


Best for:

  • Under-eyes and eyelids

  • Acne scars, pores, and pigmentation

  • Full-face rejuvenation

  • Customizable depth and dramatic single-session results

  • Neck lines

  • 🧖‍♀️ Erbium Fractional → best for a gentle glow-up and light resurfacing

  • 🌟 PixelPeel CO₂ → best for smoothing texture, scars, and early aging

  • 💫 Alma Hybrid CO₂ → best for all skin types, under-eyes, acne scars, pores, and pigment — customizable and powerful in one treatment
