Alma ClearLift
A non-ablative, Q-switched laser for fine lines, pigmentation and skin rejuvenation, with no or minimal downtime.
What is Alma ClearLift?
Alma ClearLift is a non-ablative, Q-switched laser that can be operated at two wavelengths: 1064 nm (Nd:YAG) and 532 nm (KTP). The 1064 nm laser is designed to stimulate dermal collagen, improving skin firmness and texture, while also targeting deeper pigmentation. The 532 nm KTP wavelength is primarily used to target superficial pigmentation.

What is involved in Alma ClearLift treatment?
Treatment begins with a gentle cleanse of the skin to prepare the treatment area. The face is then divided into a grid of treatment sections, with the ClearLift handpiece systematically passed over each section one by one, delivering 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser energy into the deeper skin layers. The treatment feels like a warm or hot-stone massage, with the endpoint being mild, temporary erythema. This redness typically settles within a couple of hours, with minimal disruption to the skin surface.
The 532 nm KTP wavelength is used for targeted treatment of superficial pigmentation. The treatment endpoint may be frosting or darkening of the pigmented lesion, followed by the formation of a small scab that naturally sheds over the following days.
How can Alma ClearLift improve your skin concerns?
The 1064 nm laser beam penetrates deeper into the dermis, where controlled thermal energy stimulates collagen remodelling and can target deeper pigmentation, improving skin firmness, texture and tone. The 532 nm KTP wavelength is absorbed more superficially and is used to target superficial pigmentation, helping reduce the appearance of sun spots and other pigmented lesions.
How to prepare for Alma ClearLift treatment
ClearLift requires minimal preparation. To help minimise the risk of irritation and achieve the best possible outcome:
- 01
Protect from the sun
Avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning before your treatment. Use a broad-spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen daily.

Pause active skincare
Avoid irritating active skincare products such as retinoids, strong exfoliating acids or other potentially irritating treatments for the period recommended by your clinician.
- 03
Space out other treatments
Do not have aggressive skin treatments such as deep peels, ablative laser treatments or other resurfacing procedures shortly before ClearLift unless advised by your clinician.
- 04
Arrive with clean skin
Arrive with clean skin, free from makeup, creams and other skincare products in the treatment area.
- 05
Share your history
Tell your clinician about any medications, skincare products, recent cosmetic treatments or changes in your skin during your consultation.

What can be done to complement Alma ClearLift?
Frequently asked questions.
Anything not covered here is best discussed in your consultation.
Most clients describe the treatment (1064 nm) as a comfortable warming sensation, similar to a hot-stone massage. No anaesthetic is usually required. The 532 nm spot treatment feels like a quick rubber-band snap on the skin.
ClearLift is a non-ablative treatment with minimal downtime. Mild redness or warmth may occur and typically settles within a few hours. The 532 nm spot treatment may cause frosting or immediate darkening. These spots must be protected from sun exposure until fully healed.
Some improvement may be noticed after the first treatment, with progressive improvement in skin firmness, texture and tone as collagen remodelling occurs. Superficial pigmentation treated with the 532 nm laser may darken and shed over the following days, with the treated area typically settling within approximately two weeks; additional treatment may be required depending on the pigmentation and individual response.
Yes. The 1064 nm wavelength can target deeper pigmentation, while the 532 nm KTP wavelength is used for superficial pigmented lesions.
Yes. Most people can resume normal activities immediately, making ClearLift (1064 nm) suitable for treatments with minimal interruption to your day.
