The outermost layer of the epidermis acts as a barrier to topically-applied substances, hindering penetration of cosmeceutical products such that only a small percentage may actually be absorbed into the skin. Featuring Alma’s unique, patented, low-frequency, non-focused ultrasound technology, IMPACT is a trans-epidermal delivery applicator designed to maximize penetration depth and delivery efficacy of active ingredients, beyond the epidermal-dermal junction. It can be used to apply complementary cosmeceuticals following a laser or RF fractional treatment, or as a stand-alone treatment.
Clinically proven to dramatically advance the penetration of cosmetic formulations into the dermal layers, IMPACT provides a complementary solution for post-treatment skin care, with enhanced results.
What is IMPACT?
How does IMPACT work?
When used immediately following an ablative fractional treatment, IMPACT hammers in any topical products through the microchannels that have been created in the skin, overcoming the intracellular fluid, and enabling cosmeceuticals to penetrate deep into the dermis. When used as a stand-alone treatment, pressure and heat from the IMPACT applicator enhance permeability of the skin, facilitating increased absorption of the cosmeceuticals in the treated area.

Beauty Backed by Science
IMPACT is just one of the innovative technologies to come out of Alma – and we don’t use the word innovation lightly. We have invested well over two decades of work, research, and development, accumulating knowledge and clinical expertise that enables us to develop an unequivocal range of patents, products, approved treatment protocols and clinical evidence. And while others may say that too, we have the numbers to back it up.

Frequently asked questions
-
Winter Reset integrates ablative CO₂ resurfacing with non-ablative 1570 nm thermal stimulation in one protocol. This combination supports both surface-level renewal and deeper tissue response within a structured treatment approach.
-
Winter Reset is intended for patients who are clinically suitable for deeper resurfacing and are prepared for the associated downtime and recovery process. Final candidacy should always be determined through physician evaluation.
-
Because Winter Reset involves deeper resurfacing and expected recovery time, many clinics prefer scheduling it during periods of reduced sun exposure and social activity. Treatment timing should always be based on clinical judgment and patient circumstances.
-
Downtime reflects the depth of treatment and the biological response involved. Recovery timelines vary based on indication, treatment parameters, and individual healing capacity.
-
Winter Reset is a resurfacing protocol performed on the Alma Hybrid platform. It combines higher-parameter CO₂ with 1570 nm thermal stimulation to support deeper resurfacing and structural remodeling within a defined treatment framework.
