SoftLift – Non-Ablative 1570 nm Laser Skin Rejuvenation
SoftLift is a non-ablative laser treatment performed using the 1570 nm wavelength available on the Alma Hybrid platform. It is designed to stimulate collagen remodelling within the deeper layers of the skin while leaving the skin surface intact, making it a suitable option for individuals seeking skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime.
Unlike ablative laser treatments that target the skin surface, SoftLift delivers controlled thermal energy into the dermis to support the skin's natural regenerative processes. This approach helps improve skin quality, texture and the appearance of early signs of ageing over time.

How SoftLift Works
The 1570 nm laser delivers controlled heat into the mid-to-deep dermis without disrupting the epidermis. This process stimulates the skin's natural healing response and supports collagen remodelling beneath the surface.
The treatment is designed to support:
-
Collagen production
-
Elastin remodelling
-
Improved dermal density
-
Enhanced skin quality
-
Improvement in the appearance of mild skin laxity
Because the outer layer of the skin remains intact, recovery is generally shorter than with ablative laser resurfacing treatments.
Consultation and Assessment
All treatments begin with a comprehensive medical and skin assessment to determine suitability.
During your consultation, our medical team will assess:
-
Skin quality and thickness
-
Degree of collagen loss and laxity
-
Ageing patterns and skin resilience
-
Sun exposure history and lifestyle factors
-
Relevant medical history
-
Treatment goals and downtime preferences
A personalised treatment plan will then be developed based on your individual skin condition and treatment objectives.
What to Expect During Treatment
SoftLift treatments are generally well tolerated. A topical anaesthetic is not usually required but may be recommended in certain circumstances.
During the procedure, the laser is passed across the treatment area in a controlled pattern. Patients commonly describe a sensation of warmth throughout the treatment.
Treatment times vary depending on the area being treated, with most sessions taking approximately 30–45 minutes.
Recovery and Downtime
As a non-ablative treatment, SoftLift typically involves minimal downtime.
Temporary effects may include:
-
Mild redness
-
Warmth in the treated area
-
Temporary skin sensitivity
-
A feeling of tightness
Most patients are able to resume normal daily activities shortly after treatment.
Results
Results develop gradually as collagen remodelling occurs over the weeks and months following treatment.
Patients may notice improvements in:
-
Skin texture
-
Overall skin quality
-
Skin density
-
The appearance of fine lines
-
The appearance of mild skin laxity
Individual responses vary, and outcomes depend on factors including age, skin condition and treatment plan.
A series of treatments may be recommended depending on your skin concerns and treatment goals.
Safety and Suitability
SoftLift is a medical procedure and carries risks. Potential adverse effects may include:
-
Prolonged redness
-
Pigmentary changes
-
Infection
-
Delayed healing
-
Reactivation of herpes simplex in susceptible individuals
-
Scarring (rare)
Some patients may require additional assessment or may not be suitable for treatment, including those with:
-
Active skin infections
-
Certain pigmentary disorders
-
Recent isotretinoin use

Suitability for treatment can only be determined following consultation and assessment by a qualified healthcare practitioner.
