Alma Hybrid Advanced Training: Periorbital, Perioral and Neck

Alma Hybrid Advanced Training is a clinical program for doctors from Australia and New Zealand who use the Alma Hybrid laser in their practice. It is taught by Dr. Maria Luisa Pozzuoli, a maxillofacial and aesthetic plastic surgeon from Turin, Italy, through live cases on the periorbital, perioral and neck regions. The first edition runs in Milan from 17 to 19 November 2026.

Not just another conference: the program is built so you come home with a technique you can use in your own clinic. Alma Lasers Australia organises it as part of its clinical education for the doctors it supplies and supports.

Who teaches the program?

Faculty

Dr. Maria Luisa Pozzuoli

Maxillofacial and aesthetic plastic surgeon, Turin, Italy

AICPEEAFPSSICMF

Dr. Maria Luisa Pozzuoli is a maxillofacial surgeon and aesthetic plastic surgeon who practises at MLP Medical SPA in Turin and Casa di Cura Fornaca, with consulting practice in Milan, Rome and Brescia. She graduated with honours in Medicine and Surgery from the University of Naples in 1996, specialised in maxillofacial surgery and holds a Master’s in Aesthetic Surgery from the University of Milan.

Her surgical work covers blepharoplasty, brow lift, facelift, rhinoplasty and canthopexy, and her aesthetic practice is built around non-surgical facial rejuvenation with the Alma Hybrid. That mix is the point: she explains not only what she does with the laser, but where a laser is the right choice and where a patient needs surgery. She is a member of AICPE (Italian Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery), EAFPS (European Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery) and SICMF (Italian Society of Maxillofacial Surgery).

The peer exchange day is hosted by Dr. Robert Rosen, with visiting clinicians presenting their own cases and protocols.

What does Alma Hybrid Advanced Training cover?

The program focuses on three regions where technique makes the biggest difference with the Alma Hybrid:

1

Periorbital

Upper and lower lid, crow’s feet and brow.

2

Perioral

Vertical lip lines, vermilion border, nasolabial folds and marionette lines.

3

Neck

Submental laxity, platysmal bands and décolletage.

Across all three regions you see skin preparation, region-specific settings, post-care and how to talk to the patient about expectations and follow-up.

What is the Alma Hybrid?

The Alma Hybrid is a laser platform that combines an ablative CO2 laser (10,600 nm) with a non-ablative 1570 nm laser. It can fire both wavelengths side by side, with a fully adjustable ratio, or one after the other, so one device covers resurfacing, texture and laxity work. It is supplied, installed and supported in Australia and New Zealand by Alma Lasers Australia.

Who is Alma Hybrid Advanced Training for?

The program is for doctors from Australia and New Zealand who treat facial ageing and want a structured way to add, or refine, laser treatment of the eyes, mouth and neck. It is open to doctors whose practice already owns an Alma Hybrid. The group is kept small so every attendee can ask questions during the live cases.

Where is it held?

Registration, the welcome evening and the peer exchange day are at AlmaCare Milano, Via della Moscova 58, 20121 Milan, Italy, in the Moscova district a short walk from Brera. The live clinical day takes place in Dr. Pozzuoli’s clinic nearby.

How do I take part?

Alma Hybrid Advanced Training: frequently asked questions

Is this a conference or a course?

It is a course. Instead of a program of talks, you watch an experienced surgeon treat real patients and explain each setting and decision as she goes, then discuss cases with peers on the final day.

Do I need to own an Alma Hybrid to attend?

Yes. The program is for doctors whose practice already owns an Alma Hybrid, so the settings and techniques can be applied in their own clinic straight away.

Why does the 1570 nm wavelength matter?

The 1570 nm laser is non-ablative, so it heats tissue without removing the skin surface. Combined with CO2 it lets the operator balance resurfacing and deeper remodelling in one session. The program covers how Dr. Pozzuoli uses it for each region.

Does laser treatment replace eyelid surgery?

Not for every patient. Some patients are good candidates for a non-surgical approach and others need blepharoplasty. Candidate selection, and how to explain the difference to patients, is a core session of the program. Results vary from patient to patient.
