HydroLife
Minimally-Invasive Laser Treatment of Axillary Hyperhidrosis
HydroLife™ by Alma Surgical offers a revolutionary, laser-based treatment option that is non-invasive, safe and effective. Using a 1470nm wavelength and Alma’s new high density Anchor™ fiber, HydroLife safely and effectively ablates the eccrine sweat glands, yielding a dramatic reduction in symptoms of axillary hyperhidrosis. The procedure can be performed in outpatient clinics quickly and effectively, with no patient downtime and with immediate, lasting results.
Benefits
- Minimally invasive
- Bended anchor fiber technology
- Short treatment time
- No downtime
- Single treatment procedure

Technology:
1470nm- the sweat absorbing wavelength
Eccrine sweat is composed primarily of water, sodium, urea and ammonia. The 1470nm wavelength specifically targets water in soft tissue, making it ideal for selectively treating the eccrine sweat glands.
The anchortm fibertm
The bended Anchor fiber was developed as a second generation version of the Sidefire fiber, allowing for precise vaporization of tissue by emitting laser energy at an angle. The fiber is flat and polished which yields a higher power density than other specialized fibers.
During treatment with HydroLife, the Anchor fiber delivers energy to the target area in an incremental and highly controlled manner, thermally ablating the eccrine glands while leaving the surrounding tissue unaffected.
The iPixel Er:YAG module provides highly effective fractional ablative laser skin resurfacing treatment using an Erbium YAG laser at a 2940nm wavelength. iPixel significantly improves overall skin tone, elasticity and texture, increases moisture content, and reduces superficial pigmentation and pore size.
Alma Lasers has developed the first fractional non-ablative Q-Switched laser, allowing practitioners to use the powerful benefits of a high intensity Q-Switched laser for the treatment of skin imperfections associated with aging skin, pigmented lesions and multi-colored tattoos.
