What is the ALMI Procedure?

The Autologous Lipocyte Micronized Injection (ALMI) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that involves collecting fat from the patient’s body, processing it, and reinjecting it into areas of the face or hands where volume, tone, and texture have declined. This all-natural approach uses the body’s own tissue to restore lost volume and improve skin quality. The harvested fat is carefully purified and micronized before being injected to ensure smooth, even results.

How Does the ALMI Procedure Work?

As we age, our body slows down its production of collagen, which is the main structural protein found in skin to help give it volume. With a loss of volume, our skin can appear saggy, wrinkled, and older. The ALMI procedure uses a combination of your body’s regenerative cells and fat tissue to aging, damaged skin to revive younger-looking skin.

What can the ALMI Procedure Correct?

The ALMI procedure can improve the appearance of:

  • Wrinkles and fine lines
  • Skin texture
  • Skin tone
  • Skin elasticity
  • Sunspots

When Can I Expect Results?

Patients can begin to see results of revitalized skin instantly after their treatment.  Patients can expect to see more drastic results after several weeks from their treatment. Ultimately, results will vary from person to person.

What is the Recovery Process Like?

With ALMI, patients can expect minimal to no downtime following their procedure. Patients may be able to continue their activities as normal immediately after their AMI treatment session.

How Long is an ALMI Treatment Session?

The ALMI procedure usually takes less than an hour, making it easy to fit into your busy schedule. If you are interested in the ALMI procedure, call us today to schedule your consultation appointment and meet with our team!
