The Technology
Alma PrimeX
Alma PrimeX is a multi-technology platform that brings several distinct modes together in one device. Three of them matter here: microplasma for resurfacing, UltraWave ultrasound for body contouring, and UniBody radiofrequency for skin tightening.
At SkinRev Lab, PrimeX technologies power two treatments: SKINTIGHT and SKINUSHAPE. This page explains each mode; booking and pricing are on the treatment pages.
The three modes
Mode 1 · Resurfacing
Microplasma
Alma’s microplasma is a radiofrequency-based technology. High-frequency energy at 40.68 MHz is released through pins that discharge close to the skin, creating plasma that forms microablative channels alongside a thermal effect. The result is skin resurfacing, scar revision and the fading of stretch marks — with less downtime than fully ablative lasers. This is the mode behind SKINTIGHT.

UltraWave (Ultrasound)
UltraWave uses guided ultrasound waves that selectively act on adipose tissue, reducing fat and circumference in larger areas such as the abdomen, waist and thighs. A cone-shaped focus concentrates the ultrasound for efficiency, and pulsed delivery is used for cellulite. This is the basis of SKINUSHAPE.

UniBody (Unipolar RF)
UniBody combines unipolar radiofrequency with a rotating massage head, delivering deep dermal heating at several depths to remodel collagen. Alma’s 40.68 MHz frequency is designed for deep, homogenous heating, and the massage head supports circulation and helps improve the appearance of cellulite. It complements body contouring by firming the skin over a treated area.

How the modes differ
| Microplasma | UltraWave | UniBody | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Energy | RF-based microplasma (40.68 MHz) | Guided ultrasound | Unipolar radiofrequency |
| Layer | Skin surface and dermis | Adipose (fat) layer | Dermis, multiple depths |
| Purpose | Resurfacing, scars, stretch marks | Fat reduction, circumference | Skin tightening, cellulite |
| SkinRev treatment | SKINTIGHT | SKINUSHAPE | Complements contouring |
Technology descriptions are drawn from the manufacturer’s published material. Individual results vary, and no non-invasive treatment is a substitute for a healthy diet and physical activity.

What is Alma PrimeX?
Alma PrimeX is a multi-technology aesthetic platform that combines several modes in one device: microplasma for skin resurfacing, guided ultrasound (UltraWave) for body contouring, and unipolar radiofrequency (UniBody) for skin tightening. At SkinRev Lab, PrimeX technologies power the SKINTIGHT and SKINUSHAPE treatments.
What is Alma microplasma, and is it RF?
Alma's microplasma is a radiofrequency-based technology. High-frequency energy at 40.68 MHz is released through pins that discharge in close proximity to the skin, creating plasma that produces microablative channels together with a thermal effect. It is used for skin resurfacing, scar revision and fading stretch marks, with less downtime than fully ablative lasers. At SkinRev Lab, microplasma is used in the SKINTIGHT treatment.
What is UltraWave on Alma PrimeX?
UltraWave is Alma PrimeX's ultrasound body contouring mode. Guided ultrasound waves selectively act on adipose tissue to reduce fat and circumference in larger areas such as the abdomen, waist and thighs. At SkinRev Lab this is the basis of the SKINUSHAPE treatment.
What is UniBody on Alma PrimeX?
UniBody is Alma PrimeX's skin tightening mode. It combines unipolar radiofrequency with a rotating massage head to deliver deep dermal heating at multiple depths, remodelling collagen and improving skin laxity and the appearance of cellulite. Alma's 40.68 MHz frequency is designed for deep, homogenous heating.
