Scar & Stretch Mark Reduction

The goal of Laser Scar & Stretch Mark Reduction is to lessen the visibility of scars, stretch marks, and other defects in the skin that may result from surgeries, injuries or pregnancy. With this technique, the texture of the skin is much improved, appearing smoother, more even and younger.

Stretch marks and scars can develop for a variety of reasons and are a prevalent issue for a large number of people. The main reasons are:

  • Injuries and Surgery: after cuts, burns, serious wounds or surgical procedures, skin may leave behind scars.
  • Pregnancy: Stretch marks can appear on the stomach, thighs and breasts, where the skin may stretch more than usual at this time.
  • Quick Weight Changes: Excessive weight gain or reduction can change the skin, leaving stretch scars on it.
  • Genetic Predisposition: Some people are more likely than others to get stretch marks or scars due to their genes.

How does Laser Scar & Stretch Mark Reduction work?

laser

Depending on the size and type of skin, the laser scar and stretch mark  elimination function typically takes 30-60 minutes. Our specialist uses a laser to apply light pulses to the skin’s afflicted areas during the procedure. These pulses reach the skin’s deepest layers, promoting the synthesis of fresh collagen and reducing the texture of the skin. Along with smoothing and evening the skin, the procedure also helps to enhance general skin tone and minimize redness or pigmentation in places where scars or stretch marks are visible. As a result the skin looks younger and healthier. During the procedure you may be some tingling or warmth in the treated area , most patients report no pain at all.

Contraindications for the Procedure
Pregnancy and Lactation

Active Infections or Inflammation

Recent Tan

If you have recently been tanned, laser correction is not advised.

Skin Cancer

The technique is not appropriate if skin cancer is present.

Dermatological Conditions

Psoriasis and eczema are examples of active dermatological conditions that should be addressed prior to procedure.

Circulatory System Disorders

The procedure may not be appropriate for certain severe disorders of the circulatory system.

Use of Photosensitizing Medications

If you are taking medications that increase sensitivity to light, such as certain antibiotics or acne treatments, the procedure should be avoided as it may increase the risk of adverse effects.

Keloid or Hypertrophic Scarring

Individuals with a history of keloid or hypertrophic scar formation should consult with a healthcare provider before the procedure, as laser treatments could potentially worsen these conditions.

Autoimmune Diseases

Certain autoimmune diseases, especially those that affect the skin or healing processes, may contraindicate the procedure, requiring careful evaluation by a healthcare provider.

Blood-Clotting Disorders

People with blood-clotting disorders or those on anticoagulants should avoid the procedure due to an increased risk of bruising, bleeding, or other complications.

Epilepsy

The procedure may not be suitable for individuals with epilepsy, particularly those sensitive to light, as the flashes of light from the laser could potentially trigger a seizure.

Recent Use of Aggressive Skin Treatments

If you have recently undergone chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or other intense skin treatments, it is recommended to wait until the skin has fully healed before considering laser scar and stretch mark reduction.

Uncontrolled Diabetes

Individuals with uncontrolled diabetes should proceed with caution, as they may experience slower healing and a higher risk of complications.

Age Restriction

Scar & Stretch Mark Reduction is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older. Minors are not eligible for the procedure, as hormonal changes during adolescence can affect hair growth and reduce the effectiveness of the treatment.
