STRETCH MARKS

Just because stretch marks are normal doesn’t mean you have to live with them. When the skin has been stretched too far or too fast – such as during puberty, pregnancy or weight fluctuation – these unsightly lines appear. Finally, there is a treatment that will reveal smooth and beautiful skin. Laser stretch mark removal is fast, easy and virtually pain free

Stretch mark removal treatments with our IconTM laser are safe and comfortable. The specific handpiece delivers the energy in one smooth, gentle pulse, to protect the skin from any temperature rise. In addition, a chilled tip on the handpiece cools the skin during the treatment both protecting your skin and providing a comfortable treatment.

This fractional technology uses pulses of laser light to target and break down stretch marks, triggering new tissue production underneath the skin. This new collagen will help improve both the texture and color of the stretch marks.

Depending on the patient’s skin type, 3-5 sessions are often recommended to achieve best results. Some patients may experience slight discomfort during the laser application, but a cooling cream can be used to make the procedure more tolerable. Side effects usually include some mild redness and swelling, but they do not typically last long. Most people are able to resume their regular activities following treatment without any downtime.
