Lasers for Scars, Stretch Marks

Patients seeking to minimize the look of scars (especially from acne) or stretch marks can see an improvement in texture and pigmentation of the skin of the hands, face and other areas after laser treatments. Several treatments are recommended for maximum results, but each treatment has an effect and the overall benefit is cumulative.

Laser Treatment for Scars

There are so many options available. Any healthy adult with realistic expectations can be a candidate for scar resurfacing. Patients should discuss their expectations during the initial consultation before taking the next step.

Laser treatments can be used to address shallow scars and skin redness, all of which work to stimulate the body to produce more collagen and new skin cells, smoothing the skin and improving tone and texture. Collagen is the structural protein responsible for keeping the skin smooth, supple and firm. Many treatments encourage the body to produce more of this protein, leading to scar improvement. Skin treatments can also address redness from new scars, leading to a better overall appearance.

Laser Treatment for Stretch Marks

Stretch marks don’t have to rule your life forever, thanks to the great results of skin treatments we offer. Laser treatments have come a long way, and today there are many minimally invasive procedures available that can improve the appearance of stretch marks and rejuvenate the skin for better aesthetics.

Multiple sessions are recommended to achieve a significant improvement in the appearance of stretch marks. Sun avoidance is necessary after the treatment to avoid pigment changes in the area. Recovery is quick after treatment, with no downtime.
