FDA approved laser forStretch Mark Reduction

• A topical stretch mark reduction cream consisting of lightening ingredients and retin-a is required for all clients to be applied once a day for two weeks prior to the first treatment.
• We recommend wearing comfortable, loose fitting clothes to your appointment to avoid irritation to the area after laser treatment.
• Avoid unprotected sun exposure, treatment can not be performed on sunburned skin.

1 – 7 days post:

• Skin will be tender to the touch, red, and swollen.
• Skin will get dry and feel itchy

7 – 10 days post:

• An exaggerated “tan” will appear and persist throughout the treatment course and for up to 6 months.

• Up to an hour post treatment apply cold packs to the area on and off to reduce heat and swelling.
• Avoid sun exposure and excess heat in the area.
• 2 – 7 days post apply topical ointment such as neo or polysporin one to two times a day..
• Post one week, resume daily application of SMR cream.

Darker skin tones, just like in the sun, will attract and absorb the light and heat from the laser more readily, exposing them to a higher risk for laser burn or prolonged irritation post treatment.

However, with the proper laser and energy setting dark and black skin tones can successfully get laser hair removal.

• There is a risk of scarring and burning.
• Short term effects may include: reddening, mild burning, temporary bruising or blistering. Hyper-pigmentation (browning) and hypopigmentation (lightening) have also been noted after treatment.
• These conditions usually resolve within 3-6 months, but permanent color change is a rare risk. Avoiding sun exposure before and after the treatment reduces the risk of color change.
• Allergic Reactions: in rare cases, a delayed persistent urticarial rash notable for pale red, raised, itchy bumps may occur; an oral steroid may be prescribed to mitigate this effect.
• Exposure of our eyes to laser light could harm your vision. You must keep the eye protection goggles on at all times during treatment.
• Compliance with the aftercare guidelines is crucial for healing, prevention of scarring, and hyper-pigmentation.

Most people liken the sensation to a warm rubber band snap. Although uncomfortable, it is tolerable.

The good news is that extra comfort is provided through a simmer machine that forcefully blows cold air simultaneously at the treatment area.

It’s also not a bad idea to take 400mg of Ibuprofen 45 minutes prior.

LASER can only effectively treat hair in the active growth stage, when the hair is still attached to the follicle.

Only about 10 to 20 percent of the hair on your body is in the active growth stage at any given time so most people need around six to nine treatments, spaced four to eight weeks apart, depending on the area being treated.

Our IPL and LASER technology is much more powerful and effective than at home options.

Most at home devices can temporarily reduce the hair but it does not permanently get rid of it.

It is difficult to completely remove stretch mark scars, as they are caused by damage to the deeper layers of the skin. However, there are several treatments that can help reduce their appearance and make them less noticeable.

Some of the most common stretch mark scar reduction treatments include:

Topical creams and lotions: These can help to moisturize the skin and promote collagen growth, which can help to improve the appearance of stretch marks.

Laser therapy: This can help to stimulate collagen production and improve the texture and tone of the skin.

Dermal fillers: These can be used to plump up the skin and smooth out the appearance of stretch marks.

Micro-needling: This treatment involves creating small punctures in the skin to stimulate collagen production, which can help to improve the appearance of stretch marks.

Chemical peels: These can be used to remove the top layers of the skin and improve the texture and tone of the skin.

Scar revision treatment can be used to improve the appearance of stretch marks, but it may not completely remove them. Stretch marks, also known as striae, occur when the skin is stretched rapidly, such as during pregnancy, weight gain, or muscle building. The skin is stretched beyond its normal capacity, causing small tears in the dermis, the middle layer of the skin. As the skin heals, these tears become visible as stretch marks.

Scar revision treatments such as laser therapy, dermal fillers, and microneedling can help to stimulate collagen production and improve the texture and tone of the skin, which can help to reduce the appearance of stretch marks. These treatments can also improve the coloration and smoothness of the skin. But it’s not possible to completely remove them.

It is important to note that everyone’s skin is different and some people may have more success with certain treatments than others. It is recommended to consult with a professional to know more about the best option for you and to understand the realistic results of the treatment.

It can be more challenging to remove very old stretch marks, as they tend to be more entrenched and may have lost some of their elasticity. However, that does not mean that it’s impossible. Treatments such as laser therapy, microneedling, and chemical peels can still be effective in improving the appearance of very old stretch marks.

Laser therapy can help to stimulate collagen production, improve the texture and tone of the skin, and reduce the coloration of the stretch marks. Microneedling can also be effective by creating small punctures in the skin to stimulate collagen production and improve the appearance of the stretch marks. Chemical peels can be used to remove the top layers of the skin, which can improve the texture and tone of the skin.

It is important to note that the results of treatment will depend on the individual case, their skin type, and the severity of the stretch marks.

Keep in mind that, even with the best treatments, it is unlikely to achieve perfect, invisible results on very old stretch marks, but a significant improvement can be achieved.

Laser therapy can be effective in reducing the appearance of stretch marks and improving the texture and tone of the skin. However, it is unlikely to completely remove stretch marks permanently. Stretch marks are caused by tears in the dermis, the middle layer of the skin, and they can be difficult to fully eliminate.

Different types of laser can be used to treat stretch marks, such as fractional CO2 laser, Fractional Erbium laser, and Pulsed Dye laser. These lasers work by stimulating collagen production and remodeling the damaged tissue, which can help to reduce the visibility of the stretch marks.

In some cases, even with the best laser treatments, it may be difficult to achieve complete removal of stretch marks, but the treatments can help to significantly improve their appearance.
