Stretch Marks

Treatments for Stretch Marks

• Laser Rejuvenation
• Dermalroller
• TCA Peels
 

Combination of Treatments can achieve best results. Recommended between 3-6 Treatments at 6-8 week intervals.
 

Stretch Marks can appear anywhere on the body where the skin has been stretched, and they often occur as a result of weight gain.  They are most likely to appear in places where fat is stored, including the abdomen, breasts, upper arms, thighs and buttocks. They pose absolutely no health risk and don't compromise your body's ability to function healthily.  We have three layers of skin: the epidermis (outer layer), the dermis (middle layer), and the subcutaneous stratum (innermost layer).
 

Stretch marks occur in the dermis, the resilient middle layer that helps the skin retain its shape. When the dermis is constantly stretched over time, the skin becomes less elastic and the small connective fibers within it break. The result is what we know as stretch marks. This damage is well beneath the top layers of skin and no creams will ever be able to repair the damage.
 

Pregnant women aren't alone in being susceptible. Adolescents experiencing growth spurts and athletes - especially bodybuilders who practice strenuous and repetitive exercise - are likely to get stretch marks, as is anyone who gains or loses a significant amount of weight in a short period of time. Use of products containing harsh ingredients, such as lightening creams will damage the skin and result in stretch marks.

Testimonials

Although I have always been conscious of protecting my face and used sunscreens throughout the year, I had neglected my hands. Being a keen gardener my hands have been exposed to the sun and the environment and over the last couple of years I can see the result. I have had brown / liver spots develop and was very self conscious about them, I felt I had hands of a woman 20 years older than me. Over a cuppa with a friend I mentioned how much I disliked how aged my hands were looking and she suggested a visit to The Laser and Skin Clinic. The staff were so nice and explained how the laser treatment would work and also how I could help protect my hands in the future which I found very interesting. I had 3 treatments in total and am extremely happy with the results. I can't believe how easy it was.
