Before Stretch Mark and Scar Treatment	After Stretch Mark and Scar Treatment

Effective treatment of scars and stretch marks requires significant medical knowledge and equally significant cosmetic understanding. It requires skill in the use of leading edge technology and an awareness of the many treatment options available. These are not things you will find at every practice. But you will find them at CosMedics. You can trust Dr. Ashwani Singh to perform your stretch mark treatment or scar removal procedure.

Stretch Mark and Scar Basics

Stretch marks occur when stretched or torn elastin fibers create gaps in the lower layer of skin, gaps that are visible through the upper layer of skin. They are often the result of rapid gains in body size or hormonal changes (such as puberty or pregnancy). While we cannot prevent stretch marks, at CosMedics, it may be possible to improve their appearance.

Scars, on the other hand, are the result of injuries. After the traumatic injury, your skin responds by beginning its natural healing process. Unfortunately, once healed, the site of the injury is still visible as a scar. There are some scars that cannot be reduced or removed. But now, many can be improved.

Stretch Mark Treatments

At CosMedics, we recommend an initial, no-cost test area prior to undergoing full treatment for stretch marks, just to ensure the treatment offers results.

Our program for improving stretch marks combines several different treatment modalities.

1. The Alma Pixel® laser to smooth the surface of the skin.
2. Microdermabrasion and chemical peels to further improve skin texture.
3. At-home skin care products to improve and maintain the results of in-office treatments.
4. Prescription medication to enhance skin rejuvenation around the scar.

Scar Treatments

Surgery may be the best option for some severe scars. However, we most frequently use the Alma Pixel laser for scar removal.
