Laser Scarring / Stretch Marks Removal

LASER SCARRING / STRETCHMARKS REMOVAL FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

• Does laser scarring and stretchmarks removal treatment hurt?

  Our laser is equipped with a cooling system that helps to minimise discomfort and protect the surrounding tissue. Because of this, the procedure is generally well-tolerated, but should you anticipate discomfort, topical numbing creams can help ensure you will be as comfortable as possible throughout.

• Is laser treatment suitable for everyone?

  The laser’s intensity, wavelength, and pulse duration can be adjusted to target different skin types and conditions. That said, the suitability of the procedure depends on several factors, including the type and severity of your scarring, or stretchmarks. When you visit us for your consultation before your treatment, we will be able to assess the suitability of your individual skin for laser treatment. If necessary, we can provide suggestions of alternative options.

• How soon will I see results?

  Generally, it takes between 4 to 6 weeks to see significant improvements. Patients can expect to see a gradual improvement in the appearance of the skin after each treatment session. The laser works by creating microscopic channels in the skin, which stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, resulting in smoother, firmer skin.

• How long will the results last?

  Typically, the results will last for several years, but it is important to continue a proper skincare routine, and avoid sun exposure, to maintain the results of the treatment.

• Are there any side-effects?

  The most common side effects of laser treatment include redness, swelling, and bruising at the site of your treatment. The side effects are usually mild and resolve within a few days.
