Treatment for stretch marks or surgical scars
(part of the Harmony XL PRO laser platform)
Stretch marks are the fine white linear skin lesions that create problems in terms of your appearance. They occur due to the tearing of subcutaneous tissue, due to growth (with or without weight gain) or hormonal disorders. Stretch marks appear reddish at first, when they can be treated much more easily and quickly. We encourage patients to come in for treatment as soon as possible after they appear. Post-pregnancy stretch marks are eliminated to a large extent using this medical remedy.
Scars are the ideal candidate for laser treatment. This laser peel will rid you of the marks left by acne or by a surgical procedure or the scars left behind by wounds.
