There are several types of scars (Hypertrophic, Hypotrophic and Keloids) and they all share a common theme: they are abnormal and we would like them to go or fade away.
Again, Lasers have improved so much over the years to offer us now the tools with which we can effectively treat most scars with reasonable success that was not possible few years ago.
At VeinCure, we start a series of 4-6 sessions of localized laser treatment to scars that would result in significant fading and flattening of the scar. At times, we may perform scar revision (actual minor surgery) or target the reddish or brownish discoloration with the appropriate laser.
Stretch marks or “stria” occur during periods of rapid weight gain or pregnancy, the skin stretches to accommodate increased body volume.
In some people, the skin elasticity cannot keep up with the rapid stretching so the deeper layer of the skin tears instead of stretching while the overlying skin remains intact but appears thin and streaky.
These streaks are called stretch marks. Once stretch marks occur, they are permanent. Many treatments designed in the past failed and continue to fail to treat stretch marks.
Only pulse dye laser has shown to produce real results in eliminating the discoloration of skin associated with stretch marks which make them look significantly better.
We, at VeinCure, we use this laser for this purpose through 4-6 sessions series of treatments that alternate pulse dye laser with IPL (Intense Pulse Light) and we have been very satisfies with the result we have achieved. More recently, we have been encouraged by the indirect finding by us and other centers that Velashape ELOS treatment, designed originally for Cellulite and Fat deposit reduction, is causing significant improvement in Stretch marks appearance, so we incorporated this technology in our regimen of treating stretch marks.
The following pictures are represent the realistic results that can be achieved by our laser treatment of scars and stretch marks:
