Stretch marks and scars are unwanted reminders of things we'd rather just forget - an accident, surgery, weight fluctuation, or aging. Most of the topical creams and ointments on the market today cannot completely eradicate these marks and scars. Treatment must repair damage beneath the surface of the skin. Fortunately, the cosmetic dermatologists at Face and Body Medical Aesthetics offer non-surgical solutions for stretch marks and scars. Through laser therapy, our physicians can remedy the marks' color and texture to blend in with the rest of the body. Contact Face and Body if you'd like more information about stretch mark removal or scar revision; we have locations serving Tulsa, Lakeway, and Round Rock.

Scar Revision with the CO2 Fractional Laser
One of the most effective strategies to reduce the prominence of stretch marks is to remove thin layers of scarred skin with a laser. The light from the laser interacts with the molecular bonds in the tissue, causing the tissue to disintegrate. This scarred tissue is replaced with new, healthy-looking skin tissue. The entire process is minimally invasive, rarely painful, and extremely effective. The technology we use carries minimal risk of damage to surrounding skin, burning, or irritation. Patients typically recover quickly and comfortably. If you'd like more information about laser therapy to remove stretch marks, please contact Face and Body Medical Aesthetics.
Scars can vary considerably in color, shape, size, and texture. Appropriate revision of the scar must correct the color, and also the texture of the area. It's usually recommended that scars "mature" or heal for at least six months before treatment starts. Practices on the cutting edge of technology, such as Face and Body, trust in laser therapy for safe and effective treatment. The medical professionals at our Tulsa location use the CO2 Fractional laser for scar revision. This laser ablates the surface of the scar, prompting the re-growth of collagen and skin cells within days. Although a scar may not completely disappear after treatment, laser treatment will make it dramatically less noticeable.
If you are interested in stretch mark removal or scar revision in the Tulsa area, contact a Face and Body cosmetic surgeon or dermatologist. We would be happy to set up a consultation to discuss the details of laser therapy.
