Our Procedure
At Crystal Care Clinic, we treat Stretch Marks through our progressive laser technology which ablates the skin along these streaks or strips and resurfaces the scar tissue and reduces their appearance simultaneously improving the texture and tone of the skin. This procedure allows the skin to heal evenly and the heat from the laser energy stimulates the formation of new collagen.
It’s a quick and simple procedure that is easy to recover from and makes the skin smoother and more attractive. In just a few fast, easy treatment sessions, stretch marks are much less visible leaving behind smoother skin.
Who can have this treatment?
People who suffer from stretch marks after pregnancy or weight gain/loss can have this treatment. However, during your consultation, our practitioner will assess your expectations and medical background, to make sure you’re a suitable candidate.
How many treatments do I need?
The number of sessions vary from patient to patient, but most people need 4 to 6 treatment sessions for desired results.
