A Sort Introduction To Laser Treatment For Stretch Marks

Unlike traditional treatments like stretch mark creams and gels, lasers are used to stimulate new collagen growth and fill the stretch mark from the bottom up. Laser treatment for stretch marks has advanced in recent years, the cost and pain associated with the treatment has come down significantly.

There are two types of laser therapy available for treatment. The pulse dye laser is used for stretch mark lines that have just begun and are still red and raised. The other type of laser used in laser treatment for stretch marks is the XTRAC laser.

The stretch mark location does not make a difference, but the sooner you start with laser treatment for stretch marks, the better your results will be.

Laser Treatment for Jowls

As we age, inevitably our eyelids droop, wrinkles form, chins drop and saggy jowls develop.  The good news is that there are a wide range of painless aesthetic treatments available to help you lift these areas back to where they used to be, quickly and efficiently.  One of the treatments offered at the Melrose Aesthetic Centre, namely SkinTyte^™, will quickly tighten and firm drooping eyelids, mouths, chins and jowls. The procedure involves the use of selective thermolysis, deeply heating the dermal collagen under your skin and promoting partial denaturation and contraction of the collagen. The heat also kickstarts the body’s natural healing processes, resulting in the creation of a fresh collagen foundation and skin that is soft, smooth and tight. Contact us today to find out about how our range of skin treatments can help you eliminate saggy chins and jowls and firm up your appearance.

When I started noticing the little tell-tale signs of ageing, I decided to take immediate action.  I went to see Dr Gordon Cohen from The Melrose Aesthetic Centre who suggested a laser treatment to reduce the fine lines and “crepeing” around my eyes.  With all the horror stories about laser treatments often featured in the media, it took me a while to finally build up the courage to undergo the treatment.  I was nervous and more than a bit apprehensive, but after much contemplation decided to go ahead with the procedure.
Well, I needn’t have been the slightest bit worried…
The actual procedure was uneventful and I slept right through – I wasn’t aware of a thing.  The aftercare was very easy and I was even able to shave the next morning.  I hardly noticed the downtime – I remained indoors for two days and was back at work on the third day. 
I experienced no pain during the procedure or during the healing process – only minimal discomfort and dryness, but by keeping my skin moisturized during the day, even the slight bit of discomfort was greatly reduced. 
My face was red for about 10 days, but the final result was well worth it. 
I am delighted with the results, the fine lines around my eye area are gone and my skin texture is greatly improved.  It has been 8 months since the treatment and I’ve found that the results are even more noticeable now.  I am much more aware of using sun protection and use it daily, even while indoors.  I would highly recommend this laser treatment to anybody who wishes to regain a glowing, youthful, wrinkle-free appearance.
