ABOUT
Using our Fractional Non-ablative Laser hand-piece effectively reduces the appearance of the following concerns with a series of treatment sessions. This treatment uses the only FDA Approved & TGA Listed machine for clinic results on stretch marks and scarring, bringing optimum results to those who have the following skin concerns:
-
Stretch Marks
-
Cesarean Scar
-
Scars in general including Acne Scarring

Anyone who wants an overall skin rejuvenation
Being the first laser with FDA approval for stretch mark reduction and clinical studies, this treatment has achieved an average improvement of 51% and 75% in the appearance of stretch marks based upon blinded reviews of photographs comparing pre-treatment photographs with results three-months post-treatment. It works by diminishing the appearance of stretch marks as it penetrates into the dermis and directly stimulates the growth of new and evenly distributed collagen while re-modeling dermal scars.

HOW IT WORKS
Fractional Laser is a non ablative treatment which creates micro channels in the skin, heating the tissue in these columns, causing fibroblast and collagen production. This leads to increased skin thickness, decreased pore size, skin tightening, decreased pigmentation and all over rejuvenation.

Results become visible from 4 weeks onwards with an initial course of three to six treatments recommended for optimum results. Results vary from patient to patient.

To assist in the post treatment process, we recommend continual hydration of the skin, using prescribed cosmeceutical skin care, no sun exposure or aggressive exercise, no fake tan, no exfoliating for 2 weeks and to continue to use SPF 50+ sunscreen daily for optimal results.
