TREATMENTS FOR THE REDUCTION OF SCARS AND STRETCH-MARKS
If you are suffering from scars or stretchmarks then Beautology's range of treatments could be just what you need!
What are scars or stretchmarks?
The term "scarring" refers to a process where collagen within the skin is damaged from inflammation, leading to permanent texture changes in the skin.
Types of scarring and stretch marks
There are different kinds of scarring, the two main types we see at the clinic are traumatic scarring and acne scarring.
Traumatic scars are caused by an injury to the skin.
Acne scars are caused by the inflammation from the acne lesions and have different forms including: ice pick scarring, atrophic scarring, and hypertrophic scarring. Colour changes in skin from acne are more common than scarring. Treating acne early, before scarring occurs is recommended.
Stretch marks are caused by the persistent over-stretching of the skin.
Scarring and Stretch-mark Treatment
Scar and stretch-mark treatment is very successful and has a faster effect with newer scars.
Beautology has a wide range of treatments available for scars & stretch-marks including:
Derma Rollers are devices which are rolled over the skin creating thousands of minute indentations which kick-starts the body’s natural healing process stimulating collagen and elastin production and leaving a smoother and younger appearance (Read more).
As part of keeping healthy the skin is constantly shedding, however when certain chemicals are used to peel the skin off at a faster rate than normal, new skin replaces the old. This new skin is smoother, less wrinkled and clearer with fewer blemishes than the older skin that was removed (Read more).
Laser and Intense Pulsed Light
Lasers and IPL are intense beams of light that can transfer its energy through the skin to a specific part of the body or face. The strength and the frequency of the light used differs depending on the type of tissue it must target which enables laser and IPL to achieve results that are simply not possible with other technologies (Read more).
Microdermabrasion is a crystal or diamond tipped mechanical exfoliation which gently resurfaces the outer layers of the skin removing damaged cells and stimulating the skin's natural cell regenerating process. This then promotes the development of healthy cells, collagen and elastin leaving healthy, natural, smooth and youthful skin (Read more).
