Treatments for smoothing scars and strtech marks

Resurfacing skin with fractional lasers is the best way to remove scars, stretch marks, and skin damage. Non-ablative resurfacing does not destroy but stimulates the deeper layers of the skin to rebuild without damaging the outermost layer of the epidermis. Ablative lasers damage the superficial layer of the skin, stimulating the natural healing process and requiring a longer recovery period.

Non-ablative laser does not destroy the external layers of the skin. The unique system of point heating of the skin causes "focused" action on deeper skin layers (depth of 2.5 mm), precisely where collagen stimulation should occur. The recovery period is minimal.

Ablative fractional laser, unlike non-ablative, acts both inside the skin and on its surface, effectively targeting even very visible and unsightly scars. Ablative fractional laser is significantly stronger and more invasive than non-ablative.

Alma Hybrid OScar laser enables exceptional fractional treatment by combining both technologies. The ablative CO2 laser vaporizes tissue and creates ablative microzones with coagulated edges. The non-ablative laser creates deeply coagulated microthermal zones in the dermis. This combination results in deep tissue regeneration, synthesis of new collagen, remodeling of the extracellular matrix, and scar remodeling along with superficial restoration of skin structure and color. It is the most effective method for treating all types of scars, from acne, through injuries, to surgical scars.

The area where the procedure was performed contains heated points (destroyed collagen) and unheated points. The distance between them ranges from 1 to 2 mm. Fragments of healthy tissue between the damaged points accelerate the regeneration process. This leads to stimulation of new collagen formation at the damaged sites, reducing wrinkles or scars, and tightening the skin.

Microneedling therapy with Dermapen 4.0, due to its intensive regenerative action, is an effective treatment for all types of scars, including acne scars, post-inflammatory scars, postoperative scars, burn scars, and stretch marks.

The Dermapen device is a system of pulsating needles that create vertical microchannels in the skin, ranging in depth from 0.5 mm to 2.5 mm (adjustable), triggering natural regenerative processes that lead to the remodeling of scar tissue. The treatment stimulates the repair of damaged skin. These processes cause the body to generate new skin from within, replacing the scar tissue, resulting in significant flattening and softening of raised scars.

How does Dermapen work on scars?

The essence of Dermapen's action is to harness the body's natural self-healing and tissue regeneration abilities. The procedure involves making thousands of special micropunctures. These micro-injuries trigger skin regeneration. This leads to the stimulation of fibroblasts (through the action of platelet-derived growth factors) and the production of new collagen and elastin fibers, improving the density and elasticity of the skin.

Simultaneously, during the treatment, moisturizing, nourishing, and firming products are applied. This is because the micropunctures in the skin create hundreds of microchannels, breaking the epidermal barrier and allowing active ingredients to penetrate deeper skin layers. During microneedling, this absorption increases by up to 1000 times. Delivering active substances to the epidermis and dermis provides additional stimulation of fibroblasts.

The number of recommended Dermapen treatments depends on the skin condition and the scar. In most cases, more than one treatment is necessary to achieve noticeable skin improvement. For scars, it is recommended to undergo 6-8 treatments spaced 2-4 weeks apart.

Needle mesotherapy involves the direct injection of medicinal substances or preparations designed to regenerate and revitalize the skin and improve its appearance.

The mesotherapy treatment for removing stretch marks consists in relatively dense intradermal administration of small doses of nutrients on the edges of existing lesions. It causes very effective and deep hydration and nourishment of the skin. Supplementing the deficiencies of hyaluronic acid, vitamins, trace minerals and the DMAE complex stimulates fibroblasts (skin cells) to produce new collagen fibers, which increases its tension, density and elasticity. This causes gradual healing of stretch marks.

Performing a series of needle mesotherapy treatments results not only in structural but also functional improvement of the skin. Its result is, among others-thickening of the epidermis and improvement of its function.

Mesotherapy is usually performed in cycles, which are selected depending on the patient's needs. It can be used in all places where stretch marks have appeared.

Carboxytherapy is one of the most effective therapies effective in the fight against both old and new stretch marks, which brings visible improvement to the skin, regardless of its color and shade.

Thanks to carboxytherapy, we improve the process of creating new blood vessels, which translates into a significant improvement in the skin. This process causes more effective skin pigmentation, which in turn darkens the color of stretch marks to the right skin color. Increased collagen synthesis stimulated by the stratification of CO2 thickens and tones the skin, improves its appearance and affects the alignment of the structure of changed areas.

Carboxytherapy brings good results in the treatment of scars, e.g. after cesarean section or appendectomy. Treatment can be started after about 2-3 weeks after the wound has healed.

The full treatment cycle aimed at reducing stretch marks and scars includes 10 treatments - 1 treatment for 7-10 days.

It is an intelligent biocybernetic system invented by a scientist from NASA that makes the process of biological tissue regeneration possible.

Initially, it was used only in physical medicine by famous athletes and celebrities to stimulate the process of healing the diseased or inflammatory tissue. During its use in medicine, it has been noticed that it has a very beneficial effect on the appearance of the treated areas. In addition to treating wounds, injuries, pain and inflammation, muscle toning, lifting of sagging, improvement of skin tension and other positive reactions followed. The effects of the treatments are permanent, they are subject only to natural aging processes and allow you to keep your face and body in a state of timeless youthful appearance.

Microdermabrasion is a modern treatment for people who want to improve the appearance and functioning of the skin and deal with various skin problems in a short amount of time. The treatment is a perfect method of healing scars and stretch marks. Exfoliating epidermis and increasing the amount of collagen and elastin, stimulates regeneration of damaged and cracked skin.

It is recommended for all skin types, regardless of age and the stage of epidermal damage. It clearly smooths, refreshes and regenerates the skin, improves its color and elasticity, brightens discolorations, reduces wrinkles and shrinks the pores, reduces stretch marks and scars. A single treatment allows you to achieve very good results, but to permanently improve the condition of the epidermis you need to undergo a series of treatments. The depth, number and frequency of treatments depends on the condition of the skin.

Roll-Cit is a natural, physiological method of collagen and elastin induction into the skin. It is part of the Environ system and it widely boosts the effectiveness of cosmetics through extending the penetration of vitamins available in them into active layers of the skin. It allows achieving better results in skin rejuvenation and skin conditioning as well as regeneration of skin damage.

Collagen for stretch marks is becoming an increasingly popular solution in aesthetic medicine, due to the unique properties of this natural skin builder. Its introduction through injection helps reduce various imperfections, including characteristic streaks, stripes, and lines. These issues can occur on many areas of the body, but typically appear on the thighs, arms, abdomen, hips, or buttocks.

When is the best time to use collagen for stretch marks?

Collagen for stretch marks is particularly recommended when this type of changes appear on the skin, when it is subjected to intense stretching in a short period of time. This applies to patients after sudden weight loss, bodybuilders, those taking oral steroids, as well as pregnant women. Collagen is naturally produced in the body by fibroblasts, and its mature fibers form a spatial lattice in the extracellular matrix. They allow for tissue integrity, but excessive stretching can cause tearing, leading to skin damage and the appearance of scars, or stretch marks. Initially, they appear red or purple, which fades over time, becoming silvery-beige, remaining resistant to tanning.

Collagen mesotherapy procedure

Collagen mesotherapy involves the pinpoint injection delivery of a preparation directly to selected areas of the skin with specific needs. Therapy using type I tropocollagen allows for the delivery of a substance to the skin whose structural composition is almost identical to collagen produced by the human body. This, in turn, eliminates the risk of potential complications. Procedures with type I tropocollagen should be performed at individually chosen time intervals, allowing for more optimal tissue stimulation and proper skin rebuilding in areas affected by stretch marks. In addition to pure type I tropocollagen, the injectable preparation contains many other active substances with desired properties. In the case of stretch marks, antioxidants, vitamins, and mineral compounds are particularly valued ingredients.
