Stretch Marks & Scar Removal

Stretch marks & Scar Removal - Explained

When it comes to the removal of stretch marks and scars, The Harley Medical Group offers effective treatments that are unique to Ireland and the UK, allowing those men and women who have either to improve the appearance of their skin and to feel more confident about their bodies as a result.

Stretch marks are common amongst men and women, often appearing as a result of significant or dramatic weight loss or gain, or during pregnancy when the skin on the abdomen is stretched. These marks can be barely noticeable on some skin types, while on others they appear as raised red or white marks, or silvery slithers on the skin, causing psychological distress to the person suffering with them. For women, the most common areas for stretch marks to occur are the abdomen, breasts, arms, and thighs and can dictate what they wear day to day. For men, stretch marks are most commonly found on the abdomen, arms, and thighs, making it difficult to feel confident wearing swimwear.

Many people have scars, from old injuries, surgical procedures, skin grafting, or from having a tattoo removed, and we can help to reduce the visibility and redness of these scars using our effective scar removal treatments.

Our stretch mark removal and scar removal treatments are all available in our Dublin clinic. Please contact us to find out how we could help you to regain your confidence and feel happy in your own skin.

The benefits of stretch mark removal and scar removal treatments

The laser treatment that we use at our Dublin clinic is the only one that has been approved for cosmetic use by the FDA (Food & Drugs Administration) and offers a fast and effective way to treat both stretch marks and scars. Patients with all skin types will often see dramatically reduced visibility of the scar or stretch marks being treated after just one 30 minute treatment, and there is virtually no recovery time necessary.

How our removal treatments for scar removal and stretch marks work

before and after treatment

The laser treatment used at our Dublin clinic was pioneered in the USA and is unique to The Harley Medical Group in Ireland and the UK. It is suitable for most skin types and colours (not suitable for skin types 5 and 6). Fractional pulses of laser light are directed at the area being treated and this encourages the breakdown of scar tissue, as well as the generation of new and healthy skin tissue.

Our stretch marks laser treatment is proven to reduce the appearance of these marks on the skin following a course of treatments, restoring confidence and self-esteem to the patient. If you are suffering from stretch marks and don’t like to wear revealing clothing or swimwear as a result, book in for a free consultation at our Dublin clinic to see how our FDA-approved laser treatments could work for you.

Current clinical studies show that, of those patients treated for the removal of stretch marks or scars with this laser treatment, between 51 and 75 per cent showed a marked improvement.

Francesca de Angelis, MD, a leading plastic surgeon who has led the research effort, noted, "Through our ongoing clinical study, and with thousands of satisfied patients treated throughout Italy, we have found that this is the first treatment for stretch marks that truly works."
