Stretch marks & Scar Removal

Stretch marks

Stretch marks are a common problem faced by both men and women. They can appear post weight loss/gain and are often suffered by women post pregnancy. Some skin types are more susceptible to stretch marks than others and for some patients the marks can be quite noticeable as raised white or red lines found on the arms, stomach, thighs or breast area. They can be quite unsightly causing the patient not to be able to wear revealing clothes or swimwear.

Our new treatment, suitable for all skin types and colours, effectively treats the area using fractional laser technology permanently reducing the appearance of the stretch mark. This treatment is now available at our City of London, Harley Street, Birmingham, Manchester and Dublin clinics. 

Scars

Many of us have a scar that we would like to reduce the appearance of. Scars form as a result of an operation, the removal of a tattoo, acne, skin grafting or from an injury to the skin. All skin types and colours are suitable for treatment though raised keloid scars may not be suitable for treatment. 

These scars can be effectively treated reducing redness and their appearance.

About the treatment

This new effective treatment for Stretch Marks and Scars pioneered in the USA is unique to The Harley Medical Group in the UK. The treatment is the first and only fractional laser treatment clinically proven to improve the appearance of these stretch marks and scars. This effective laser treatment has been extensively researched and is the only treatment approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of Stretch Marks and Scars.

Ongoing clinical studies have shown that patients treated achieved an average improvement of between 51% and 75% in the appearance of their Stretch marks (Striae) or Scars.

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."
