If stretch marks make you self-conscious about wearing your favourite clothes, talk to our aesthetic beauty specialists at Sci-U about stretch mark removal in London.
Many women come to us about pregnancy stretch marks, but these unsightly marks can affect both women and men at various stages of life.
Luckily, our non-invasive laser and carbon dioxide treatment options will significantly improve the appearance of stretch marks with minimal downtime.
The highly qualified practitioners at the London Sci-U rejuvenation and aesthetics clinic will assess your skin and recommend the best procedure to treat your stretch marks and boost your body confidence.
What are stretch marks?
Stretch marks occur when the skin is overstretched, causing the collagen fibres to split.
At first, the marks are red, but they fade with time, and old stretch marks are often a silvery colour with a raised skin texture.
Common areas of the body for stretch marks to appear
The first stretch marks often appear at puberty with adolescent growth spurts. Common areas affected include the breasts, upper arms, stomach and thighs.
Pregnancy stretch marks usually occur during the third trimester when rapid weight gain stretches the skin on the lower abdomen and breasts.
However, men and women can develop stretch marks at any age, with sudden weight gain a common root cause.
Treating stretch marks will significantly improve the overall appearance of your skin and boost your self-esteem.
The best ways of treating stretch marks
We offer two minimally invasive yet highly effective treatment options for stretch mark removal: laser energy treatment and carbon dioxide injections.
Both methods harness the skin’s healing mechanisms, stimulating collagen production to rejuvenate the skin in the treated area.
Collagen production is crucial for skin repair and its presence makes the skin stronger, smoother and more elastic.
Laser stretch mark removal
Our London clinic uses Cool Laser, a low-temperature laser treatment that stimulates the production of new collagen. The fresh collagen softens the hard tissue of stretch marks, reducing its overall appearance and improving skin texture.
Is Cool Laser treatment painful?
Cool Laser stretch mark removal is highly effective without damaging the tissues in the treated area, and it causes minimal discomfort.
Your skin will be a little red after laser stretch mark removal, and it will start to peel after a few days, revealing smoother skin.
Aftercare instructions for our London clinic clients
We advise our clients to be extra careful with their skin for a few days after treatment, as laser treatments can make the skin extra sensitive. It is advisable to avoid exposure to heat, including the sun and to refrain from rubbing the skin.
When will I see the benefits of laser stretch mark removal?
The appearance of stretch marks will reduce over several weeks after your laser stretch mark removal treatment. The rate of collagen production will continue to increase until the desired results are achieved, which should be around three months.
How much does Cool Laser cost at the Sci-U London clinic?
A 60-minute Cool Laser treatment costs from £300.
Carboxy stretch mark removal at the London clinic
Carboxy is another innovative way to treat stretch marks by injecting infusions of carbon dioxide under the skin. This minimally invasive procedure stimulates the production of new collagen, softening and smoothing stretch marks. It also improves the circulation of red blood cells to the area, which helps repair the skin.
Is Carboxy a painful procedure?
Numbing cream can be supplied if desired.
How quickly will I see the results of my Carboxy treatment?
After a course of treatments, your skin will be much smoother, and the results will keep improving as your tissues will continue to produce new collagen for a few months.
The cost of Carboxy stretch mark removal treatment at the London clinic
Prices start at £150 for a 60-minute treatment.
