Is there a way to get rid of stretch marks and tighten skin on the abdomen?
Skin tightening and scar revision with lasers has come a long way. Much can be done with a broad array of techniques and technologies. Skin laxity on the abdomen, however, is often in a league of its own. When it comes to scar revision, stretch marks are the most challenging. Sadly, sometimes little can be done.
This can be heartbreaking for many women who would like to wear a two-piece suit with confidence.
If the skin on your abdomen is flaccid, wrinkled or scarred with stretch marks, I have exciting news. A new laser treatment has been introduced that can effectively tighten skin and improve stretch marks at the same time.
To explain why this treatment is a breakthrough, I’ll have to talk a bit of laser physics. I’ll try to explain this in laymen’s terms.
There are many classifications of lasers and each delivers energy at different depths and speeds. They can deliver the energy either ablatively or non-ablatively. Ablative treatments cut; non-ablative treatments do not.
A laser known as an Erbium Yag is usually used cosmetically to cause ablation to the skin. Essentially, it pokes microscopic holes into the skin which causes the skin to slough layers for a smoothing effect. Injury is the goal because it triggers a healing response which causes the body to produce collagen and tighten skin. Non-ablative treatments injure non-invasively but with reduced efficacy. Are you following me? This will make sense shortly.
Until now, Erbium Yags could only deliver energy in microseconds. Thus, they could only deliver ablative treatments. Now, there is a new Erbium Yag laser that has been introduced to the North American market. This European laser, known as Fotona, has the ability to deliver energy in pulses that are so slow the treatment becomes non-ablative.It no longer cuts but still has the power and versatility of an Erbium Yag! Fotona’s Super Long Pulse Smooth Mode delivers the energy over a period of 2.5 seconds. This is the breakthrough that allows us to achieve outcomes that previously were not possible.
It’s time to make “Peace” with your “Two-Piece!”
Skinpossible uses Fotona’s Smooth Mode for an impressive menu of other treatments as well. Our laser treatments for Stress Urinary Incontinence, Vaginal Tightening, Snoring and Intra-oral Lower Face Tightening are all done with Smooth Mode. This new development in laser technology also makes our abdominal tightening and stretch mark reduction protocol possible.
Over the years we have continually worked at improving efficacy in tightening skin on the abdomen and improving stretch marks. We have introduced a variety of increasingly advanced methods but nothing we have ever offered previously has come close to delivering the results we are seeing from this new combination treatment. Tightening the skin on the abdomen and improving stretch marks can be life changing for women of all ages. It warms our hearts to see the joy on the faces of women as their treatment plan progresses and the results gradually improve. We are thrilled to be the first clinic in Western Canada to offer this exciting new treatment!
Skinpossible is a private medical aesthetics clinic located in the community of Chaparral
Valley. Assessments and consultations are free and so is parking.
