Stretch Mark/ Scar Reduction
Stretch Mark/ Scar Reduction
Scar Reduction in Delray Beach, FL
Scars form as a result of the body’s natural healing process after an injury or wound. When the skin is cut, burned, or damaged in any way, the body will work to fight off infection and promote healing. After the wound heals, a scar is formed.
Stretch Mark Reduction in Delray Beach, FL
Stretch marks are formed when the skin is stretched rapidly and the underlying tissues are pulled beyond their limits, causing the dermis (middle layer of skin) to tear. This can happen due to various reasons such as rapid weight gain, pregnancy, puberty, and bodybuilding.
Here at Dash Medical Spa, we have a range of solutions to help minimize stretch marks and/or scars. The stretch marks and scars are never completely erased, but different modalities are used to treat the area to drastically improve the appearance of the skin and sometimes make them nearly invisible.

How Does Stretch Mark/Scar Reduction Work?
- During the treatment, targeted energy is applied to the affected area, promoting skin renewal.
- The energy is emitted in short pulses and directed at the affected area of the skin.Â
- It is absorbed by the water in the skin cells, causing the cells to heat up and vaporize or break apart.Â
- This controlled damage to the skin’s top layer stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for healthy skin.
- Collagen and elastin help to improve skin texture, elasticity, and overall appearance.
- During the healing process one can experience redness and swelling, followed by healing over several days to weeks.
- Usually, multiple treatments are needed for best results.
