Amalurra Centre for Medical Aesthetics now offers scar revision and stretch mark treatment using the advanced Fotona® laser system.
Lasers are ideally suited for the effective treatment of a wide range of scar tissues. Er:YAG skin resurfacing is used for gentle ablation of scar tissue and activation of collagen remodeling. Acne scars in particular respond well to Er:YAG treatments, helping to improve skin texture and tone. For hypertrophic scars, clinical research conducted with the Nd:YAG wavelength show further improvement in the aesthetic appearance and overall tissue quality of a scar, including erythema, volume, pliability, etc.
Unlike chemical peels and dermabrasion, laser skin resurfacing allows the penetration depth to be precisely controlled. The laser gently vaporizes micron-thin layers of the acne-scarred surface to reveal healthy, undamaged skin below. Laser resurfacing is a fast, safe and simple procedure. The minimally invasive nature of laser scar-revision treatments means that they are well tolerated by patients, and faster recovery times allow the psychological impact of scar revision treatments to be realized much sooner by patients.

Our skin experts also use Fotona® technology for stretch mark treatment, which is clinically shown to improve skin texture and appearance, encourage collagen remodeling, and is suitable for all skin tones. The Fotona® LineLase™ treatment softens and flattens the appearance of stretch marks while improving the overall appearance of the skin. It is a comfortable and non-aggressive procedure, allowing you to return immediately to your normal routine.
LineLase™ is a 2-step procedure that combines laser skin tightening with ablative resurfacing. The first stage consists of a revolutionary non-ablative laser mode applied to the treatment area, which is ideal for skin tightening. The intense, controlled surface tissue heating stimulates collagen remodeling and initiates neocollagenesis. The effects result in an overall improvement of laxity and elasticity in the treated areas. The second stage consists of skin ablation with a full or fractional laser beam, which improves the scar characteristics of the stretch marks and removes superficial imperfections.
For best results, laser treatment should be performed as soon as possible after the appearance of stretch marks, as it is generally more successful for treating stretch marks in the early stages. The treatment should be repeated several times, depending on the size and condition of the skin. Contact us today to get started on your stretch mark treatment.
