With this treatment we can both reduce the redness and the appearance of scars and stretch marks. For scars and stretch marks, ResurFACE works in the same way as overall skin rejuvenation. Minute sections of the skin are targeted with laser light, which penetrates into the tissue. This causes small columns of thermal damage which, in turn, stimulates significant collagen renewal. The surrounding non-affected areas of skin aid the body’s natural recovery process, allowing dramatic results without significant downtime.

A warm, heating sensation is felt during treatment, with some mild stinging. After treatment the skin can be quite hot, which is why cooling packs are often utilised to minimise discomfort

Most people are suitable for treatment. We recommend a consultation with your clinician to ascertain if the treatment will be successful for you. For those taking Roaccutane (an acne medication) it is best not to undergo treatment for acne scars until you have been off the medication for a minimum of 6 months. 

A full consultation will be carried out before any treatment is offered to exclude any problems.       

To get started on your treatment journey, the first step is to book a free consultation with us. This will provide us an opportunity to answer any questions you have and discuss a treatment plan. 

You will experience a mild sunburn sensation for a few hours after treatment and the skin may be red for 1 to 2 days. This is a normal sign that the skin is healing at a deep level. Swelling is likely but minimal and resolves in 2 to 3 days. As the healing process occurs, your skin may have a ‘bronzed’ appearance that lasts from 3 to 10 days, depending on the treatment level. Your skin will naturally exfoliate and may flake as if you had mild sunburn.
