Stretch Mark Reduction
Stretch marks met their match.
The most common areas for stretch marks to appear are on the breasts, abdomen, hips, buttocks, or thighs. Laser therapy has the power to reduce the appearance of your stretch marks without incisions or lengthy downtime. The procedure can help smooth out the skin, improving the texture and appearance of stretch marks.
Our Stretch Mark Reduction treatment uses the ResurFX laser, which provides a non-ablative treatment for scar tissue. By using heat and controlled depths of energy, we stimulate the tissue’s healing response to produce new collagen in the area, resulting in the improved texture of the skin. Depending on the colour of the tears in the skin, IPL may also be used to target the red and purple tones in the stretch mark. Before pursuing treatment, understand there’s a possibility your stretch marks may not disappear completely but the overall feel and appearance can be greatly improved.

I want to thank and share my impressions of how I did Stretch Mark Reduction at SKIN Clinics Winnipeg. I had terrible stretch marks after the second birth and at this stage I have already done two Stretch Mark Reduction with Jill.
