Laser Scar and Stretch Mark Removal

Remove scars and reveal confidence with the Icon™ laser

About Icon Laser Treatments

Everyone has scars or stretch marks—they’re a natural part of life. But when they impact your confidence and self-esteem, and, in some cases, even cause discomfort, it’s time for them to go. Not all scars are the same, but the cutting-edge Icon laser safely removes or reduces the appearance of most, including:

 

  • Acne scars (atrophic)
  • Raised scars from surgeries or injuries (keloid or hypertrophic)
  • Scars from burns that create a tight layer of damaged skin (contracture)
  • Stretch marks caused by the natural expansion of your skin over time (striae)

 

How it Works

Icon utilizes fractional laser technology to deliver specialized pulses of light energy into the skin, targeting uneven pigment and tissue that make up stretch marks and scars without harming the surrounding skin. The light energy is absorbed by the skin and jumpstarts the body’s natural healing process; it increases collagen production to allow new, healthy skin to grow and replace scar tissue. The appearance of scars and stretchmarks will continue to improve during the weeks after the procedure, revealing smooth, even-toned skin.

What to Expect

Sessions typically take less than 30 minutes depending on the size of the area being treated. First, you will be provided eye shields to protect yourself from the laser during treatment. The treatment begins with the technician guiding the Icon hand piece over the treatment area. The laser delivers pulses of light into your skin. Depending on the intensity of your treatment, you may feel nothing or mild discomfort, like the feeling of a rubber band snapping on the skin followed by a warm sensation. You may also experience mild redness or swelling at the treatment site, but this typically resolves within a few days. Gentle cleansers, sensitive skincare products, and non-irritating cosmetics can be used post-treatment. The laser causes photosensitivity, or heightened sensitivity to the sun, and you must avoid sun exposure and use a sunscreen after treatment.

Comprehensive Scar Treatment Packages
