FOR OLDER SCARS

Stretch marks that have been about for a while and have become white require laser treatment to rejuvenate the skin.

Smartxide DOT Laser helps resurface the skin by stimulating collagen, which shrinks and fades the discolouration. The wand-shaped device targets the laser, damaging the outer layers of the epidermis. New skin cells develop, resulting in a smoother, firmer appearance. Three to five treatments may be needed. From £900.
