Question 1

Can scars and stretch marks actually be treated?

Accepted Answer

Yes, though the degree of improvement depends on the type, age, depth, and location of the scar or stretch mark. While they cannot be fully erased, the right treatment can significantly reduce their appearance, improve skin texture, and help them blend more naturally with the surrounding skin. A consultation is the best way to assess what is possible for your specific concern.

Question 2

Are older scars or stretch marks harder to treat?

Accepted Answer

Generally, yes. Newer scars and stretch marks tend to respond better to treatment as the tissue is still in a more active state. Older marks are more established and may require a more intensive or longer course of treatment. That said, meaningful improvement is still achievable in many cases, and we assess this during your consultation.

Question 3

What treatments work best for depressed or atrophic scars?

Accepted Answer

Depressed scars such as those left by acne respond well to treatments that stimulate collagen production and restore volume beneath the skin's surface. SkinPen Microneedling triggers the body's natural collagen response. Sculptra builds collagen gradually from within. Dermal fillers can be used to lift and fill depressed areas for a more immediate improvement. The best approach depends on the depth and type of scarring, which we assess during your consultation.

Question 4

How many sessions will I need?

Accepted Answer

The number of sessions depends on the type, severity, and age of the concern being treated. Most patients require a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart to achieve meaningful improvement.

Question 5

What kind of improvement can I realistically expect?

Accepted Answer

Results vary significantly depending on the type and severity of the concern. Most patients see a meaningful reduction in the visibility of scars or stretch marks, with improvement in texture, tone, and blending with surrounding skin. Full elimination is not always achievable, but significant improvement is.
