Two different laser treatments are used to reduce the appearance of stretch marks. When stretch marks are red or purple the IPL (intense pulsed light) laser can be used to reduce the redness and decrease any associated inflammation. For stretch marks that have faded to the silvery-white color, the Fractional laser resurfacing is preferred. 

The Fraxel treatment uses patented fractional technology to target damaged skin with microscopic laser columns that penetrate deep into the skin. The laser causes minor injuries in the skin called microtrauma. The microtrauma created by the laser stimulates the production of collagen which helps to replenish the lost collagen in the stretch marks and helps to reduce imperfections. The Fractional laser resurfacing treatment causes the stretch marks to become narrower and gives the skin a smoother appearance.

 can be described as a blemish that appears on the face or body that can vary in size, shape, and color. Some moles are flat, while others can have a raised appearance. The majority of moles are usually harmless, however, if you notice a change in color or shape, or if the mole begins to irritate, then you should have it checked by a doctor as these symptoms could be signs of something more serious. Highly visible moles on the body or face can often lead to loss of confidence or embarrassment for certain individuals. Moles that restrict movement, or which are overly large, can sometimes result in pain and distress.

The application of tattoos is a widespread practice with a long cross-cultural history. Because of their widespread application, there is a rising trend for the removal of unwanted tattoos. Tattoo removal is the complete removal of the multicolor ink that is deposited under the skin.

Before the advent of the medical laser, common techniques included cryosurgery, dermabrasion or excision. Darker colored or black inks are most responsive to treatment, although devices that include a variety of wavelengths can successfully address the fuller spectrum of colors seen in the modern tattoo. Treatment of tattoos can be performed anywhere on the body.

Removal of tattoos depends on the principle of selective photothermolysis; the proper wavelength is applied and the ink absorbs the energy preferentially, causing it to break down. The body’s natural maintenance processes remove broken down pigment over time. Surrounding tissue is largely unaffected but not entirely spared, so tattoo removal is typically uncomfortable for patients. Numerous sessions are required to maximize results.

The Q-switched laser is the most commonly used for tattoo removal. Adequate skin cooling maximizes patient comfort and allows practitioners to deliver more energy safely; modulation of treatment parameters allows users to customize treatment based on the condition and skin type of the individual patient, to maximize results as well as manage patient comfort and the potential for side effects. Treatment of darker skin with laser- or light-based modalities can be problematic due to the increased potential for burning or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).
