Spring break is at arm’s reach! You probably already have lounging by a pool under the Rio Grande Valley sun in mind, too! At Uptown Medical Wellness & Anti-Aging Center in McAllen, we want for you to feel confident doing it all in a bathing suit. One-piece or two, you should feel great in the skin you’re in, no matter what.
If you’re dealing with stretch marks or scars, though, know that they can be treated and safely removed.* In McAllen, we offer a variety of laser skin treatments that can work for you!* You’ll be so satisfied with the results that you’ll want to show more skin off during spring break!*
Stretch marks are more common than we think and can happen to just about anyone. They can occur during puberty, pregnancy, rapid weight gain and, in some cases, genetics can be to blame. Stretch marks appear when rapid expansion occurs in the body and the connective tissue of the skin is stretched beyond its limits of elasticity. Connective fibers then break, which disrupts new collagen production. This forms in the dermis layer, and when tissue is stretched, it leaves behind stretch marks. Common areas where stretch marks form include:
Just because you have stretch marks doesn’t mean you should have to live with them for the rest of your life. Fortunately, there is a solution to help get rid of them! Uptown Medical Wellness & Anti-Aging Center in McAllen offers a laser stretch mark removal service that requires no downtime and is quick and virtually painless.* A high-energy, ultraviolet laser light targets and breaks down stretch marks, which triggers new tissue production. New collagen contributes to both the texture and color of stretch marks.
On top of having little to no downtime, this treatment is also non-invasive. Complete stretch mark removal may require several treatments.* Each treatment can last 15 to 30 minutes.* Don’t worry about pain with this treatment since you may only experience mild discomfort.*
Ever catch yourself staring at a scar and wishing it wasn’t there? Do you avoid wearing certain clothing because you’re hiding a scar? If so, we have good news for you! We offer laser scar removal treatments that aim to reduce and remove the appearance of unwanted scars.*
This treatment works by using a beam of light that smooths out the top layer of skin, breaking down scar tissue to help generate new, healthy skin.* Like our laser stretch mark removal treatment, this one is virtually pain-free and requires no downtime.* Now is the time to remove unwanted scarring!
Don’t let embarrassing stretch marks or scars keep you from showing off your body. Know that you have the option of removing them and starting over!* Contact us today in McAllen to book your treatment!
