STRETCH MARK REMOVAL
HALO
How Does This Procedure Work?
Halo is a fractional resurfacing device that delivers thousands of tiny laser beams that treat only a fraction of your skin at a time. Halo produces microscopic injuries to the skin that encourages and promotes new skin cells to replace damaged cells resulting in smoother and healthier skin and faded stretch marks!
What Does The treatment Feel Like?
Prior to treatment, the skin is numbed for 30 minutes. During the treatment there is a feeling of heat with occasional prickling sensations. Most patients rate the mild discomfort a 2-4 out of 10 depending on the settings being used. However, there is a chilling component combined with the machine that helps manage the discomfort significantly. Actual treatment time typically takes anywhere between 30-60 minutes. After the procedure there may be some redness and mild stinging for an hour or so, followed with some temporary bronzing which will flake off in a few days.

MICRONEEDLING (Coming Soon)
How Does This Procedure Work?
Microneedling also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), is a minimally invasive resurfacing procedure. This multi-purpose treatment uses fine needles to create hundreds of tiny invisible injuries to the top layer of the skin. When there is an injury introduced to the skin, the skin will go through a healing process where the skin will rejuvenate and promote new skin cells resulting in improved texture and diminished stretch marks. Unlike laser resurfacing treatments, this is a non-laser treatment therefore has minimal discomfort and shorter downtime.
What Does The Treatment Feel Like?
During the procedure, a numbing topical is applied for 30 minutes. The area will be cleansed and a hydrating gel will be applied to the treating area to glide the microneedling pen while absorbing the serum into the skin. Multiple passes are performed to ensure uniform coverage. During the treatment you will feel a prickling and mild scratching sensation and will experience mild pinpoint bleeding, however many find this procedure very tolerable with very little discomfort. Treatment usually takes 45-60 minutes.
