Fractional Scar / Stretch Mark Removal in Brooklyn, NY

Park Slope Laser Aesthetic Center in Brooklyn, NY offers the Icon™ Fractional Laser created by Cynosure®. This is an innovative fractional erbium laser that alters damaged skin as well as stimulates the skin to produce new collagen. In turn, this laser will cause your body to create new skin tissue, rejuvenating your skin and causing your stretch marks and scars to fade.

Icon™ utilizes fractional laser technology to deliver specialized pulses of energy into your skin and targets your unwanted pigment, wrinkles, stretch marks or scars without causing harm to the surrounding skin. Once the energy is absorbed into the skin your body’s natural healing process will begin creating new, healthy skin (that is more even in both color and texture) in the area that was treated.

The Icon™ Fractional Laser has a variety of uses, but many individuals at Park Slope Laser Aesthetic Center see results when using this laser for:
● Surgical scar treatment
● Acne scar treatment
● Stretch mark treatment

With the advanced technology of the ICON™ Fractional Laser, treatments can be safely used on most skin types colors. During your consultation at our Brooklyn NYC spa, we will determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure after assessing your skin, assessing the area and on various other factors.

You can expect to see an improved appearance of your skin tone and texture over the first 6 weeks after your treatment.

Most people feel mild discomfort during the treatment, but we encourage our clients to speak to their provider regarding pain management options. This also depends on the patient’s pain tolerance level. Most sessions do not take longer than 30-45 minutes, unless the area being treated is a large size. Depending on the condition being treated 1-3 treatment sessions are recommended for skin renewal and 3-5+ sessions are recommended for stretch marks and scars, or potentially more, depending on various factors. Time of treatment and number of sessions are based on the size of the area, scar/stretch mark appearance, etc. Treatment sessions should be scheduled 2-6 weeks apart. Your treatment provider will be able to provide you with session intervals after doing your first treatment.

Typically, you can resume regular daily activities the same day as your treatment. If a more aggressive treatment is performed, you may require a couple days of healing. Our estheticians at Park Slope Laser Aesthetic Center advice that you must apply SPF daily when going outdoors.

Immediately after the treatment at our Brooklyn NYC location, redness, swelling and/or brown debris at the surface of the skin is common and typically lasts 2-24 hours but could last up to 3-5 days in some cases. We will discuss any other possible side effects and the necessary post-treatment care with you during the consultation.
