Stretch Marks Removal
Stretch Marks, also known as striae, are a form of scarring on the skin with an off-color hue. Over time they may diminish, but will not disappear completely. Stretch marks formed during pregnancy, usually during the last trimester, and usually on the belly, but also commonly occurring on the breasts, thighs, hips, lower back and buttocks, are known as striae gravidarum.
Stretch marks are caused by tearing of the dermis. This is often from the rapid stretching of the skin associated with rapid growth or rapid weight changes. Stretch marks may also be influenced by hormonal changes associated with puberty, pregnancy, bodybuilding, or hormone replacement therapy. Although stretch marks are not medical problem, they can cause embarrassment and self-consciousness.

Acne or Acne Vulgaris (also known as pimples) is a skin condition affecting many people at some stage of their lives. For the most effective Acne treatment, we at New Face Laser & Cosmetic Clinic use the most Advanced Machine eTWO by SYNERON-CANDELA USA.
The effect of Acne starts with greasy secretions from oil glands in the skin with plugging of the tiny openings of the hair follicles. If the openings are small it will lead to a white head, if they are large it can often lead to a blackhead. Both are due to pores in the skin clogging, leading to a red inflamed breakout. Scarring is more than a skin condition, the effects of scars can be a loss of confidence or lack of self-esteem.
Sublative is fractionated bi-polar RF technology that uses heat energy to encourage significant increases of collagen and elastin in the upper dermis – with low epidermal disruption for a broad range of skin types.
