Scar Revision
Scars can be a permanent reminder of
unpleasant events. They can be
disfiguring. Some scars are thick,
wide, red, raised, itchy or even hurt.
Often with multiple modalities, these
can be improved to a point where they
are just a memory. Dr. Rose tailors
each treatment plan to the types of
scar you have to improve it maximally.
Call today for free consultation to
have your plan made for you.

Birthmarks
Birthmarks can be pigmented or
vascular (blood vessels).
Vascular birthmarks can be
treated with laser relatively
easily. Although vascular
birthmarks often involute (or go
away) as a child grows up, some
people choose to treat them.
Sometimes these lesions are in
an area that requires them to be
treated. Residual lesions in
adults also can be treated.
These laser treatments are
occasionally in conjunction with
other treatment modalities.
Multiple treatments are usually
required and desired to allow
the skin to retract especially
if the lesion is raised. These
treatments are relatively easy
and quick. If you are concerned
about a birthmark, contact Dr.
Rose, a board certified
dermatologist, for evaluation
for the best treatment plan for
you. |

Stretch Marks (Striae)
Stretch marks can leave purple
dimpling areas and are caused from
rapid growth. Some teenagers even find
stretch marks sometimes during rapid
growth periods. Usually over time they
shrink some and become white in color.
Stretch marks are caused from
stretching the skin so much and
quickly that the dermis is fractured,
leaving this soft indented line.
Unfortunately, stretch marks cannot be
removed, yet. Their appearance can
look better. Often the purple or red
color can be ablated (removed) which
frequently great improves the
appearance. The texture of the marks
can also be smoothed and sometimes
this will shrink the stretch mark. If
you would like to see if you are a
candidate to have your stretch marks
improved, please call Dr. Rose for a
free consultation.
Red Moles (Angiomas)
Red moles or angiomas are very common
growths that occur on many people.
These can quite easily be ablated with
usually one treatment. The laser
vaporizes the vessels in these
growths. A scab forms over the site
and peels away usually in a week or
two. Left behind is “normal skin” with
no residual lesion or mark. Rarely a
second treatment is needed especially
for larger thicker lesions. |
