Scars and marks are most embarrassing socially and
psychologically may be acne scars or pits, burnt scar, pox
mark, stretch mark or pits
Stretch
marks are the most common types
of skin lesions. About 90% of pregnant
women get stretch marks. They also
affect 70% of adolescent females
and about 40% of young males. In
medical terminology, stretch marks
are called striae. Mature stretch
marks are devoid of color, and newer
stretch marks are often red in color.
Getting
rid of these restores the lost
confidence. Depending upon the gravity
and quantum of scars and marks,
specific peels and Microdermabrasion
are recommended.
BERKOWITS uses a
series of Microdermabrasion (Mda)
treatments on the scarred area to
stimulate the production of collagen
and elastin that will boost the
thickness and elasticity of your
skin, and, most importantly, to
stretch the connective tissue under
the surface of the skin. It is because
the connective tissue under your
scar has shrunk that the surface
of the skin shows the indentation
– effectively giving your
skin a ‘memory’ of the
scar so the scar doesn’t disappear
despite your skin cells being constantly
renewed. Our treatments effectively
re-train the skin to grow evenly
giving you a permanently smooth
skin surface. Berkowits utilizes
unique 3rd generation Mda machines
capable of operating at high vacuum
with crystals

BERKOWITS also uses UV lights for Acne
scars and Pits.
For
optimum results we would strongly recommend
that you upgrade your scar treatment to
include several Regenerative Peels which
thicken and firm the skin. As part of
the combined course, we will give you
‘at home’ products –
these products are not available other
than from specialist skin clinics such
as Berkowits Clinics.
You should not need any recovery time.
You should expect the treated area to
be slightly red for about half an hour
after treatment although in some circumstances
the redness may last for up to 24 hours.
A
highly visible improvement is normally noticeable
after a course of 10 weekly treatments.
You may get further improvements from additional
courses
