NEW! STRETCH MARKS & SCAR THERAPYRemove your unwanted stretch marks and scarring.
What are Scars? Scar tissue forms as skin heals after an injury (such as an accident) or surgery. The amount of scarring may be determined by the wound size, depth, and location; the person's age; heredity; and skin characteristics including color (pigmentation). With the exception of very minor lesions, every wound results in some degree of scarring. Early scars are red or purple in color, a result of new blood vessels and inflammation. Mature scars are pale or white in color. No scar can be removed completely. How much the scar improves will depend on the direction and size of the scar, the age of the person, the skin type and color, and hereditary factors that may affect the healing process.
They Commonly Occur: After Surgery, After an Accident or After a Disease.
What are Stretch Marks?
Stretch marks are among the most common of scars. Stretch marks (Striae Distensae) are common skin conditions that represent linear dermal scars accompanied by epidermal atrophy. They are frequent undesirable skin lesions that result in considerable aesthetic concern. Early stretch marks (immature) are usually red in color and respond extremely well to treatment. Mature stretch marks are typically white in color and usually have a 50% improvement in texture. Approximately 90% of pregnant women, 70% of adolescent females, and 40% of adolescent males have stretch marks.
They Commonly Occur: After rapid weight loss or weight gain, After pregnancy or After rapid growth spurts.
What areas can I treat?
You can treat virtually any area stretch marks and scarring appears. Common treatment areas include: Abdomen, Thighs, Breasts, Buttocks, Upper Arms, Back of Knees, Lower Back and Flanks.
How can they be treated?
At Sona, a customized treatment plan will be tailored to undertake your individual needs. A series of treatments may include: 1) Peels and microdermabrasion to improve skin texture, firmness, and color; 2) Advance Fluorescent Technology reduces the red color of early stretch marks and works to improve the overall appearance; 3) Pixel treatments promote an increase in the amount of collagen and elastin fibers and work to improve the texture of the skin.
What are the Results?
Results can be seen after a single session however the most significant improvement is typically after 3-5 treatments. As your treatments progress you will notice the color of the stretch mark and scar diminish. Additionally, the texture of the skin will have dramatic improvement leaving the area softer and smoother.
The early stretch marks (striae rubra) and scars, usually red in color, notably have the most dramatic results, however all types of stretch marks (striae alba) and scars can achieve noticeable improvement. This technology is safe and effective with minimal side-effects, a wide safety margin and no downtime.

What are the differences between Lipotherapy and Liposuction?
Lipotherapy Conventional Liposuction Minimal discomfort, swelling, and bruising. Considerable bruising. Risk of internal and/or excessive bleeding. No down time. Rapid return (same day, or at the very worst, next day) to work and normal activities. Procedure results in down time, requiring time off work. Recovery time is usually weeks. Minimal discomfort during and after procedure. A numbing gel can be applied prior to treatment to further minimize minor discomfort of micro-injections. Significant discomfort. Prescription narcotics typically required after procedure to control pain. Tiny puncture points. No stitches or scarring. Bruising is likely, but disappears in less than a week. Larger puncture points. Procedure requires stitches. Likely to cause scarring and have been known to cause permanent “divots” in the skin. No hospital or overnight stay. Procedure typically completed in less than an hour. Can return to work. Hospital admission. Removes fat evenly, with very low risk of dimpling, leaving skin smooth and rejuvenated. Some necessary fat cells are left in each area so if excessive weight is gained back it distributes evenly. Removal of fat may leave area uneven, cause dimples or bulges. Additional treatments may be required to reduce the dimpling effect. All fat cells removed from the area so if excessive weight is gained the fat will deposit in an area not treated resulting in a disproportionate figure. Extremely effective for reduction of localized fat and cellulite. Not intended for the reduction of cellulite. Tightens and strengthens skin. Causes loose and weak skin that may require additional treatment afterwards. Substantially lower cost. No anesthetic and no facility fees. Much more expensive procedure. Liposuction cost comprises three fees: surgeon fees, anesthesia fees, and facility fees. Is Lipotherapy the right treatment for me? Lipotherapy is very effective for removing localized areas of stubborn fat on the outside of our bodies. Lipotherapy is not a general weight-loss treatment, nor a treatment for obesity. This is important, as it also implies that it is not “fast-food-proof” – (I guess this holds true of any “standard” diet or general weight loss treatment as well!) once you completed your treatments, you need to watch your weight, as your localized fat will return if you pick up weight. It is not suitable for patients with liver dysfunction, kidney disease, immune problems, uncontrolled diabetes, and certain other active disorders. PIXEL™ SKIN RESURFACING
