What causes acne scars & stretch marks?

Scars form as part of the skin’s healing process whenever multiple layers of skin are injured. The injury may be the result of an accident, surgery, a burn or even severe acne causes the breakdown of collagen and elastin. Pregnancy, body building and weight loss are the leading causes of stretch marks. Stretch marks occur most frequently in areas of mechanical stress such as the breasts, abdomen, thighs, groin or buttocks. In the beginning, stretch marks are red. They turn white as part of the healing process.

Today, several new laser techniques are available to treat a wide variety of scars and stretch marks. The laser’s energy stimulates the skin under the scar and causes the stimulating collagen in the skin. This thickens the skin under the scar until it closely resembles the surrounding normal skin.
