Best Medical Spa Vancouver for Laser Skin Care and Scar Treatment

SCARS + STRETCH MARKS

Whenever a part of our body suffers a superficial injury, the dermis of the skin begins a spontaneous healing process, knitting the skin back together and forming scars.

Scarring can be caused by several factors such as surgery, stretching of the skin which leads to stretch marks, but most commonly acne. Acne scarring can manifest as depressed, round scars or as a bumpy or wavy skin texture. Other types of scars may appear red or brownish and be slightly raised.

At False Creek Skin Solution Clinic, recognized as the best medical spa Vancouver, we offer advanced options for scar reduction and laser skin care Vancouver BC to help you achieve smoother skin.

Scar Types:

• Stretch Marks – caused by rapid stretching of the skin due to growth spurts, pregnancy, or sudden weight changes. The elastic elements in the dermis break, creating crack-like scar formations that can be red or white depending on healing stage.

• Atrophic – indented scars caused by chickenpox, scab picking, or acne.

• Hypertrophic – raised scars due to excessive collagen during healing.

• Keloid – overgrown scars spreading beyond the original wound site, especially common in individuals with more melanin in their skin.
