Stretch Marks Removal |
|
Colin Herd, M.D. has been offering laser hair removal in Columbus for years. Call today for a consultation.
Everyone hates having stretch marks. They show up on our skin due to hormone changes during phases in our lives. These hormonal shifts may be due to events such as pregnancy, major weight loss or gain, puberty, even weight lifting all may contribute to the formation of stretch marks.
Skin with stretch marks looks very different from normal skin, the hallmark red or white lines which streak across our skin stand out greatly. What’s strange is that skin with stretch marks looks almost identical to normal, healthy skin under a microscope. The damaged elastin fiber proteins in the skin only make up about 4% of skin, though the appearance is much more significant.
Fortunately new lasers, such as Fraxel and Affirm, can help diminish some of the textural problems with stretch marks. Call to schedule an appointment today to learn more about laser treatment for stretch marks.

Dr Herd is very personable and informative and helpful. My first laser treatment was a good experience. A few weeks later, however,I had placed an order and was told I would receive it by last Thursday. I never received it, so I called to cancel it and was told it was already mailed so I could not cancel it; I asked when it was mailed I was told they could not find that information either. I asked because I wanted to make sure it wasn't going to be post marked with today's date. I asked how long the prescription lasted for and she was unable to tell me and suggested I go to the manufacturer website , which I did and was unable to find the information. She said she asked her manager and the manager did not know. I asked for the name of her manager and she would not tell me, just that I would receive my order very soon. Later the same day, I called back and asked to speak to the manager, I was told she could not come to the phone, I would have to leave a message. For a second and third time I asked for the name of the manager, without an answer. I then asked why she could not give me her name, she would not answer that question either and placed me back on hold. Not very happy with staff to say the least.
