If you have stretch marks, you may have long ago resigned yourself to the fact that you have three choices: topical creams, which may or may not offer limited results, expensive and painful surgery, or just acceptance of the problem. But Owasso Medical Spa has just expanded your options dramatically. They recently acquired Fraxel, a revolutionary laser machine from Reliant Technologies, and Gina Holloway, Spa Director at Owasso Medical Spa is excited to report great results since its arrival.
“We’ve been treating stretch marks and have had incredible results,” says Gina, who points out that Fraxel has been featured on The View, The Today Show and Extreme Makeover. “Fraxel Laser Treatment is speedy and well tolerated by patients.”
What is Fraxel? “Fraxel Laser Treatment is a new aesthetic solution that repairs aging and sun-damaged skin—pixel by pixel, spot by spot,” Gina explains. “It is new generation laser skin resurfacing similar to digital photo-editing for your skin.”
Fraxel was originally designed and approved by the FDA for skin-resurfacing, treating Melasma, reducing Periorobital wrinkles, and improving age spots and sun spots. The results were amazing for these problems as well, but in the process of treatment, it was discovered that Fraxel had phenomenal success in treating stretch marks. Most people associate stretch marks with pregnancy, but there can be many causes: weight gain, muscle growth due to body building and sudden spurts of growth in adolescents. No matter what the cause, Fraxel is rapidly becoming known as the premiere treatment for stretch marks.
Fraxel works by precisely targeting small areas of underlying skin, thus stimulating deep skin layers to produce collagen. Surrounding skin is protected, allowing the area to heal much more quickly. Patients can expect to experience minimal discomfort, and most are able to return immediately to routine activities on the same day they are treated.
Jack Lamberson, D.O., medical director and owner of Owasso Medical Spa, did not just take the word of others when it came to this new technology. He used Fraxel on his left hand to in order to compare the results against his right hand, which he did not treat. The results were obvious. The skin on the left hand was smoother, tighter and much fresher looking than the skin on the right. “Fraxel is the real Cadillac of skin resurfacing,” says Dr. Lamberson. “Its technology is far ahead of any others, but people just haven’t realized it yet.” In fact, Owasso Medical Spa’s Fraxel machine is one of only 700 in the world and is the only one in Northeast Oklahoma.
There is plenty of research available on Fraxel, but you do not have to take anyone’s word for it either. You can visit Owasso Medical Spa in February at the Tulsa Women’s Living Show, where Dr. Lamberson will do demonstrations of Fraxel and many other services routinely provided by Owasso Medical Spa. “We will have a significant amount of drawings for free procedures at the Show as well,” notes Dr. Lamberson, who wants people to see first-hand what Owasso Medical Spa has to offer.
