What is an abdominoplasty?
An abdominoplasty is a procedure aimed at enhancing the appearance of the abdomen. It restores the concave and convex contours for a harmonious tummy that showcases muscular definition. This practice involves the removal of excess subcutaneous fat from the lower abdomen, which often persists despite aging, pregnancy, or dieting. This can frequently lead to the presence of stretch marks or sagging, resulting in what is known as an "abdominal apron," commonly referred to as the lower belly.
While the operation enables patients to regain mobility and muscular comfort, it is also crucial to consider the aesthetic aspect of the resulting scar, which is often located near the pubis. To assist patients for whom the mark is a significant concern, the Juliet laser will be an alternative worth considering.
Why choose the Juliet laser?
Scars need to be treated with varying intensities. Thus, the treatment may require several sessions typically spaced 1 to 2 months apart, with complete sun avoidance to prevent rebound pigmentation. In nearly all cases, the treatment will be painless. If a deeper treatment is necessary, the doctor will prescribe a healing cream.
The Juliet laser creates micro-coagulation wells by employing the principle of photothermolysis, which involves rapidly heating a specific target, such as fibroblasts, while minimising the heating of the dermis. This technique allows for deep action while limiting thermal diffusion. A stimulation of skin cells facilitates a quick recovery of the skin, thus significantly reducing social withdrawal. Multiple passes will be made over the affected area, creating several impacts within the dermis. In response, the skin will naturally regenerate, healing at these points and appearing more taut.
