Two of the most commonly cited problem areas that med spa patients want to treat are scars and stretch marks. With advances in aesthetic treatments, you can see dramatic improvement and even total reduction of scars and stretch marks.


At Mekari Dental Studio & Spa in Metairie and Greater New Orleans, LA, our treatment options will make scars and stretch marks a worry of the past. Our laser therapies are state of the art, and combined with other aesthetic and beauty services, we can safely and effectively target and minimize scars and stretch marks.

How Scars & Stretch Marks Form

Stretch marks form when your skin stretches or shrinks quickly. The abruptness of this change can cause the collagen and elastin in the skin to rupture. Collagen and elastin support our skin, making it appear healthy and nourished. Stretch marks are most commonly formed during growth spurts, pregnancy, rapid weight loss or gain, or during weight training when rapid muscle growth occurs.



Scars form when there is a cut or abrasion to the skin, causing skin to stretch or try to fill in the gaps in the wound. Scar tissue is made primarily of collagen. Acne scarring can occur when you pick at your acne or when cystic acne causes deep pitting in the face. If you’re suffering from scars or stretch marks in Metairie, LA, Dr. Mekari can offer incredibly effective treatment options that minimize the appearance of scars and stretch marks.

Scar & Stretch Mark Treatment Options at Mekari Dental Studio & Spa

Dr. Mekari has been in private practice since 1998. He offers a wide variety of treatment options that will show rapid results in treating scars and stretch marks.

  • Subnovii Plasma - The Subnovii Plasma laser is great for stretch marks. The heat from the laser targets deeper layers of skin and naturally promotes the generation of collagen and elastin.
  • Skin Resurfacing - The CoolPeel C02 Laser works on most skin types and is one of the state-of-the-art tools we use to promote skin resurfacing, allowing newer, healthier skin to be exposed.
  • PDO Thread Lifts - A revolutionary treatment for acne scars, PDO is not offered by many providers; however,  PDO thread lifts  are a safe, natural way to reduce the appearance of acne scarring and other scars or stretch marks.
  • Sub-Z - We also use Sub-Z, which minimizes pain, thermal injury, bruising and swelling for injectable and laser treatments.
