Scar & Striae Remodel Therapy – micro-point remodeling for softer scars and less visible stretch marks
Some marks in the skin aren’t “surface problems” you can simply moisturize away—they’re part of your skin’s history. Acne scars, small hypertrophic scars and striae (stretch marks) form when the skin has gone through inflammation, injury or rapid stretching, and the supportive tissue in the dermis has reorganized. That’s why they often stay visible even with great skincare.
At AQP, Scar & Striae Remodel Therapy is a cosmetic, non-surgical treatment designed to improve texture in small, defined fields using CE-certified Maglev Jett Plasma. Results are often best built as a short series for a more even overall look.
Why do scars become visible?
Scarring is the result of the skin’s repair system.
When skin is injured or deeply inflamed, the body:
-
clears damaged tissue,
-
builds new supportive tissue,
-
then gradually reorganizes collagen over time.
Depending on how that process balances out, scars can look and feel different.
Acne scars (boxcar/rolling)
The most common acne scars are atrophic (depressed). They often form when inflammation extends deeper, and the repair process doesn’t rebuild an even “support layer” in the same way across the area. The result is small indentations that catch and reflect light differently.
Small hypertrophic scars (non-keloid)
Hypertrophic scars are raised because the skin built too much scar tissue—typically within the boundaries of the original injury. This is different from keloids, which can grow beyond the injury area. That’s why this treatment is intended for small hypertrophic scars (non-keloid) and is not suitable for a keloid tendency.
Why do we get striae (stretch marks)?
Striae are not “cracks on the surface.” They are a type of dermal scarring that occurs when the skin is stretched quickly (puberty, pregnancy, weight changes, muscle gain) and the collagen/elastin network is overloaded.
-
Early striae can look more red/purple (more active phase)
-
Over time they often become lighter and slightly “sunken” (more mature scar phase)
In both cases, the key issue is structure and texture, not “dirty pores” or pigment alone.
How Scar & Striae Remodel Therapy works at AQP
AQP uses CE-certified Maglev Jett Plasma, conservative settings and strict hygiene routines. This is a cosmetic, non-surgical treatment with expected downtime of 5–10 days (tiny dry scabs). Daily SPF is required during the healing period.
What does plasma jet do in practice?
Think of plasma jet as a very precise “energy brush” that works point by point in a defined field.
At each micro-point, there is a controlled, superficial heat/tissue effect. This is what creates the tiny dry scabs in the treated points. When the area is allowed to heal undisturbed, the skin initiates a tidy repair response in that field.
Why micro-point treatment?
Because scars and striae are rarely uniform. They are a “map” of different depths and directions. Treating small fields allows us to:
-
be precise where texture needs it most,
-
keep settings conservative,
-
build a smoother overall result gradually.
What we treat (coverage)
Scar & Striae Remodel Therapy is designed for small, defined fields:
-
Acne scars (boxcar/rolling – small fields)
-
Small hypertrophic scars (non-keloid)
-
Striae / stretch marks (defined areas)
Treatment is often planned as a series for a more even overall effect.
The experience (60 minutes)
Assessment → plan → plasma in micro-fields → calming finish → home care plan
We work methodically:
-
assess your scar/striae type and area,
-
define the treatment fields,
-
finish with a calming protocol and clear aftercare instructions.
Results & expectations
Texture improvement is gradual biology—and that’s important to understand.
-
Downtime: tiny dry scabs for 5–10 days is common
-
Do not pick: picking increases the risk of uneven healing and pigmentation changes
-
Multiple visits: some scars/striae need more than one session—especially mature marks or larger areas
-
Goal: softer texture and reduced visibility—not “erasing” skin history
Before & after (what helps healing look its best)
Before
-
Arrive with clean skin in the treatment area
-
Avoid strong sun/sunbeds beforehand
-
Avoid AHA/BHA/retinoids for 24 hours before (unless advised otherwise)
After
-
Gentle cleansing + calming/barrier cream
-
Daily SPF (required) during the healing period
-
Avoid sauna, swimming pools and intense workouts for 24–48 hours
-
Do not pick scabs
-
Contact a doctor if you notice signs of infection (increasing pain, warmth, pus, fever)
Contraindications
-
Active infection/wounds
-
Keloid tendency
-
Recent heavy sun/sunbed exposure
-
Isotretinoin within the last 6–12 months
-
Pregnancy/breastfeeding (case-by-case)
-
Anticoagulants/coagulation disorders
Who is this treatment for?
This is for you if you:
-
have small fields of acne scarring (boxcar/rolling) and want a softer texture
-
have defined stretch marks and want them less noticeable
-
have small hypertrophic scars (non-keloid) that feel or look uneven
-
prefer a non-surgical approach built gradually and safely over time
FAQ
1) Does it hurt?
Most people describe brief, localized discomfort. It varies by area and sensitivity.
2) How long is downtime?
Usually 5–10 days with small scabs.
3) When will I see results?
The area often looks “cleaner” once scabs fall off naturally. Texture improvements typically build gradually over weeks and often best in a series.
4) How many sessions will I need?
It depends on scar/striae type, age and size. Many people benefit from more than one session.
5) Can I work as usual?
Many can, but you should be comfortable with visible micro-dots/scabs while healing.

Scars and stretch marks rarely disappear on their own—but they can look softer and less visible when we work precisely, conservatively, and over time. With Scar & Striae Remodel Therapy, we build improvement gradually—point by point, field by field.
