Rewriting Your
Skin’s Story

Scars and stretch marks are reminders of healing, growth, and change — but they don’t have to define your skin forever.

At NJ Vein Care and Aesthetics Center in Clifton, New Jersey, we use advanced Icon™ laser technology to visibly reduce scars and stretch marks without surgery or prolonged downtime. Scars form when your body produces collagen quickly to close a wound, prioritizing strength over smoothness. This rapid repair process leaves collagen arranged in uneven patterns, which creates visible differences in texture and tone.

Stretch marks are a type of scar that develop when skin stretches faster than it can adapt, such as during pregnancy, weight changes, or growth spurts. Our treatments work by targeting disorganized collagen beneath the surface of the skin. By stimulating controlled collagen remodeling, we help your skin rebuild itself in a smoother, more uniform way. Over time, treated areas look clearer, healthier, and more like your natural skin.

How We Treat Scars & Stretch Marks

At NJ Vein Care and Aesthetics Center, we primarily use the 1540 fractional nonablative Icon laser by Cynosure® to treat most scars and stretch marks.

This advanced laser delivers precise heat into the dermis without damaging the surface of your skin. The heat breaks up hardened, disordered collagen fibers that give scars their uneven appearance. At the same time, it stimulates your body to produce fresh, healthy collagen in a more organized structure. As your skin remodels itself over the following weeks, texture becomes smoother and tone becomes more even.

We may also incorporate the Procell Microchannelling system, which uses tiny micro-needles to create controlled stimulation and enhance collagen production. Growth factors are applied to support deeper skin regeneration and healing. After a series of three to five treatments, most patients notice significant improvement with minimal discomfort and little to no downtime.

Making an appointment at this office was easy and painless. The office staff was courteous, kind, and helpful. Outgoing and made my visit a great experience. Dr. Nackman was great, personable, did the sonogram of my legs and gave me answers right then and there followed up with any suggestions needed. Very professional and I would recommend this office and this doctor if you are looking for a Vascular Surgeon/Specialist.
