Body Treatments
Targeted treatments for body skin concerns – from stretch marks and pigmentation to body acne and
texture improvement.
Body skin concerns are just as valid as facial concerns, yet they often receive less attention in
dermatology. At ZARS, we offer targeted treatments for a range of body skin issues including stretch
marks, body acne (back, chest, shoulders), body pigmentation and uneven tone, rough or textured skin
on the arms, legs, or other areas, and keratosis pilaris (rough, bumpy skin).
These treatments use the
same medical-grade approach and conservative philosophy that defines our facial treatments.
WHO IT MAY SUIT
Body treatments may be suitable for individuals with stretch marks (from weight changes, pregnancy, or growth), body acne or post-acne marks, pigmentation or darkening on the body, rough or uneven skin texture, or keratosis pilaris or similar conditions. Treatment plans are customised based on the specific concern, body area, and skin type.
HOW IT’S APPROACHED AT ZARS
At ZARS, body treatments are assessed and planned with the same thoroughness as facial treatments.
Options may include chemical peels adapted for body skin, microneedling for stretch marks and scarring, topical prescription therapies, laser or light-based treatments where indicated, and comprehensive skin care guidance for affected areas.
Treatment parameters are adjusted for the thicker, more resilient nature of body skin while still respecting individual skin type and sensitivity.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Before: A consultation to assess the specific body concern, skin type, and treatment history. The area should be clean and free of any products.
During: Treatment varies by concern and modality. Sessions are performed in a private, comfortable clinical setting.
After: Aftercare instructions are provided specific to the treatment. Sun protection for treated areas is important. Follow-up sessions are scheduled as part of the treatment plan.
RESULTS & EXPECTATIONS
Body skin concerns often require patience and multiple treatment sessions.
Improvement is gradual and depends on the condition, its severity, and the chosen treatment approach.
Stretch marks, for example, can be significantly improved but may not be completely eliminated. Realistic expectations are always discussed.
FAQS
Can stretch marks be completely removed?
Stretch marks can be significantly improved in appearance but complete removal is not always achievable. Treatment focuses on reducing visibility and improving skin texture.
What treatments are available for body acne?
Body acne is treated with a combination of topical therapies, chemical peels, and lifestyle modifications. The approach depends on severity and location.
Are body treatments painful?
Most body treatments involve minimal discomfort. Topical numbing is applied when needed. Any discomfort is usually brief and manageable.
