Enerjet™ is the most recent technology to join the Cadogan Clinic's offering.
A stretchmark happens when skin is constantly stretched, and the dermis, is stretched, and tethered to underlying structures. Enerjet injects medications prescribed by the doctor at very high pressure under the skin. The high-pressure "blasts" off the scar from its moorings (the tethering's).
The resulting microcavity is instantly filled with a spacing medication. This can be un-crosslinked dilute hyaluronic acid at a specific concentration; hypertonic saline, or sometimes even both. Whilst one treatment cannot produce complete correction of the stretchmark, a demonstrable improvement gained is typically gained.
Treatment works by stimulating the body to produce its own collagen, and the improvement so produced is usually long term, in stretchmarks that would otherwise be difficult to correct. Enerjet treatment results in small, temporary bumps under the skin, but there is otherwise minimal downtime, is suitable for all skin types, and there are no needles involved.
