You will often hear that stretch marks can be completely removed, but this is not true. Modern techniques can reduce and make them less visible.
The laser treatment efficiently reduces the appearance of stretch marks.
The “Diva” Clinic’s experts in aesthetic surgery recommend Fractional ER: Yag laser as effective treatment of white (older) stretch marks. The laser beam encourages the skin to produce NEW collagen and elastin, without affecting the surrounding tissue, which makes the skin smoother, firmer and more elastic after treatment.
Fractional laser beam makes microscopic wounds deep in the skin, exactly where stretch marks are created allowing the surface tissue to regenerate within 24 hours, while at the same time stimulating the formation of elastin and collagen in the deeper skin layers. Gently skin peel by laser additionally diminishes the visibility of stretch marks.
In this way, the thickening of the skin is achieved in places where stretch marks are located – where it has become thinner. During series of treatments that last 2 to 4 months, stretch marks are reduced 50% to 60% (which all depends on the skin type, the patient’s age and health in general, as well as the type of stretch marks).
It is not recommended tanning of the treated region between treatments.
The “Diva” Clinic’s experts in aesthetic surgery recommend D light SR and Lumecca laser for treating pink or red (young) stretch marks. This laser eliminates 70% – 90%of pink / red stretch marks and that is why it is important to start treatment as soon as they occur.
The procedure for removing stretch marks with an ER: Yag laser, used by experts in plastic surgery and dermatology, is:
These are all the reasons why patients choose this treatment for reducing stretch marks.
During the laser treatment we are using forced air cooling system, so there is no overheating or pain during the treatment. The patient will feel mild heat and burning sensation in the skin, but everything disappears within 24 hours. And this is why no additional therapy is required after the procedure. The treatment itself lasts for about half an hour.
Usually,2 to 4 treatments are needed, and sessions are 4 to 6 weeks apart. The exact number of treatments depends on skin type and thickness, as well as on the width of stretch marks. The full effect is visible 2 months after the last treatment.
NOTE:
Whether this procedure is the right choice for a particular skin type and condition will be assessed by a specialist doctor during free consultations, and according to that, they will suggest an appropriate procedure. The number of treatments needed is individual and depends on several factors.
The results of the procedure can vary from patient to patient, and this is influenced by several factors including genetics, hormonal status, and the lifestyle of each individual.
