Information of the laser treatment for stretch marks
Laser treatments for stretch marks work by repairing the collagen layer of the skin. Collagen is a vital component of healthy skin, so you should aim to promote the production of new collagen to rejuvenate your skin. During pregnancy or excessive weight gain, the collagen layer of the skin breaks rapidly thereby causing the skin to stretch. Laser treatment works by improving the appearance of the stretched look of the skin.
how to get rid of stretch marks?
The formation of stretch marks begins with a breakdown of collagen located on the second layer of the skin known as dermis. Seventy five percent of the skin is made up of collagen, so when the production of collagen slows down, your skin becomes saggy and unhealthy-looking. Collagen depletion or damage can result to the occurrence of wrinkles, fine lines, premature-aging and stretch marks. While the breakdown in collagen layer gives your skin its stretched look, it can be cured through laser treatments.
Laser treatments for stretch marks are non-invasive, hence making it safe, quick and painless. The term “laser” stands for light amplification through the emission of radiation. To reduce the appearance of get rid of stretch marks, a concentrated amount of laser is used for removing extremely thin layers of your skin. This causes the skin to rejuvenate and form new healthy skin. Prior to the procedure, your skin is cleansed with a special cleansing agent to remove the oil and dirt. During the course of the treatment, you will feel like you are repeatedly being pinched or stuck with a needle. But generally, most patients find laser treatment very tolerable, except for those who have lower pain threshold.
Patients who respond best to laser treatments are those with fair skin complexion and those with fresh or purplish stretch marks. Ironically, fresh and dark skin marks are easier to treat than old and pale ones. Mature stretch marks may not respond too well to treatment, but visible streaks may be less obvious.
