Laser Surgery Techniques Remove Stretch Marks
/Reasons for stretch marks vary. Women usually get stretch marks during their pregnancies. They most commonly appear on the stomach, but can also show up on chest, butt, arms and upper legs. Rapid growth spurts, weight gains or weight losses can also be causes for stretch marks. The severity of stretch marks is often due to your skin type. Your ethnic and hereditary background also aid in whether or not, and how severely, you will get stretch marks
Some creams can sufficiently lessen, and sometimes completely eliminate stretch marks, but there is no guarantee, especially if your stretch marks are more severe. Another more expensive, but more effective solution is laser surgery for stretch marks.
Lasers are so efficient in removing stretch marks, because it removes all the damage underneath the skin, while repairing broken blood vessels and skin. Stretch marks are the result of a lack of collagen. Laser surgery works to renew the growth of depleted collagen, which returns skin to its natural color and shape. This process is almost completely, if not 100% pain free, and is all done without the loss of blood, meaning there is no risk of infection.
Laser surgery isn’t all sugar and spice. Each individual body is different, meaning that some skin types may respond more quickly to the laser surgery removal, while some may take longer to react. The more sessions needed, the higher the cost. Age and color of the stretch marks determines the number of laser surgery sessions. The older and more faded your stretch marks become, the harder it is for the laser to pick them up. If your stretch marks are a fleshy color instead of a brownish red, the lasers can no longer pick them up. It takes an entirely different solution to remove those stretch marks, called pulsed laser dye.
You may be able to treat stretch marks with a bottle of stretch removal cream from a pharmacy. Those creams do not have the ability to heal damage done under the skin, only damage done on top. That is why laser surgery may be the best choice for many men and women. It’s up to you to weigh the pros and cons of laser surgery for stretch marks.
