Laser Skin Treatments for Stretch Marks
Stretch marks usually occur on pregnant women as their belly is stretched and then after delivering their stomachs reduce in size. A stretch mark is basically a scar which has occurred from the excessive stretching of the skin as this area becomes discoloured. These often look like lines which are red in colour. Also, many men and women that undergo rapid weight loss can get stretch marks as well. Most people that have stretch marks are often embarrassed by the sight of them and stay covered up. The effects of stretch marks on women can have a profound impact psychologically as a constant reminder of their body before and after pregnancy. Although many effective laser skin treatments exist to help treat stretch marks, it is important to note that a laser does not remove them completely and is generally used to help minimise the colour and consistency of stretch marks.

1
Use Fractional Laser Technique:
Breaking down the texture, colour and consistency through the use of a Fractional Laser is considered as an effective treatment for reducing the visibility of stretch marks on the body. The laser basically removes the scarring and helps promote the development of healthy skin tissue. A patient is required to have at least four treatments before seeing noticeable results. -
2
Laser Skin Tightening:
A new treatment which has been found to be effective in treating or in other words reducing the visibility of stretch marks on the body is Laser Skin Tightening. This procedure tightens the collagen layer inside the skin to help minimise the appearance of stretch marks. By tightening the skin, stretch marks can be reduced significantly. -
3
Laser Resurfacing:
Laser Resurfacing is another technique for reducing the appearance of stretch marks on the body. The laser resurfaces the general area of the stretch mark to help reduce the texture and colour on the skin. This technique is effective at tightening the skin and reducing wrinkles. -
4
Laser Rejuvenation:
To help encourage the body’s natural ability to heal, Laser Rejuvenation is a good way to help with those suffering from unsightly stretch marks. The laser triggers the layers in skin to begin their natural healing to help with the discoloured areas on the body. Laser Rejuvenation helps tighten the skin and has very little discomfort for the patient. -
5
Pulsed Dye Laser:
To help reduce the visibility of stretch marks on the body a Pulsed Dye Laser can also have a significant impact. This technique is considered an effective method as the laser uses pulses which can be used on specific stretch marks that a patient might find to be more visible than others.
