Is laser stretch mark removal effective?

There are various treatments for removing stretch marks, but the most effective solution is laser therapy. Modern laser devices affect the deep layers of the skin, triggering self-repair processes. This makes laser treatments stand out for their high effectiveness. Laser stretch mark removal is unquestionably the best way to overcome the flaws and restore smoothness and proper skin tone!

Stretch marks and lasers

Stretch marks are a problem for many people. Unsightly lines on the skin appear due to excessive stretching of collagen fibers. Such changes are related to physiological growth, excessive weight gain, and the secretion of certain hormones, including cortisol. Stretch marks are formed:

  • In adolescence, when we are growing rapidly,
  • During pregnancy, when the skin on the abdomen (and not only) stretches for 9 months,
  • As a result of rapid weight gain,
  • During menopause, when hormonal fluctuations occur.

The direct cause of stretch marks is the weakening of elastic fibers and impaired production of collagen and elastin – skin-building proteins responsible for its elasticity and tone. When they are damaged, they break, which can be seen on the surface of the skin in the form of stretch marks.

Laser removal of stretch marks is effective because it acts on the cause of the problem. The state-of-the-art Alma PicoClair lasers used in our clinics, produce beams of light that stimulate the skin to rebuild protein structures, resulting in a marked superficial improvement. The iPixel lasers available at Beauty Skin work in a similar way, inducing microdamage that stimulates skin tissues to self-renew. For laser stretch mark removal, we also use the Emerge laser, which produces microbeams of light that destroy cellular deposits, allowing new, healthy tissue to form.

Choosing the right laser treatment for stretch mark removal is always individual. When adapting a particular therapeutic method to a patient, we take into account important details:

  • Whether the stretch marks are fresh,
  • How extensive and deep the changes are,
  • What condition the skin is in,
  • Whether there are no contraindications to perform a particular procedure,
  • What area of the body requires therapy (abdomen, thighs, breasts, arms, etc.),
  • What are the expectations of the treatment.

Removal of stretch marks with laser – the earlier, the better

The earlier we start removing stretch marks, the better. The easiest way to remove stretch marks is fresh, in the first stage of formation. Newly formed stretch marks are usually shallowly located, accompanied by swelling and inflammation. They resemble strong or red spindly welts, at the site of which there is an itching and burning sensation. Phase I of stretch mark formation lasts for about six months, and this is when it is best to start laser therapy.

 

However, not everyone can benefit from aesthetic medicine treatments right away. Contraindications to laser stretch mark removal include pregnancy and breastfeeding. The procedures are also not performed on people with active skin diseases and infections. In such cases, it is necessary to wait, and unfortunately, time does not play in our favor here. Old stretch marks, which have progressed to Phase II, the so-called “stretch marks”. Atrophic phase, they have a pearly-white tint. They are more difficult to remove than fresh stretch marks. They occur deeper in the skin and can be felt on the skin’s surface as depressions. They can be removed by laser, although more treatments are needed for this. Nevertheless, starting laser therapy is not worth delaying. The treatments are more effective the earlier they are performed.

Laser removal of stretch marks – effects

All stretch mark removal lasers at Beauty Skin are characterized by high efficiency. These are certified devices with proven performance. The appropriate laser is selected individually for patients, taking into account the duration, extent and depth of stretch marks.

Stretch mark removal with fractional lasers such as the iPixel, Emerge and picosecond Alma PicoClair only affect the treatment area, leaving the surrounding tissue and epidermis intact. This makes the laser stretch mark removal at Beauty Skin not only precisely targeting the skin’s flaws, but also non-invasive and safe. With these devices, the skin is stimulated to self-renew, causing it to thicken and become more elastic, leading to a reduction in stretch marks.

A therapeutic plan must be followed to achieve the full result. How many sessions it will consist of – it depends on individual factors. In any case, laser stretch mark removal is the most effective method to combat unsightly mementos of pregnancy or puberty.
