Laser resurfacing of stretch marks

In comparison with the surgical method of solving the problem of stretch marks, the use of a laser is less traumatic, it implies a shorter rehabilitation period and a more democratic cost.

Carbon dioxide laser allows not only deep resurfacing, affecting the epidermis and partly the dermis, it also seals the vessels. The treated surface does not need to be bandaged and heals in a short time. This is ideal for old stretch marks.

Laser injury to scar tissue provokes active collagen synthesis and activates regenerative processes.

It may take several sessions to remove stretch marks with a laser, depending on the area and depth of the skin lesion.

The patient can apply for stretch marks resurfacing, regardless of the stage of the pathology and the duration of the period of its existence. Stretch marks can form on a wide variety of areas of the body. The most popular options are:

• face - in people who are prone to overweight.

Professional laser correction of stretch marks is most often required for people with dry skin type, genetically predisposed to collagen and elastane deficiency in the body.
