REMOVAL OF STRIAE / STRETCH MARKS

The main causes of stretch marks (striae) are:

• pregnancy;
• rapid weight gain or loss;
• diseases of the endocrine system;
• gain of muscle mass.

Stretch marks aren’t painful or harmful to the health, but cause psychological discomfort, so laser removal of stretch marks is one of the most popular services at our Medical Center.

Effective fight against stretch marks

Alas, skin care products do not give the desired effect. The purpose of creams is to moisturize the skin, make it more elastic, but they cannot cope with streaks. The only effective method is laser resurfacing. The laser penetrates into damaged tissues and accelerates the processes of cell regeneration.

We use in our work innovative equipment – the Lumenis M22 platform. Thanks to this technology, we will help you to get rid from stretch marks in just 6 sessions!

Principle of operation

The device Lumenis M22 works on the principle of fractional photothermolysis. Penetrating into the deep layers of the skin, the laser beam destroys atrophied tissue. At the same time, surrounding healthy tissue remains intact. The process of collagen and elastin restoration starts in the cells, as a result of which the skin gradually becomes smooth and elastic.

Benefits of laser stretch mark removal

• High efficiency. The laser is adjusted so that it can penetrate to any depth, which makes it possible to remove even old and strongly marked striae.
• Universality. The Lumenis M22 platform works with any skin phototype.
• Safety. The wavelength of the laser is completely harmless for the patients.
• Comfort. During the procedure, the skin cools down, only warmth and a slight tingling sensation will be felt.

How is the procedure performed?

A cosmetic dermatologist examines the condition of the patient’s skin, determines its phototype and asks about your medical history. Then he adjusts the necessary parameters of the equipment and begins to treat the skin centimeter by centimeter. The procedure is comfortable for the patient and does not require anesthesia. Depending on the treated area, one session takes from 15 to 30 minutes.

After the procedure

Within 1-2 days after laser resurfacing, redness and slight swelling may occur. It is necessary to take medications recommended by a specialist. For the following 14 days you have to avoid unprotected sun, sauna, solarium and the beach. How many laser resurfacing sessions are needed? To achieve the results, it may take from 4 to 6 sessions with an interval of 1 month.

IMPORTANT! The older and lighter the stretch marks, the more sessions will be needed to get rid of them.
