Stretch Mark Laser Removal: Why Laser Treatments Work Best

When it comes to getting rid of stretch marks, no cream can work wonders. Lasers, on the other hand, are all the rage these days. They are used in numerous applications, such as tightening the skin, zapping away veins with endovenous laser therapy and the ever-popular laser hair removal. It’s little wonder why time and time again, laser treatments have proven to be best non-surgical treatment option for stretch marks. If you’re wondering how stretch mark laser removal works, we’re here to explain.

What Causes Stretch Marks?

Stretch marks form when the skin is tugged or stretched continuously; this usually happens when someone gains weight rapidly, or during pregnancy. The dermis (middle layer of the skin) is ripped apart, leaving some rather unsightly lower skin layers and blood vessels exposed.

Stretch marks, as annoying as they can be, are not uncommon. Out of every 10 pregnant women, nine are likely to develop them in their third trimester. These red and white lines also feature commonly among adolescents during their growth spurts, as well as bodybuilders and other people who may gain considerable body mass rather too quickly.

How Stretch Mark Laser Removal Works

Laser treatments come in a fascinatingly wide variety of options. Different skin conditions are targeted in different ways using devices that produce unique temperatures and light wavelengths.

For stretch mark laser removal to be more effective, a few laser types are used, including non-ablative fractional lasers, KTP and pulsed dye. Though these lasers work in much the same way (by deeply stimulating collagen and elastin production to help reduce the appearance of the patient’s stretch marks), one device may be better suited to a certain type of stretch mark than another.

Pulsed dye and KTP lasers are typically recommended for removing newly formed marks that still look purple or red in color. These lasers work by stimulating the synthesis of collagen and eliminating the damaged blood vessels showing through the skin. In this way, they effectively erase the deep-colored stretch marks without any effect on the surrounding areas.

Stretch mark laser removal with a fractional non-ablative laser is best suited for older stretch marks that are silver or white in color. They work by boosting collagen production, which helps improve the skin’s elasticity, tone and texture.

One of the most important steps you can take when considering stretch mark treatment or any kind of scar therapy in Williamsville is finding the right dermatologist in Buffalo NY.
