Laser Stretch Mark Reduction
Laser Stretch Mark Reduction
Laser Stretch Mark Reduction in Delray Beach, FL
Stretch marks are formed when the skin is stretched rapidly and the underlying tissues are pulled beyond their limits, causing the dermis (middle layer of skin) to tear. This can happen due to various reasons such as rapid weight gain/loss, pregnancy, puberty, and bodybuilding.
At Dash Medical Spa, in Delray Beach, we utilize laser technology to help minimize stretch marks. The stretch marks are never completely erased, but we can treat the area to drastically improve the appearance of the skin, making the stretch marks nearly invisible.
How Does Laser Stretch Mark Reduction Work?
- Laser stretch mark reduction works by using focused laser energy to target the affected areas of the skin. The energy from the laser is absorbed by the skin, which stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, two proteins that help the skin to heal and regenerate.
- As the skin heals, the appearance of the stretch marks is reduced, and the skin becomes smoother and more even-toned. Multiple sessions may be needed for optimal results.
- Results can vary depending on factors such as the age and severity of the stretch marks. To determine if you are a good candidate for this treatment, a consultation and skin evaluation are necessary.
