Stretch marks are pronounced lines / streaks that appear on the abdomen, breasts, hips, buttocks or other places on the body. They’re common in pregnant women, especially during the last trimester. Stretch marks aren’t painful or harmful, but some people don’t like the way they make their skin look.
Stretch mark reduction
Stretch marks don’t require treatment. They often fade over time, with or without treatment. They may never disappear completely.
What causes stretch marks?
When your skin rapidly stretches or shrinks, it causes the elastin and collagen in your skin to break. Elastin’s main role is to allow your skin to stretch. Collagen’s main role is to provide structure, strength and support to your skin. As your skin heals, stretch marks appear in areas where elastin breaks.
Treatment of stretchmarks:
Laser skin resurfacing
Laser skin resurfacing is a type of surgery. Your healthcare provider directs short, concentrated, pulsating beams of light on your stretch marks. The laser removes layers of your skin very precisely, which stimulates the growth of new collagen fibers to create smoother skin.
You should see an immediate difference after treatment. Your skin may continue to improve for up to a year, and the improvement may last for several years.
