Everything You Need to Know About Laser Stretch Mark TreatmentHow It Works Laser stretch mark treatment works by pointing a laser beam at the affected areas. Old skin is removed, new skin cell growth is stimulated, and new skin grows in place of the old skin. Recent studies have shown that laser stretch mark treatment stimulates the growth of collagen. Laser treatment might sound painful but most patients only have a tingling feeling when the laser is applied and few patients require an anesthetic. The Best Candidates for Laser Stretch Mark Treatment In order to see results, at least five or six sessions of laser stretch mark treatment are necessary. People who have red, purple, or brown stretch marks are the best candidates for laser treatment. The longer you have had your stretch marks, the harder they will be to remove. If your stretch marks are a silver-white color, it means you have had them a long time and laser treatment won't be of help to you. People with a fair complexion and shallow scars see the best results with laser treatment. The Costs and Long-Term Results Laser stretch mark treatment can be very effective but it is also expensive. In order to find out exactly how much it costs, you need to contact your nearest cosmetic dermatologist who specializes in laser treatment. It generally costs around $200 per treatment. Prior to and after your laser stretch mark treatments, your doctor may prescribe you a steroid cream to apply to the affected area. These creams can work with the laser treatment to improve the appearance of your skin. The results of laser stretch mark treatments are not always immediate. Studies have shown that around 3 to 6 months after laser treatments, the appearance of your stretch marks will continue to improve. Even people who have little initial improvement sometimes see vast improvement at their six month check-ups. Make no mistake about it. There is no "perfect" treatment for stretch marks since all treatments are great for some people yet do nothing for others. However, laser stretch mark treatment has given many people results and the only way to know if you would benefit from it is to try it. Now that you are armed with this information, talk to your nearest cosmetic dermatologist to discuss whether laser stretch mark treatment is right for you. |
