There has reciently been a development for the treatment of stretch marks, and I'm not talking about some wonder cream that's a bit thick and smells bad.
Laser stretch mark removal has for a long time been the hope for treating stretch marks and the technology is now advancing more and more, the latest new hope is called a Fractional Laser, the laser is moved over the skin where your stretch marks are, and this causes tissue damage at the microscopic level inside the middle layer of your skin, where the damage to your skin is located, the "stretch mark".
This then stimulates your skins own healing process into action again and the skin trys to heal itself more than it has done naturaly when the stretch marks first appeared.
This will result in actual improvement in the stretch marks as they will fill in and look and feel much more like your normal skin.
Stretch Mark Removal: Too good to be true?
Maybe... If you're expecting to have perfect faultless skin where your stretch marks are now.
But if your like the majority of us who've been - "rubbing in every cream that's come out and had no improvement!" - a 75% improvement in our stretch marks is just what we've been waiting for!
The fraxel skin laser doesn't just reduce redness as previous lasers used to, this laser actually stimulates the skins own healing process to get to work on the stretch marks from the inside and it dosn't matter if your stretch marks are old or new.
While this web site is here to inform you of this new treatment, as with any cosmetic treatment please get the advise of a qualified doctor before having any treatment done.
What are stretch marks?
Stretch marks start out as streaks on the skin, characterized by a glossy surface and thin skin on top. Over the passage of time, these become whitish and resemble scars.
How do stretch marks form?
In scientific terms, stretch marks are known as striae. These stretch marks develop when the skin gets stretched more than normal. This usually happens during weight fluctuations, sudden growth or pregnancy.
Certain medicines, steroids and hormones can also result in such stretch marks. The skin begins to expand very fast and this stretches the skin resulting in tears on the deeper layers.
