How does stretch mark removal treatment work?

Stretch marks are extremely common among men and women, occurring as a result of pregnancy or significant and sudden weight gain. While many people can get away without stretch marks for their whole lives, many people cannot and very visible or extensive stretch marks can cause serious emotional distress and lack of self-esteem. For those people, it is time to throw away those creams, gels and oils that promised so much but delivered so little, and try laser stretch mark treatments available in cosmetic surgery clinics.

One important thing to remember, as is the case with any non-surgical laser treatment, is that it should be carried out by an experienced and qualified professional at a clinic that is registered with and audited by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). Starting your search for a provider based on these two things will give you the best start in finding a reputable one that will offer an effective stretch mark treatment for you. Only pick the stretch mark treatment that has been approved for use by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), as this will indicate to you just how effective the treatment can be, and more importantly that it is safe for use.

Laser treatments for the removal of stretch marks works when a high intensity fractional pulse light is passed over the area or areas being treated and these pulses of light target the scar tissue. The intensity of the laser light serves to break down the scar tissue and encourage the growth of new, fresh, healthy tissue. This process is proven to lessen the appearance of stretch marks and other scars and smooth the skin in the process, leaving the patient with a smoother and more even skin tone and complexion.

The treatment is safe for cosmetic use anywhere on the face or body where a scar or stretch marks are visible, but it is essential that it is always carried out by a trained and experienced aesthetic practitioner or nurse, at a CQC registered cosmetic surgery clinic. The effectiveness of this stretch mark treatment is dependent on the extent of the scarring, the patient's age and the condition of the skin, but a huge percentage of those who have undergone the non-invasive, non-surgical procedure have reported a significant reduction in the visibility of their stretch marks or scars. The treatment tends to only be recommended to those who have reached a stable weight which they are happy with, and to women who don't plan to have any more children.
