Removal of stretch marks with laser

The most effective method for removing stretch marks throughout the world is recognized as procedures using lasers, based on the principle of fractional photothermolysis, which triggers the mechanism of natural tissue repair with the formation of new collagen, without damaging the integrity of the epidermis.

More information about laser procedures for removing stretch marks in our clinic can be found in the article “REMOVING STREAMS AND STRETCH MARKS WITH LASER.”

For laser treatment of stretch marks, our clinic successfully uses several modern professional lasers:

• fractional non-ablative (without damaging the skin) erbium laser Palomar Lux1540 (Palomar Medical Technologies, USA), delivering effects at a depth of 1-2 mm.
• infrared laser Palomar DeepIR (Palomar Medical Technologies, USA) performing fractional thermolifting of the skin at a depth of up to 6 mm.
• neodymium laser Fotona Nd:Yag (Fotona Medical Technologies, Slovenia) at a depth of up to 8 mm.
• erbium ablative laser Fotona Er:Yag (Fotona Medical Technologies, Slovenia) - fractional resurfacing procedures to reduce the skin flap in cases of severe sagging skin in conditions of widespread stretch marks.

The main advantages of such procedures are visible results after the first session, painlessness, absence of a rehabilitation period, significant visible skin rejuvenation and absolute safety.

To date, there are no analogues of such procedures for the treatment of stretch marks in terms of the effectiveness of the result.

Cream for stretch marks.

Prepare natural homemade cream with mumiyo. This cream is suitable for treating stretch marks and small scars on the skin. You need to prepare the cream like this: dissolve 1 gram of mumiyo in a teaspoon of boiled water. Mix with 1 tube (80-100 grams) of baby cream and place everything in a sterile jar. You need to rub the cream into problem areas once a day, and store the product in the refrigerator. If the stretch marks are fresh, they will disappear almost completely and the skin will become elastic. And to prevent stretch marks, do a daily light massage of the abdomen and thighs with a special mixture - 1 tablespoon of almond, jojoba or wheat germ oil with 3 drops of petitgrain or neroli oil.

Peels for stretch marks.

You can smooth out stretch marks using peelings.

To prepare fruit peeling cream you will need natural yogurt (150 ml), almond oil (1 tablespoon), grated zest of one lemon. The lemon must be washed and the zest removed from it using a fine grater. Peeling should be applied to stretch marks for 20 minutes. Before washing off the cream, massage your skin. Do this peeling twice a week. Removal of stretch marks with this cream is carried out gently and without injury.

Another peeling can be prepared from 1 avocado, 2 tbsp. cosmetic clay, 2 tbsp. oatmeal and 1 tbsp. wheat germ oils. Removal and prevention of stretch marks with such a peeling cream must be carried out regularly. It is just like the first one, very effective. To prepare the cream, puree the avocado in a blender, add cosmetic clay and oatmeal, dilute with sprouted wheat oil to obtain a creamy consistency. This cream should be applied to problem areas, left for a while to absorb, and then rinsed off with water. The effect is noticeable only after a month, but the result of using such peels is quite durable.

Injection techniques ↑

Plasma therapy

Plasma therapy involves the subcutaneous injection of specially prepared blood plasma from the patient himself. It is known and loved by many as an effective way to rejuvenate facial skin and stimulate hair growth. However, this method is also successfully used to combat body skin imperfections: stretch marks, scars, sagging, cellulite.

Plasma accelerates skin renewal processes, as it is very rich in amino acids, mineral elements (potassium, magnesium, zinc, iron, calcium, etc.), peptides and vitamins B, C, A, D, E, K, necessary for life. cells.

The technique is most effective for fresh red stretch marks, as well as during a course of laser resurfacing to stimulate and accelerate skin healing processes.
The course depends on the age of stretch marks, their severity and biological response, which is individual in each case. Pros:

Minuses:

Mesotherapy

Just as in the case of plasma therapy, we know mesotherapy as a proven technique for solving aesthetic problems of facial skin and hair. However, now the cosmetology market offers a wide range of injectable preparations for working with body skin imperfections.

The procedure involves the subcutaneous administration of individually selected drugs, which may include vitamins, enzymes, hyaluronic acid, collagen, amino acids, plant extracts, peptides, etc.
They accelerate regeneration processes, moisturize, tighten and strengthen the skin. Mesotherapy works best to get rid of fresh stretch marks, but it can also make old ones less pronounced. Mesotherapy is not as effective as hardware techniques, but can be an excellent adjuvant in an integrated approach. Pros:

Minuses:

Contour plastic

Contouring using hyaluronic acid fillers is rarely used in the treatment of stretch marks due to the high cost and short-lived effect.
Subcutaneous injection of hyaluronic gel only reduces the depth of stretch marks and does not affect their width or color at all. However, contour plastic surgery also has a huge advantage - it is the only technique that allows you to 100% even out the skin texture in the first (and often the only!) session. Pros:

Minuses:

Dandelion and aloe cream for stretch marks.

To prepare the cream you need 100 grams of fresh or frozen dandelion leaves, 75 grams of olive oil, several aloe vera leaves or 1 tsp. aloe juice and oatmeal (to give the composition viscosity). Place dandelion leaves, olive oil and aloe leaves, cut into slices, into a blender and smash until smooth. Add oatmeal to the resulting slurry until the mixture becomes creamy. This paste should be applied directly to the areas of the skin where there are stretch marks, left for a while, then rinsed with warm water. Keep refrigerated. Apply the cream morning and evening. The cream is good for a week, then make it fresh. Use this cream until the stretch marks disappear completely. No one will believe that you had them!

Cost of laser resurfacing of stretch marks

In Moscow, laser resurfacing of stretch marks costs an average of about 5,000 rubles. Prices depend on the depth and size of the skin defect, location, type of laser used, and number of procedures. At the International Hemostasis Clinic, prices for the procedure are the most conservative, so every client can use the professional services of a cosmetologist.

Before peeling, you must consult a doctor. The most common service is chemical peeling of the face, but we also perform the procedure in the back area as part of a comprehensive therapy aimed at improving the quality of the skin. Peeling can be performed on the décolleté area. And, of course, intimate chemical peeling is very popular. We use Ultraceuticals and ME Line peelings on the face and body; for the intimate area, we use a special ME Line Intimate peeling for delicate areas. The cost of a back/décolleté peel varies from patient to patient – ​​everyone needs a different area treated. The price starts from 4,900 rubles.

After a month, you need to add 0.5 liters to the resulting mixture. boiled water. This composition should be used to wipe stretch marks on the skin 2 times a day - morning and evening for a month. Stretch marks will become paler, many of them will disappear almost completely.

Why do stretch marks form?

Stretch marks, defects in the deep layers of the skin that appear as unsightly white or red stripes, affect almost 70% of women and 40% of men. More often they form on the abdomen, bust, hips, buttocks, shoulder girdle and back.

Stretch marks occur due to the tearing of collagen and elastin fibers when the skin is subjected to excessive stretching over a period of time, such as in pregnant women, overweight people, bodybuilders or people who overuse exercise in the gym, and in teenagers during very fast growth.

The second reason for the appearance of stretch marks is weakening of the fibers as a result of hormonal imbalances, mainly due to excessive production of cortisol and estrogen. Most often, stretch marks form when both of these reasons are present. The tendency to develop stretch marks is, unfortunately, hereditary.
