Laser Stretch Mark Removal Information

Stretch marks are an issue that many women have to deal with during their lifetime. These vividly pink stripes or streaks of scar tissue, also known as "Striae Gravidarum" can affect women during puberty or pregnancy (or if they gain a great deal of weight in a short period of time).  

They most commonly occur on stomach, hips, breasts, and thighs. Most women wish they did not have stretch marks, and one of the treatments that women turn to for this purpose is laser stretch mark removal. When stretch marks first appear, they range from a deep pink to red to even a maroon color. With time, they begin to fade.  

Eventually, they fade to whitish or scar-like color, and at this point, they are much more difficult to remove. The time to treat them is when they first appear and have pink coloration. Laser stretch mark removal on fresh stretch marks generally show approximately a 20% to 50% improvement.  

The treatments are not advised for women with older, lighter stretch marks (because it will probably be a waste of time and money) or for women with darker skin (as any laser treatments can cause unwanted hyper-pigmentation of the skin). Laser stretch mark removal takes more than one session to fully work. 

To see optimal results, women will usually have to book several laser treatments, which may last anywhere from 15 minutes up to an hour, depending on the area to be treated. These sessions are not inexpensive, either! Each appointment will easily cost hundreds of dollars. For some women, however, the improvement is well worth their time and money.
