Laser treatments focus on stimulating skin production under the
scar tissue to facilitate fibroblast and collagen development. This reduces
the redness of skin and changes the skin color pigmentation to more closely
resemble the skin color surrounding the stretch marks. This form of treatment
does not actually remove the scars; it fades them. It is more effective on
scars in the early stage of development that may have a red or brown appearance.
Laser treatment for stretch marks penetrates the deeper levels of the skin
which produce collagen and is a distinguishing factor from cosmetic or topical
style treatments which only target the top layers of skin.
It is generally a painless procedure and does not require recuperative time
in a hospital.
Laser treatment for stretch marks usually requires several treatment sessions
depending on the severity of the condition.
Individual cost of laser stretch mark removal treatments vary but usually
cost $200 or more per session. It is recommended you seek the advice of a
qualified professional for a more accurate determination of cost and to ascertain
whether laser treatment for stretch marks is suitable for your condition.
