What can Stretch Mark Removal treatments accomplish?
Laser stretch mark removal Beverly Hills is highly effective for treating brightly colored marks because it significantly reduces the intensity of their color and reduces any inflammation in the area. Laser treatments stimulate the skin’s natural production of collagen and elastin to improve the overall tone and texture of the skin. To treat marks that are lighter in color and improve the texture of the skin, the fractional laser treatment may be a better option. While laser stretch mark removal may not completely erase every trace of every mark, it will significantly fade the appearance of stretch marks enough to produce significant improvements. Microneedling similarly improves the appearance of stretch marks, though not as effectively as laser treatments.
Is Stretch Mark Removal painful?
While most patients do not find the procedure painful, following a laser stretch mark removal treatment, you may experience minor redness and swelling, similar to a mild sunburn. This is completely normal and may last for a few days. Most patients are able to resume regular activity immediately after treatment.
