About laser treatment of stretch marks
Stretch marks are scars that form due to rapid enlargement or shrinking of the skin. The quick change in weight or size causes fibers in your skin to tear. As they heal, scars form. Stretch marks typically appear on the upper arm, abdomen, buttocks, hips, and thighs.
Candela CO2Re fractional laser triggers collagen production in the skin, which helps smooth out the raised scars of stretch marks. Laser treatment is more successful on newer stretch marks. The red and pink stretch marks indicate working blood vessels in the skin, which allow for quicker healing after a laser treatment.
During the treatment, we use an anesthetic to make you feel comfortable.
Before the procedure, your doctor will provide you with a consultation where you both discuss the results you are trying to achieve, the treatment itself, and the healing process. Laser treatment in the Baltic Dermatology clinic is performed exclusively by highly qualified doctors with experience in the field.
