Laser Treatment for Stretch Marks
Laser Stretch Mark Treatment for Clearer Skin with Smooth, Natural Texture
Millions of women have stretch marks, which occur normally as a result of puberty, pregnancy, hormonal changes and weight gain. This knowledge does little to alleviate the embarrassment felt by most women when these unsightly striations appear on their skins.
Until now there were few options for stretch mark treatments. Since the U.S. Food and Drug Administration cleared Palomar's fractional laser treatment for stretch marks, practitioners now have an excellent aesthetic solution for their clients.
Palomar's fractional non-ablative skin resurfacing laser minimizes the appearance of stretch marks with no downtime. The Lux1540 laser handpiece improves the unsightly color and skin texture associated with stretch marks, leaving clients with smoother, better-looking skin.
For stretch mark treatment, the Lux1540 handpiece delivers an array of high-precision microbeams to create deep, narrow columns of coagulation in the epidermis and dermis. This triggers a restorative natural healing process that creates healthy new tissue, including the deposition of new collagen.
