Laser Stretch Mark Removal Before And After

When you are considering laser stretch mark removal before and after pictures will show you when you have had the outcome you were in search of. The best way to accomplish this is to take a picture of the stretch marks before the procedure then when you have healed. There ought to be a marked difference in their appearance.

Laser removal of stretch marks was deemed safe by the FDA back in 2002. As with every surgery one can find risks and unwanted side effects involved and you should always get your procedure performed by a qualified professional. Make sure the surgeon you select has earned board certification and is prepared to show you laser stretch mark removal before and after photographs of clients they may have had in the past. If they are unwilling to show these pictures, then proceed to someone who will.

Stretch marks occur on the skin due to the skin being over-stretched for some length of time. Small tears in the elastin and collagen fibers on the skin is the cause. These elastin and collagen fibers just can’t keep up with the stretching out of the skin and when torn have a difficult time repairing themselves. In reality, they usually do not and you are left with stretch marks.

In the beginning, they may be red or purple in color and ultimately they do fade to white, as with every other scar on your body. They will often even have a silvery sheen to them. After you have them, they are often difficult to get rid of and might not completely disappear, so avoidance is best. If that doesn’t do the trick, you might contemplate having some laser surgery to reduce their appearance.

How it works is, the laser is passed over the area and pulsed several times. As the laser works, it stimulates the elastin and collagen fibers to produce more, and they will fill in the areas and help shrink the prevailing scars as well.

Some women decide to try lotions and creams called body butter that basically do the same task. Increased output of collagen and elastin fibers is key. Healthy skin does that by itself and if you improve the health of the skin with diet, exercise and also the use of these creams, you may find you do not need the laser treatments.

Sometimes the topical creams are just not enough though, and there’s a need for further exploration to fix the scar. That is where the surgeon comes in. One of the best methods to find a surgeon is to ask the people you already know for testimonials and referrals. Maybe someone you know has received great results with this same kind of procedure. If so, ask them as to what they went through then call for the first appointment.

The surgeon should go over all of your options, explain to you laser stretch mark removal before and after images and then you can make your informed decision as to what is right for your needs.
