Stretch marks are subcutaneous tissue cracking due to strong skin stretching, rapidly growing, increasing weight during pregnancy or due to long-term application of certain medications (anabolic steroids, oral or spreadable glucocorticosteroids). In most cases stretch marks appear in the breasts, thighs, buttocks or abdominal skin. At first they look like pink longitudinal thinning of the skin, which, over time, become lighter and turn white. Stretch marks are frequent; it is believed that about 70 percent of women and 40 percent of men have them.
The Innovative Dermatology Center for stretch marks treatment and reduction uses MedArt® fractional CO2 laser. It allows performing a fractional photothermolysis, during which stimulation of epidermis renewal and collagen fibre reorganization (remodelling). Due to that reduces the area of stretch marks, they become less visible. The best effect we can expect, if treatment is started early, when stretch marks are still pink.
