Does laser treatment work on older stretch marks?

Posted on 23 Jul, 2011

Many women who have had children suffer from stretch marks, mainly on the abdomen but also on the breasts, thighs, buttocks. Stretch marks are caused by fluctuations in weight, a change to the body which is inevitable during and after pregnancy.

Stretch marks can have a really negative effect on a person’s body image and self-esteem, but many people live with them without knowing that there is a solution available.

This problem can be effectively treated using laser technology, which when used in combination with microdermabrasion and ultrasound therapy, can drastically reduce the appearance of stretch marks.

It doesn’t even matter how old the stretch marks are, whether they first made an appearance last year or fifteen years ago. The treatment repairs the broken connective fibres within the skin – which is essentially what stretch marks are – and boosts collagen levels to help the skin repair and renew itself. It works the same way on any and all stretch marks, leaving you with younger-looking, stretch mark-free skin to be proud of.

You’ve lived with stretch marks for long enough – maybe it’s time to do something about them.
