Advances in modern technology have resulted in the introduction of several new developments in the fields of science and medical treatment. These include laser treatment, one of the most effective and preferred method of removing stretch marks, and correcting other skin imperfections.
What are stretch marks?
Stretch marks are scars which appear on the skin in the form of noticeable, pink-coloured pigments. They are formed due to the skin being stretched for a long time period, and can be the result of weight reduction or sudden loss, but most often, stretch marks appear post-pregnancy.
Besides the stretching of the skin, stretch marks may also occur due to factors such as hormonal imbalance, diet or exercising. They are usually found in the region around the thighs, arms, breasts and legs, and in areas which have experienced sudden weight loss such as the stomach.
Individuals usually resort to the use of stretch mark removal creams. However, this method might not always yield the desired results, which is why it is advisable to opt for laser treatment.
How does laser treatment work?
Stretch marks do tend to get reduced over a period of time, but do not disappear completely. Laser therapy tears down the target cells without affecting the surrounding cells. This particular treatment is becoming popular day by day and has relatively few side effects.
For these reasons and many more, opting for laser treatment to get rid of stretch marks is one of the best choices you can make.
