Stretch mark removal is not just for women

Posted on 19 Nov, 2009

We often associate stretch marks with pregnancy and women. However, men can also develop stretch marks, usually as a result of sudden weight gain or weight loss- especially due to muscle building workouts. In men, stretch marks commonly occur at the joints of the arms and the abdomen.

Stretch mark removal for men and women

Many people who have stretch marks often feel a little embarrassed about them and are afraid of wearing clothes may make them noticeable to others. However, there is no longer any need to feel restricted, as laser stretch mark removal can make a big difference to their appearance.

How does stretch mark removal work?

There are generally three stages involved in stretch mark removal- microdermabrasion, laser therapy and ultrasound treatment.

Microdermabrasion encourages the renewal of new skin, and laser therapy encourages the growth of fresh skin cells and collagen. Collagen is a fibre that is responsible for the elasticity of the skin. With the growth in collagen, the natural elasticity of the skin starts to return.

Laser stretch mark removal can help to restore the look of your skin and restore your confidence.
