Skin Resurfacing Treatment (Stretch Marks)

Skin Resurfacing Treatment for Stretch Marks

Skin resurfacing treatments are usually performed for dealing with aging, acne, scars, wrinkles, and blotches. However, most clients prefer laser skin resurfacing for healing stretch marks and obtaining smooth glowing skin. The treatment could be great for both fitness influencers and women who have gone through childbirth. Skin resurfacing treatment is performed with the help of laser technology known as Laser Vaporization, Laser Peel, and Lasabrasion. All 3 of these procedures are similar in nature. However, these are employed differently to achieve desired results.

Laser skin resurfacing is deployed with different technologies that suit different client requirements and unique skin conditions. The details are as follows.

• Ablative Laser – Ablative laser technology uses a high-intensity focused laser beam to burn out the uppermost layer of skin and heat the layer beneath. This heating and burning triggers the natural healing response of your body and promotes collagen production. Collagen is a key component responsible for healing and smoothening our skin. This newly regenerated skin is healthier and tighter than the previously stretched and saggy skin. The ablative laser technology utilizes CO2 lasers Erbium lasers and a combination of both in specific cases.
• Non-Ablative Laser/Light Source/Intense Pulse Light (IPL) – The Light Sources method is similar to the ablative one but less aggressive and least invasive in nature. These are technically not lasers but still deliver similar results on mild skin conditions. This method is ideal for sun damage, birthmarks, hyperpigmentation, and mild scars and acne. These are typical cases where clients do not expect quick and drastic results. You may have to opt for multiple sessions to achieve complete success. Non-Ablative Laser is more subtle in nature and has a shorter recovery period as well.
• Fractional Laser Treatment – Instead of targeting a large area on your skin, fractional lasers work on a small area at one point in time and therefore, are great for reducing blemishes, hyperpigmentation, and even wrinkles. In this technology, the laser beam is broken into numerous tiny beams that work on a minuscule section of skin. You may experience slightly longer sessions and you might also have to opt for multiple sessions with the fractional laser method. However, you will also experience less discomfort and low downtimes. Fractional laser can be ablative or non-ablative depending on your condition and availability.
• Pulse-Dye Lasers – Pulse-Dye lasers are also called Vascular Lasers as these are utilized for treating skin issues connected to blood vessels. This procedure is best suited for individuals who have broken capillaries, redness, and rosacea. These lasers are non-ablative in nature and use intense yellow light to deal with the condition. These can also be quite useful for individuals who want to remove permanent tattoos.

Pre/Post Care with Laser Skin Resurfacing Treatment

• Pre-Treatment Care – Before opting for any type of Laser Skin Resurfacing, your first approach should be to consult experienced dermatologists at Skinlattice Gurugram. After checking your condition, you may be advised not to consume any medication at least 10 days before your session. This is because Laser Skin Resurfacing is a minimally invasive procedure and it may trigger certain immune responses in your body that could delay the procedure or cause some side effects.
• Post-Treatment Care – Laser Skin Resurfacing is an outpatient procedure and it does not require clients to stay overnight. However, the treatment is slightly painful and it requires administration of local anesthesia. Depending on the area of treatment, a session can last from 45 minutes to 2 hours. Following the treatment, clients are asked to cover the treated area with bandages and keep cleaning it 45- times a day. You may also need to use ice packs multiple times a day for at least 48 hours after the treatment. You can also experience slight stinging or itching for up to 72 hours. After 5-7 days, your skin will become dry and you can peel it off. Your newly healed skin will be lighter and supple but you must avoid direct contact of the treated skin with sunlight for at least 21 days.

• Inflammation, itching, and mild stinging
• Risk of skin infection in case of avoiding cleaning of the treatment area
