Lasers have been known for getting rid of many skin problems for many years. People decades ago may have had issues wanting to use laser therapy to get rid of imperfections with the face, body, and hair, but currently, more and more people have been brave and find it no problem to see a doctor for these skin issues through the use of lasers. Using a professional and reputable therapist and clinic can reassure anyone who is affected from these issues that in a matter of minutes, their ugly marks and scars will be gone.

The color and depth of stretch marks can be reduced through the use of laser therapy. Many times, a number of treatments will be necessary to get rid of most marks and help the skin to recover. Collagen and skin cell stimulation can rejuvenate the skin and bring it back to life through treatment.

Laser stretch mark removal has become a favored treatment by women who are susceptible to stretch marks as a result of pregnancy, and males who have exhibited drastic weight changes. In such cases, there's not enough collagen for natural skin renewal to occur. The fibers that keep skin together break down and the result are the reddish, brownish and purplish streaks that turn white as time goes by, becoming harder to eradicate when simply ignored.

A trained therapist will focus a beam of light on the affected area to disintegrate the scar tissue. The high-powered ultraviolet light that shines down gets rid of the scar tissue and it is replaced with newly formed skin cells and collagen. Patients have claimed that they have felt a pinching sensation during surgery. Some redness and tenderness may occur but will go away a few days after the surgery.

Just like with any other type of surgery, laser stretch mark removal has some known risks. Some of them have claimed to be scarring, bruising, blistering, swelling, and changes with the pigmentation; however, these are all expected to go away in time and the normal skin appearance should come back. When deciding to do laser therapy, know that you will have to pay much money and it would be wise to set aside for several sessions.
