Treatments to eliminate stretch marks
Stretch marks are a blemish that occurs when the skin, after a period of intense growth, does not regain its original shapeand affects women more than men. In fact, during pregnancy, the female body is exposed to significant skin stretches that cause the skin to tear. Stretch marks are scars on the epidermis.
Can stretch marks be removed? White stretch marks can be greatly reduced. Being scars, however, absolute removal is not possible because the skin tissues are now damaged. On the other hand, the situation is different for the newer red or purplish stretch marks: in this case, total elimination can be achieved.
Treatments for old and white stretch marks
Although, as anticipated, it is not possible to eliminate the white stretch marks in an absolute way, the signs are still significantly reduced, therefore we must not be discouraged. Several treatments arefound to be effective.
Laser treatment for stretch marks
The CO2 laser is a solution that guarantees excellent results against stretch marks, even the oldest ones. This procedure involves peeling the superficial layers of the epidermis: for this reason, this practice is also called microdermabrasion of stretch marks.
The laser causes a wound on the skin and the tissues thus carryingout regenerative processes: it is, therefore, a natural response of the body, which smoothes the stretch mark making it less evident.
Eliminate stretch marks with radiofrequency
The action of radiofrequency stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, favouringthe plumping of skin tissues This treatment for white stretch marks warms the deepest layer of the dermis with very thin needles and guarantees a more toned and smoother skin.
Remove stretch marks with carboxytherapy
Often combined with radiofrequency, carboxytherapy is a stretch mark removal treatment that stimulates the production of elastin and collagen by injecting carbon dioxide into the skin tissues. This practice promotes skin oxygenation and blood flow.
Carboxytherapy guarantees excellent results against red stretch marks.
