| Early Treatment Results from Palomar Treatment of Stretchmarks |
You can. How did they get there? Genetics mostly, but weight gain is part of it. The number of pregnancies, the amount of fluid, the physical pressures. Did you try creams as you go? Maybe all these factors are contributory, definitely poor nutrition is not good for the skin but whether there's really a very effective skin cream, we're still testing. Stria are essentially stretched skin from collagen shrinking and contracting in the stripped area. To improve the area you need to regrow the collagen and to some extent, remodel it. Using the Palomar StarLux 500™ Laser 1540 this patient was treated three times. The first 6 hours, some pinkness to the skin, there may be some swelling. No situps, no hot tubs, TV and that page turner are about the right activities. Right as skin gets treated there may be a tiny bit of skin blanching, you’ll never see that. Most patients with older stretch marks take 3 to 6 months to see improvement, if they are new and bright red the way these were, they respond right away. Stretch marks of the breast, the back, the thighs, the abdomen can all be treated. We can use the infrared laser head to tighten skin as well, and the IPL laser to get rid of the bright fuchsia of the newer ones
