It involves excising the skin containing the stretch marks and is only performed when there is excess skin (after weight loss, for example). One of the limitations of laser treatment is that it is not suitable for dark skin types.”Īs a last resort, and when the methods above did not work, surgery can be considered as an option. Several sessions are generally needed to obtain good results, and the treatment must be supervised by a dermatologist. This results in improved elasticity, structure and color of the skin. īy heating the skin, laser beams stimulate collagen and elastin production.

After at least 4 monthly sessions, stretch mark width has been shown to be reduced. While penetrating into the skin, microneedles apply radiofrequency energy, inducing collagen and elastin production. Fractional microneedling radiofrequency (FMR).At least 5 weekly sessions are needed before seeing any significant results. By removing the superficial layer of the skin, it stimulates skin regeneration and collagen production. Aluminum oxide/sodium chloride crystals are propelled onto the skin surface at a programmable pressure, and immediately vacuumed back up along with skin debris. Microdermabrasion is a mechanical peeling technique. This treatment can also increase the effect of topical creams. Home-use chemical peels can be found, but better results can be obtained by a dermatologist as your doctor will be able to adapt chemical concentrations to your skin type. Several peels are needed to obtain satisfying results.

A recent study showed that it decreases stretch mark width and improves color by increasing melanin. Other treatments are rarely necessary, but if topical treatments fail to deliver the results you seek, you can discuss other, more invasive options with your dermatologist, including:Īpplication of glycolic acid generates a peeling of the superficial layer of the skin, forcing it to regenerate.
