Stretch marks, medically known as striae, are a form of scarring on the skin with an off-color hue. They commonly appear when the skin’s dermis layer experiences rapid stretching, leading to a disruption in collagen production. This results in visible lines on the skin, initially manifesting as red or purple marks that gradually fade to white or silver. Stretch marks can affect any skin type, color, or condition and are not effectively treated by merely applying moisturizer to the skin’s surface.
The primary triggers for stretch marks include rapid changes in body size due to weight gain or loss, significant growth during puberty, or during pregnancy. Our skin, though resilient, can only stretch so much before these marks appear.
LineLaseTM is an effective and safe laser treatment for stretch marks that is appropriate for all skin types. It softens and flattens the appearance of stretch marks while improving the overall appearance of the skin. It is a comfortable and non-aggressive procedure, allowing patients to return immediately to their normal routines.
LineLaseTM is a 2-step procedure that combines Fotona SMOOTH® tightening with ablative resurfacing.
The first stage consists of a revolutionary non-ablative Er:YAG SMOOTH® mode applied to the treatment area, which is ideal for skin tightening. The intense, controlled surface tissue heating stimulates collagen remodeling and initiates neocollagenesis. The effects result in an overall improvement of laxity and elasticity in the treated areas.
The second stage consists of skin ablation with a full or fractional Er:YAG beam, which improves the scar characteristics of striae and removes superficial imperfections.
Laser treatments, while not completely erasing stretch marks, significantly enhance their appearance. The process involves using two main types of lasers for skin resurfacing: ablative and non-ablative. Ablative lasers, such as CO2 and Erbium YAG, work by removing the skin’s upper layer, effectively smoothing out the stretch marks.
The sensation of laser treatment is often compared to a feeling of ‘hot prickles’. To ensure maximum comfort during the procedure, our technicians apply a numbing cream to the treated area. Additionally, throughout your stretch mark laser removal at our clinic in Melbourne we’ll go the extra mile to alleviate any type of discomfort you might experience.
Following your laser stretch mark removal in Melbourne, it is crucial to avoid sun exposure and ensure that the skin remains hydrated and clean. We recommend consulting with your clinician for application advice to promote optimal healing and results.
