Why do stretch marks occur?

A stretch mark is basically a scar which develops when our skin stretches or shrinks quickly. The abrupt change in the body size puts stress on the collagen and elastin leading to their rupture. As the skin attempts to repair the damage, it results in scars called stretch marks.

Long term application of potent corticosteroid creams on your skin may also result in stretch marks.

You have a higher risk of developing stretch marks if people in your family get stretch marks!

Women have a greater tendency to develop stretch marks as compared with males.

TREATMENT OPTIONS

The appearance of stretch marks can be embarrassing and concerning but they fade away with time- a long while. Today, there are various treatments that make them less visible and improve the texture and appearance of the skin. Have a realistic expectation before going to get stretch marks treatment in Lucknow.

• Laser therapy - Specialized lasers including ablative lasers such as CO2 lasers, Erbium YAG and non-ablative lasers such as Alexandrite and Fraxel destroy the upper layers of the skin as well as increase the development of collagen from the inside out. 
• Skin treatments including microdermabrasion, microneedling, and chemical peels remove the dead cells as well as provide deep exfoliation.
• Radiofrequency - Energy waves such as radio waves are sent into the skin to even out and smoothen the skin
• Prescription medication- Sometimes, you may need to take medication depending upon the duration of the stretch marks, skin type, texture and your realistic expectation

LASER STRETCH MARKS REMOVAL

During a laser stretch marks removal procedure, a beam of light is introduced to the affected skin and that removes thin layers of the skin around the stretch marks. The excimer laser is used uniquely to address the issue and the best part of this laser stretch marks treatment in Delhi is, that it does not burn or cut the affected skin areas like other laser treatments. Our skin specialists in  Lucknow use technologies that involve high-energy ultraviolet laser light disruption. A typical molecular bond in the skin tissue breaks down the other molecular bonds in the skin. This process of removing or destroying the tissue layers is popular as skin ablation.

After the completion of the laser stretch marks treatment in Lucknow for the removal of the stretch marks, the area is aided with certain antibiotic ointments and waited until it completely heals. The healing continues with the formation of new layers of healthy skin which starts appearing and the stretch marks will not be visible on the new healthy skin.
