WHAT IS THE BEST TREATMENT FOR STRETCH MARKS?
To achieve optimal improvements in the texture and tone of the skin, Dr. Gujjar uses advanced combinations of non-surgical treatments that are tailored to the needs of each unique patient. The best stretch mark treatment for you will be determined by your skin type, skin tone, and the age and severity of the stretch marks.
In most cases, Dr. Gujjar recommends one or more of the following treatments to smooth and lighten stretch marks:
In most cases, Dr. Gujjar recommends one or more of the following treatments to smooth and lighten stretch marks:
LASER SKIN TREATMENTS
Dr. Gujjar owns a comprehensive selection of cosmetic laser devices that can treat a broad spectrum of skin conditions. A series of laser treatment sessions is often needed to achieve optimal improvements.Depending on your anatomy, skin type, and skin tone, Dr. Gujjar will strategically choose one or more laser devices to rejuvenate the skin, address hyperpigmentation, and encourage collagen production.
RADIOFREQUENCY HEATING DEVICES
Non-invasive radiofrequency (RF) heating devices like Forma Plus deliver controlled RF heat to the skin. The heat kickstarts collagen production in the targeted area to prevent signs of aging, minimize the appearance of stretch marks, and create firmer, tighter skin.MICRONEEDLING WITH RADIOFREQUENCY (RF)
For many patients, microneedling with RF is the ideal approach to reducing the appearance of stretch marks.Microneedling with RF combines the collagen-boosting and skin resurfacing effects of microneedling with the skin rejuvenating and tightening effects of RF heating. The micro-wounds created by the device’s tiny needles allow the RF heat to reach deeper layers of the skin.
The surface-level micro-punctures and the controlled thermal damage below the surface work to trigger the body’s wound healing response. Part of that natural process is an increase in the production of collagen and elastin, which helps to minimize the appearance of stretch marks as well as encourage overall improvements in the condition of the skin.
Like laser treatments, a series of treatment sessions is often needed to accomplish the desired outcome. However, compared to laser treatments, microneedling with RF has a lower risk of causing discoloration and requires less downtime.
PEELS
Chemical peels like Cosmelan frequently play an important supporting role in Dr. Gujjar’s combination stretch mark treatments. To prevent hyperpigmentation and achieve more significant improvements in the tone and lustre of the skin, Dr. Gujjar may advise a Cosmelan peel before and after laser skin treatments.Picosecond laser treatment
Picosecond laser treatment is similar to Q-switched laser treatment, but it uses shorter pulses of light.WHAT IS DR. GUJJAR’S APPROACH TO TREATING STRETCH MARKS?
PROCEDURE DETAILSUsing various state-of-the-art fractional devices and therapies—including non-ablative lasers, radiofrequency heating devices, and ablative lasers for more aggressive stretch marks—Dr. Gujjar resurfaces the skin and improves overall skin texture.
