How laser light can treat stretch marks
While there are a variety of creams, lotions, and other topical products that claim to reduce the severity of stretch marks, many of these do not provide noticeable results. This is when patients come to see Dr. Shirley Olsen to learn about laser therapies. Laser treatment can reduce stretch marks in a fast, simple, and non-invasive way that is comfortable and effective. With a special fractional laser device cleared by the FDA, Dr. Shirley Olsen can treat the skin in the targeted area to achieve desirable results. Results are not immediate—this is because the laser light stimulates the body’s natural collagen production beneath the skin. In doing so, the skin is thickened and smoothed, and stretch marks begin to fade and become less noticeable. Most patients will benefit from up to five treatment sessions spaced weeks apart, with each session lasting approximately 15 minutes. There is no downtime, healing, or side effects, making this a popular treatment with our patients.
