Stretch marks are most commonly caused by changes in weight and pregnancy; occurring when your skin stretches quickly. They can appear white in colour, or sometimes red and can occur anywhere on the body. If they are unsightly and you feel self-conscious, there is a solution for treating stretch marks, a technique called micro-needling.
Micro-Needling for Treating Stretch Marks
Microneedling is a way of stimulating your body’s healing processes. This heals skin naturally. It makes sense that you might be wary of the idea of subjecting yourself to hundreds of micro-wounds. But, micro-needling is a safe way to use your own body’s natural response to get rid of stretch marks.
How does Micro-Needing Work?
Each micro-injury that’s created results in your body enacting a healing process. This process increases your body’s natural production of collagen and elastin. These also naturally fight the look of ageing and improve the tone of your skin. It’s been used to remove scars, wrinkles, sun damage, shrink pores, and get rid of stretch marks. There are a few different approaches that are useful:
ResurFX: The ResurFX laser by Lumenis®. Is one of the world’s leading makers of medical devices. It is a skin resurfacing option that prioritizes patient comfort just as much as effectiveness. As a non-ablative laser, it stimulates the skin to develop collagen without harming or ablating any skin. As collagen increases, the skin looks tighter, more even, and more youthful.
In addition, ResurFX is also a fractional laser. This means the laser is delivered to the skin in tiny dots and also to only a fraction of the skin. The ResurFX requires only one pass over the skin to produce effective results, reducing treatment time. Since it is a non-ablative, fractional laser, the recovery time after the procedure is also minimized.
In addition, Dermapen Microneedling: Dermapen micro-needling is ideal for a course of treatment; designed to repair deep wrinkles, scars, and also blotches. It’s the most prolific micro-needling approach. It is also suited for a broad range of skin tightening and tone improvement.
