Stretch Marks are usually seen after the pregnancy, weight changes and abnormal fat distribution, after the exercise and mechanical stress. So far there were no effective treatment modalities for striae and the options available for the repair of stretch marks were very limited until physicians began using vascular lasers obtaining remarkable results.  Like other forms of dermal scarring, stretch marks originating from pregnancy, rapid weight gain, or mechanical stress, respond well to laser treatment. 

How is Laser helpful in treating striae?

The laser reduces the erythema from the striae and also changes the skin contour. The result is a dramatically improved revision of the skin.  When compared with conventional topical methods of stretch mark revision, improvement is significant.  And, skin irritation resulting from the use of these topical treatments is eliminated.
