Laser or Light Therapy

It is the newest form of therapy used for the removal of stretch marks and can greatly help in reducing their appearance. The procedure is performed by a cosmetic surgeon through the use of pulse dye laser or intense pulse light. It can greatly improve the appearance of stretch marks by increasing the collagen production.

There are two types of techniques through which stretch marks could be greatly improved. One is laser light and the second is Intense Pulse Light (IPL).

Laser stretch mark removal

In this technique, intense laser light is used to reduce the appearance of stretch marks. When laser light is focused on the targeted area, it creates a controlled wound in that area which increases the collagen production. Due to the increased collagen production, the new skin is formed which is smoother as compared to older skin.

Intense Pulse Light (IPL)

This technique uses intense broad light to reduce the visibility of stretch marks. The basic technique of IPL and Laser is the same. Both of them use the heating property of light to get the results. In this procedure, intense light is focused on the targeted area which increases the collagen production in that area. The increase in collagen production causes the skin to become smooth due to the formation of new skin.

Laser light will give you the desired results in less number of sessions but each session will take more time. The sessions of IPL will be shorter but it will take more sessions to get the same results as laser light.
