The human body goes through a lot of changes and these changes are visible on the skin. Because of age and physical activities, the skin slowly becomes littered with scars, wrinkles, lines, and stretch marks.
Stretch marks are indented streaks that occur on the body when the skin stretches to accommodate rapid growth. Stretch marks are mostly seen in teenagers, men and women who have lost a lot of weight in a short period of time, and pregnant women. Stretch marks are not harmful, but they don’t look good and may cause people to feel self-conscious about their appearance.
There are many creams, ointments, or DIY recipes that claim to reduce stretch marks, but they either do not work at all or are not very effective. At Arra Aesthetics, Pune, we use the RecoSMA laser device developed by LINLINE Medical Systems to combat stretch marks.
There are many advantages to using the RecoSMA laser to reduce stretch marks. Since it does not damage the skin, the treatment is painless and has no side effects. There is no need for any special preparations before the procedure or any special care to be taken after the procedure. The RecoSMA laser stimulates the skin and encourages the cells to create new, healthy tissue. This tissue completely replaces the scarred tissue and the skin in the treatment area is renewed.
The cost of laser treatment for stretch mark reduction is not covered by insurance, because it is a cosmetic procedure. The total cost of laser treatment for stretch mark reduction depends on factors like:
Area of skin to be treated
Length of the stretch marks
The equipment being used
Doctor's fees
Cost of consultation
Cost of the medical facility
The average cost of laser treatment for stretch mark reduction is around Rs. 3,000 per session + 18% GST at Arra Aesthetics, Pune. In general, laser treatment for stretch mark reduction requires 6-8 sessions. Dr. Vasant Gholave will discuss every aspect of the cost of laser treatment for stretch mark reduction with you during consultation.
The procedure of using RecoSMA for stretch mark reduction is as follows:
The target area is treated with the RecoSMA laser.
The laser beam penetrates the skin and destroys the fibers of the scar tissue, while simultaneously promoting the production of collagen fibers.
These fibers replace the destroyed scar tissue and the skin in the target area becomes the same as normal skin.
During the procedure, the patient will feel a hot, tingling sensation.
Generally, multiple sessions are required to completely remove stretch marks from the skin using a RecoSMA laser. The number of sessions will be determined by the doctor based on the patient’s unique case.
The skin at the target area will turn red immediately after the procedure. It will start to darken and begin to peel off the next day. After 3 to 4 days, the old skin will be peeled off and new skin will form at the site of the stretch marks.
There are a number of additional surgical procedures that can be done to remove stretch marks. One is tummy tuck surgery. This type of surgery removes excess skin and fat from the stomach area, which can help to make stretch marks less noticeable. Another option is mommy makeover surgery. A mommy makeover is a good option for mothers who want to improve their overall appearance after pregnancy. It involves a combination of procedures, including tummy tuck.
