For so many women, stretch marks are an unavoidable and unpleasant side
effect of pregnancy. They can also affect bodybuilders, as well as anyone else
who has gained or lost a significant amount of weight in a short period of time.
Some people are even unlucky enough to acquire them during the growth
spurts of puberty. Although maintaining a stable weight and taking good care
of one’s skin are certainly steps in the right direction, the unfortunate truth is
that heredity and hormonal changes play a considerable role in the formation
of stretch marks.
Stretch marks represent a permanent change in the dermis (the deeper layer
of skin beneath the surface layer known as the epidermis), studies have
shown that laser treatments can lessen the depth of stretch marks in some
patients, with an improvement rate of up to 50%.
The improvement is believed to be largely due to the laser’s stimulation of
increased production of collagen and elastin in the dermal (deeper) layer of
the skin, where stretch marks are formed.
The laser's energy stimulates the skin under the scar and causes the
fibroblasts in the skin to begin to divide again. The stimulation of the
production of collagen, thickens the skin under the scar until it closely
resembles the surrounding normal skin.
LLLT Studies have demonstrated that laser treatments improve or eliminate
the appearance of stretch marks and continue to improve over a period of time
ranging from 3 to 6 months after the laser treatment. Even those treatments
that showed little if any initial improvement showed as much as a 50%
improvement at their 6 month checkup.
