Stretch Mark Minimization

Although many mistakenly believe that stretch marks are a result of weight loss, their appearance as thin, elongated red marks that then fade to white (just like scars), is actually due to a tearing of the skin when it is not it is elastic enough to hold a new volume.

What happens with any weight loss, especially if considerable, is that, afterwards, the stretch marks appear atrophic and “empty”, and even more unwelcome.

Stretch marks, due to their nature so similar to scars, are very difficult to erase. Prevention is always the best weapon, therefore, in anticipation of an increase in body volumes, it is good practice to prepare the skin with creams and oils, through personalized massages, which Image Regenerative Clinic therapists will be happy to teach you.

As for the rest, the best procedures to mitigate stretch marks with satisfactory results are Fraxel Restore Dual and fractionated CO2 lasers. These “fractional” laser treatments favor the natural healing process of the skin, which is replaced by new tissue.
