What Is Stretch Mark Removal?
Whether caused by childbirth, weight fluctuations, or many other causes, numerous individuals are unhappy with stretch marks that show up as raised lines on their bodies. These unattractive lines are a kind of skin tearing that will not usually disappear by themselves. At Excel Regenerative Medicine, Dr. Shail Singh offers stretch mark removal treatments utilizing the groundbreaking Cynosure Icon™ or Morpheus8™ to address stretch marks on numerous areas of your skin. These technologies resurface the skin, leaving it looking and feeling smoother. We invite you to call one of our offices in San Jose, Antioch, or El Dorado Hills, CA to arrange a consultation for this nonsurgical procedure.
How Does Stretch Mark Removal Work?
Laser treatments with Icon work by penetrating the targeted tissue with light energy to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which causes new skin tissue to form. The result is a reduction of stretch marks and a tighter, smoother skin surface. The Morpheus8 uses a technique called radiofrequency (RF) microneedling to remodel the skin and create a smoother texture. Both processes are quick and require little to no downtime. The number of sessions needed will depend on the location, size, and amount of stretch marks. Generally, 4 – 8 laser treatments with Icon are needed to achieve desired results while 2 – 4 treatments with the Morpheus8 are recommended.
