Stretch Mark Removal

Laser technology has been a godsend to the medical industry. The amount of time and the ease that surgeons are able to perform their skill are enough benefits to make laser technology the medical wave of the future.

The cosmetic industry has also benefited from the use of lasers. One of the most newsworthy breakthroughs is the ability of laser technology to reduce established stretch marks. While there are some products that have been reported to produce dramatic results in mature stretch marks, it is rarely the case. The latest in laser technology for the cosmetic industry is Coolbeam. Stretch marks that are treated with this new laser technology are reported to have results such that an individual may actually be able to live without stretch marks.

It really is simple for a surgeon to use Coolbeam. Stretch marks are treated with a unique type of laser called ND Yag laser. It is believed that stretch marks are the result of the skin attempting to heal itself in the presence of a lack of collagen. ND Yag laser serves to help the skin repair its collagen stores in the area of the stretch marks. Because the destruction of collagen occurs at deep levels within the skin, many over-the-counter products are unsuccessful in treating stretch marks. This is not the case with Coolbeam. Stretch marks treated with Coolbeam receive the laser light directly.

What you will experience with Coolbeam that you will experience with other treatments for stretch marks is that you probably won’t experience an improvement overnight. It is more likely the case that you will need several sessions of Coolbeam. Stretch marks treated with this method are often diminished or eliminated in at least six sessions. The amount of time it takes to see an improvement will depend on how your skin heals and the depth of your stretch marks.
