Stretch marks are marks on the skin resulting from the disruption of the dermal layer. They are created by overstretching or weakening of the skin’s dermal layer. Initially red in color, stretch marks become shiny and colorless over time. Although various treatments have been utilized in modern medicine, complete remission is often not achievable.

Individuals who have developed stretch marks due to factors such as pregnancy, rapid weight gain, hormonal imbalances, or certain medical conditions are candidates for stretch mark treatment. Common causes include:

1. Pregnancy: Overstretching of the abdomen in pregnant women.
2. Rapid Weight Gain: Excessive stretching of the skin due to sudden weight increase.
3. Hormonal Imbalances: Conditions like Cushing’s syndrome causing weakness in the dermal layer.
4. Steroid Use: Increased intake of steroids and hormones, leading to dermal weakness.

Several treatment options are available to improve the appearance of stretch marks:

• Silicone Creams: Help improve the texture and quality of the skin.
• RecoSMA Laser Treatment: Enhances the maturation of stretch marks and improves their color.
• Surgical Procedures: Techniques like nano fat grafting have been utilized with variable results.

RecoSMA Laser Treatment is an advanced procedure for stretch mark reduction. It works by sending acoustic waves underneath the stretch marks. These expanding waves collide, causing mechanical trauma that retriggers the inflammatory phase of wound healing. This process leads to the deposition of new collagen and realignment of collagen fibers within the stretch marks, improving their appearance.

Key Benefits of RecoSMA Laser Treatment:

• Minimally Invasive: No need for surgical intervention.
• Painless: The procedure is comfortable and does not require anesthesia.
• Quick Sessions: Treatment can be completed in a short time.

Aftercare Instructions:

1. Avoid Water Contact: Do not allow water to come into contact with the treated area for 24 hours after the procedure.
2. Use Sunscreen: Apply sunscreen during the daytime to protect the treated skin.
3. Apply Silicone Cream: Use silicone cream at night to aid in skin healing.

Expected Outcomes:

• Improved Skin Texture: Stretch marks become less noticeable.
• Enhanced Skin Elasticity: Skin regains some of its natural elasticity.
• Long-lasting Results: Continued improvement over time with minimal downtime.
