Stretch Mark Laser Removal - Does it Really Work

Looking for tips on how to get rid of stretch marks? Stretch mark laser removal surgery is something many sufferers of stretch marks may be considering, now that the procedure is relatively widespread and easy to access. While it can have some benefits, we've found the negatives far outweigh the positive outcomes, and have summed up our findings to help others decide if they would like to undergo this procedure.

There is much debate on the internet and in the cosmetic surgery world about the risks of laser surgery. Reports range from the procedure being painless and fairly effective, to very painful and leaving worse damage to the skin than the stretch marks had caused. Some have theorised that those experiencing tissue damage from laser stretch mark removal may have been due not to the procedure being unsafe, but to poorly trained operators, a consequence of the popularity and growth of the industry. Whatever the reason, the risk remains, and it is one of the factors to weigh up.

The science behind the procedure doesn't back up many of the claims by those who practice stretch mark laser removal. Laser surgery cannot heal stretch mark scars, it works by removing the outer layers of skin. This can sometimes reduce the appearance of the marks, but the scarring remains.

Another factor to consider is the prohibitive cost. Laser surgery, while being cheaper than other forms of cosmetic surgery, is still very expensive, with single sessions ranging from $500 to thousands of dollars. Most patients will require multiple sessions.

With all the negatives and only a few positives, stretch mark laser removal seems to be a poor choice for most stretch mark sufferers. If you are suffering from stretch marks, a better choice may be some of the new creams on the market proven to help boost collagen levels in the skin and are proven to drastically reduce the appearance of stretch marks.
