Laser Stretchmarks



This gentleman had  bright red obvious stretchmarks from rapid muscular growth as a late teen/young adult about a decade ago.   After 10 thirty-minute laser treatments over the course of one year, I was able to achieve a remarkable outcome.  The stretched, "tissue-papery" thin skin shown in the before pictures was so transparent that the underlying red tissues were visible.  The Q-switched Yag laser generated new healthy skin structure closing up the "window" to the redness below.   This client was aware that there were no "sure-thing" cures for stretchmarks but was willing to patiently go through the process and take a chance, and he is quite pleased that he did.
