Stretch marks are an issue that bothers many people. They appear when the skin is stretched too far, too fast. This can happen during puberty when you hit a growth spurt, pregnancy, or through weight fluctuations. While there are many products out there that claim to help reduce their appearance, many do not live up to their promises. The Icon laser is an innovative and effective method of stretch marks reduction. If you have been seeking a way to get rid of these marks, this may be just the option you have been waiting for.
How Does Icon Help Reduce the Appearance of Stretch Marks?
This procedure uses fractional laser energy to break down stretch marks. At the same time, the Icon laser helps stimulate your body to start making more collagen. Since collagen is essential for firm, smooth skin, this helps to take your results to the next level. Your body will gradually reveal skin that both looks and feels smoother.
Unlike topical creams that claim to help reduce the appearance of stretch marks, the Icon laser can penetrate the layers of the skin. Being a fractional layer, Icon can get to the root of the problem, rather than just trying to mask the symptoms.
What to Expect with Stretch Marks Reduction
The first step in the Icon process is to have a consultation. This is where your stretch marks and goals for treatment can be evaluated. The consultation serves as a useful tool in helping us develop the most effective treatment plan possible. Prior to using the laser, a topical numbing cream is applied to your skin. This helps maintain your comfort during treatment. The laser is then used to trace the stretch marks on your skin.
Overall, a session of stretch marks removal takes as little as 30 minutes. In order to achieve the best possible results, you will need a series of treatments. Typically speaking, people receive between four and eight total sessions. Luckily, there is no downtime after treatment. Although there may be a slight redness to the skin for a day or two, there is no pain and no reason to avoid your normal activities.
