Representatives of the fair sex, who, unfortunately, have encountered this problem, are advised not to wait until the situation worsens. It should be understood that the sooner you go to the salon to remove stretch marks, the greater the likelihood of getting positive results after using a laser.

Body streaks: basic locations

Stretch marks can occur where, as a result ofweight changes stretch the skin - arms, stomach, hips, legs, chest, lower back. There are several reasons for their appearance, starting from pregnancy, when the skin simply does not keep up with the growth rate of the fetus, ending with weight fluctuations and hormonal imbalance. But the result is the same - the body looks, to put it mildly, unattractive, which is why almost all representatives of the fair sex develop serious complexes.

Laser: is the 100% result guaranteed?

Of course, we hope for complete removal of stretch marks.and that your skin will become perfectly smooth, as before, is not worth it. Small traces of stretch marks will still remain after the treatment, but they will be barely noticeable. The number of necessary procedures directly depends on how long ago this problem appeared. So, fresh and newly appeared striae, for example, after childbirth, the laser removes quickly. On average, you will have to spend time on four or five sessions, no more. Many women are interested in another question - is this procedure painful. Firstly, everything depends on your sensitivity threshold, and secondly, on self-hypnosis. Usually in salons, patients are anesthetized before removing stretch marks with a laser. But some still feel a little discomfort during the effect of the device on the skin.

Fighting stretch marks: ways to solve the problem

• Grinding

Removal of stretch marks is done using a regularlaser, which gently removes the upper layers of the skin. After exposure to this device, the cells begin to renew, as a result of which stretch marks on damaged areas become less noticeable. This procedure is relatively cheap, especially if an erbium rather than a carbon dioxide device is used. If the clinic is not too expensive and promoted, the price for removing stretch marks will be from two hundred fifty to three hundred rubles per centimeter. Laser resurfacing has its advantages and disadvantages. If we talk about the advantages, it is painlessness, since in most cases the device affects only the upper layers of the epidermis. And a relatively quick positive result - on the seventh to tenth day after you will see improvements. However, you will be able to fully evaluate the effectiveness of this method only after six months. As for the disadvantages, there are not so many. Firstly, rehabilitation will last from two weeks to a month and a half, while you will not be able to sunbathe, swim, or constantly be in the sun. Secondly, during this period you will need to take especially good care of your skin, apply special ointments and creams. The safety of the procedure plays an important role, so before going to a beauty salon or clinic, be sure to undergo a full examination. If your body is weakened, there is a risk of an infectious disease. Contact only specialists who have licenses and certificates. An inexperienced doctor can harm your health if he incorrectly calculates the depth of the device's impact. As a result, the skin may become covered with white or dark brown spots, and scars may appear on the body.

• Fractional impact

This method is different in that it is specialThe Palomar device removes even old stretch marks that are more than three to four years old. The principle of operation is quite simple - a laser makes small "burns" on the problem area, which leads to the production of mediators. As a result, the skin thickens slightly, and striae disappear from the body. Stretch marks are removed without anesthesia, since this device has a special device built in that cools the laser head. The number of procedures directly depends on the condition of the skin and the duration of the problem (on average, five to six). After each visit to a clinic or beauty salon, you will have to wait about a month. An absolute plus is that the procedure itself takes only thirty to fifty minutes, no more. If the skin is treated with a conventional laser, it takes an average of up to two hours. Despite the fact that Palomar penetrates deep enough, it does not cause serious burns, scars or hematomas. Please note that only experienced specialists can work with the Palomar device, which is necessarily documented. At the first appointment, the doctor must fully examine the client, tell about contraindications and possible consequences. The rehabilitation period lasts about two to three days. How long it will take you to recover depends entirely on the area of ​​treatment. Many who have removed stretch marks with a laser claim that during this time they did not feel any discomfort or pain. But, of course, it is still not recommended to go straight to the beach or go to a solarium, otherwise you will harm completely defenseless skin. Removing stretch marks with Palomar is not cheap. But the result justifies all the financial expenses - striae miraculously disappear from the body, which did not allow you to live to the fullest. How much you will have to spend, the doctor will tell you after a full examination. Of course, the larger the area of ​​treatment and the more delicate the skin, the more expensive.

Indications and contraindications

So, to the fair sexshould contact the salon if they have stretch marks on their body or the skin around them has lost elasticity. This often happens to those who do not use special creams and UV protection products. If you contact them in a timely manner, they will definitely help you. But not everything is as simple as it may seem at first glance. They will refuse to work with you if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, if you have a skin disease or if inflammatory processes have begun in the problem area. In some salons, you may be sent for additional examination.

Advantages of the laser

Firstly, laser treatment is completelysafe, if, of course, you have contacted a good clinic. Secondly, the positive effect will be visible almost immediately, which is difficult to achieve after using chemical or folk remedies. At the same time, you will not have to go under the knife and undergo a long, painful and unpleasant rehabilitation procedure to remove such defects.

Have removed striae, and that further or postrehabilitation period

Removing stretch marks is the first step to a healthy andclean body. After the procedure, you will have to spend more than one week on complete recovery until the upper layers of the skin are fully formed. During this period, red spots, swelling, and peeling may appear on the treated areas. Particularly sensitive representatives of the fair sex experience pain. After ten days, the above symptoms should pass, if, of course, you followed all the doctor's recommendations, used special creams and ointments. If after this time nothing changes or the condition worsens, then you should go to the hospital. Perhaps you have an infection or an exacerbation of a latent disease. For a month, you should protect your skin from ultraviolet radiation. You will also have to limit yourself for two to three weeks in such pleasures as taking a hot bath, going to a sauna, bathhouse or swimming pool. The maximum that you can allow yourself from water procedures is a five-minute light summer shower.

How to choose a clinic for removing striae

By trusting your health to a stranger,Women are taking risks in any case, since even the most experienced doctor cannot always guarantee high-quality and clean work. What can we say about newcomers who have only recently entered this field of activity and have not yet gotten their hands on patients? Therefore, in order to avoid an appointment with an amateur, be vigilant and do not trust promises of unearthly beauty and quick 100% results.

• Qualification

The very first thing you should pay attention to is– this is the availability of documentation confirming the legality of the establishment. Ask to see the certificates and license closer to make sure that these are originals and not fakes. If they assure you that everything is honest, but still do not give you the papers, leave the salon immediately, no matter how much the services of the masters cost there. You should not risk your health, since you can remove stretch marks elsewhere. Perhaps you will overpay five hundred or even a thousand rubles, but then you will not have to spend money on treatment and run around the courts to get compensation for the damage caused.

• Reputation above all

It is unlikely that you will decide to remove stretch marks at firsta clinic you come across with a peeling sign and incredibly huge discounts. Probably, you will first study the information about this institution, ask the opinions of clients, read reviews on the Internet. Today, any self-respecting company is obliged to have a business card website, which indicates how much this or that procedure costs, indications and contraindications. Also, basic information is always written there and a small portfolio of works is presented. By the way, the absence of a price list is a bad sign.

• Attitude of staff

So, you have chosen the right clinic in whichyou can remove stretch marks, and have almost decided to undergo the procedure, but you are wary of the attitude of the employees of the establishment towards you. This makes you think whether it is worth resorting to the services of boors who do not know how to treat clients. Remember, no self-respecting salon will allow itself anything unnecessary. You should be greeted with a smile, happily listening to your wishes and demands, no matter how strange they may be.

• Professionalism

How do you know if a person knows his business or if heworks in a slipshod manner? It is enough to listen carefully to what he says during the first appointment. If the doctor claims that stretch mark removal is a completely safe procedure and that in a couple of months you will be able to show off on the beach in a bikini, then he is blatantly lying to you. The specialist should first tell you that removing such defects, especially very old ones, is not easy, and that serious consequences and complications are possible. By the way, in almost all salons, a contract is concluded between the patient and the clinic, which states that you are familiar with this information.
