Stretch marks can happen to both men and women. While they are frequently seen after pregnancy, anybody that has gained or lost a significant amount of weight can start to notice marks on their skin. While annoying, stretch marks do not have to be a permanent problem with stretch mark removal at Nulook Medpsa in Toronto.
What Are Stretch Marks?
Stretch marks are formally known as “striae”. This type of scarring usually has a purplish tint to them. When the body grows at an accelerated rate, these lines occur from the skin’s capacity to stretch. Common places stretch marks can occur are in the upper thigh area, the stomach, hips or lower back. Stretch marks do not usually cause pain. Although some people may experience a burning sensation, most do not. By visiting Nulook Medspa in Toronto, stretch marks can be effectively eliminated in little time.
Stretch Mark Removal in Toronto
There are a variety of treatments that can make stretch marks disappear. Microneedling has been shown to fade scarring by opening collagen fibers and breaking up scar tissue. Once new skin heals, the scarring is significantly diminished. Fraxel Restore treatment is another method for reducing the appearance of stretch marks. By first numbing the skin, a non-ablative laser can help penetrate the skin to get rid of sun damage and stretch marks. By resurfacing new skin, healthy skin cells can grow naturally.
While there are lotions and creams that can work to prevent stretch marks, many people seek medical-related treatment. This is especially true if stretch marks have already occurred. While over-the-counter prevention treatments like cocoa butter can potentially work, they are not successful for everyone. Skin type and tone can make a difference when finding the right type of skin treatment. There are various cosmetic treatments for numerous issues pertaining to the skin. Any in-depth questions can be answered during a free consultation.
