How the ResurFX laser Can Erase Stretch Marks and Restore Confidence
Stretch marks, or striae, are a common skin concern for many people. They can appear due to rapid weight gain or loss, pregnancy, or growth spurts during puberty. At Pure Dermatology, we offer a cutting-edge solution to help reduce the appearance of stretch marks: the ResurFX laser.
What is ResurFX?
ResurFX is a non-ablative fractional laser technology that targets the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production and promote skin remodeling without damaging the skin's surface. This makes it a safe and effective treatment for various skin concerns, including stretch marks.
How Does ResurFX Work on Stretch Marks?
Fractional Technology:
- The ResurFX laser delivers precise microbeams of 1565 nm wavelength laser energy to the skin. These microbeams create tiny columns of thermal damage in the skin, which triggers the body's natural healing process.
- Unlike ablative lasers, ResurFX does not remove the top layer of the skin. Instead, it penetrates deeply to remodel the underlying tissue and stimulate collagen production.
Collagen Stimulation:
- The microthermal zones created by the ResurFX laser stimulate fibroblasts, which are the cells responsible for collagen production.
- Increased collagen production helps to improve the texture and appearance of stretch marks, making them less visible over time.
What to Expect During Treatment
Consultation:
- During your consultation, our dermatologist will assess your skin type and the severity of your stretch marks to determine if ResurFX is the right treatment for you.
- A customized treatment plan will be developed based on your specific needs.
Treatment Session:
- Before the procedure, a topical numbing cream will be applied to enhance your comfort.
- The ResurFX laser handpiece is gently moved over the treatment area, delivering the microbeams to the skin.
- A cooling device is used to protect the skin and minimize discomfort during the procedure.
Post-Treatment Care:
- You may experience mild redness and swelling, like a sunburn, which typically subsides within a few days.
- It's important to keep the treated area moisturized and to avoid direct sun exposure. Use sunscreen with SPF 30-50 to protect your skin.
- You will be provided post-treatment instructions to ensure optimal results.
