Laser surgery?
Question by hankypanky680: Laser surgery?
I am thinking about getting laser surgery to remove the stretch marks that i have when i graduate, I only have minor little ones on the inside of my thighs but I am always thinking about them?
Does anyone have any stories that they can share to help me make my decision. I have the money so that is not a problem.

Yes,Im 15 i have my face lasord about every 4 months to get rid of my birthmark, Honestly it only hurts the first three shots then you wont even know its there. Youll be ok ask them to either numb it or put numbing cream on the spots that are extremly tender. Good luck Choa puppy

The continual development and dissemination of laser technology throughout the world has been nothing short of miraculous. Over the last fifteen years, this field has been marked by constant technological innovation. This book represents the most up-to-date description of the state of the art in laser and light source technology. Its authors represent leading experts from both North America and Europe. After an initial chapter describing the latest understanding of laser physics and safety, subsequent chapters take up the laser treatment, respectively, of vascular lesions, pigmented lesions and tattoos, unwanted hair, ablative and non-ablative resurfacing, and its use for medical purposes. Each chapter begins with the core concepts historically followed by laser treatment for a given cutaneous problem, currently available technologies, indications and contraindications. Each author then provides an example of his/her consent form and personal treatment approach.

yeh if you have the money and they’re bugging you, i would say that its a good idea to go get it done. ive got some small ones on my thighs i don’t really mind them . .. but if i had the money id like to get it done, just for peace of mind i guess. If you end up having laser sugery i hope it all goes well

Laser treatment really only works on stretch marks that are pigmented (ie red or purple). It has very little effect on the marks themselves as they are due to loss of the elastic dermis of the skin (a little like pulling a spring out too far). So, if your stretch marks are pale then laser is not only unlikely to improve things, but may make things worse by causing secondary pigmentation changes.
If, however, your stretch marks are pigmented, then laser can reduce their colouration, but will not reduced their size and shape.
Sorry it’s not all good news, but there are a lot of cowboys out there making promises they can’t keep and I would hate to see you wate your money
