Stretch Marks

As our hormones shift and change in our body they interact with our skin and may result in stretch marks.
Pregnancy, birth control pills, rapid weight gain or loss, topical steroid creams and rapid growing all cause stretch marks.

Greenspring Rejuvenation offers the only laser that is FDA approved for stretch marks!

There are treatments available, particularly with lasers, which can help improve stretch marks.  We can reduce red stretch marks, diminish white marks, improve the texture and make them look better so that in some cases so that you can't see them very easily. Stretch marks can be significantly improved, but they are not completely removed..  A series of treatment sessions are usually needed to obtain the best results.

Treatment of Red Stretch Marks
When the stretch marks are red, lasers can be highly effective at reducing the redness and stopping some of the inflammation. Lasers work by reducing the redness in the red stretch marks and by improving some of the inflammation causing the stretch marks in the first place. Lasers also induce collagen growth and remodeling, as well as some elastin remodeling which improves the appearance of the skin.

Laser for White Stretch Marks
Greenspring offers the only laser that is FDA approved for these stretch marks.  This laser is highly effective for stretch marks that are white or tissue-like in texture.  There is some risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation in darker individuals that takes some time to fade away.
