Laser Treatment for Stretch Marks

- How It Works: The laser targets the underlying layers of skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production without harming the surrounding tissues.
- Treatment Areas: Effective on the stomach, thighs, upper arms, breasts, and more.

What Causes Stretch Marks?
Stretch marks can appear during pregnancy, rapid weight gain, or muscle building due to the stretching of the skin. Our laser treatment addresses these marks by repairing the skin from within, ensuring long-lasting results.
The Procedure: Quick and Comfortable
Experience a pain-free treatment session as follows:
- Duration: 30-45 minutes depending on the treatment area.
- Sensation: Mild discomfort, akin to a rubber band snap.
- Frequency: Multiple sessions may be required depending on the severity of stretch marks.
Aftercare and Recovery
Post-treatment, you can expect minimal downtime and the following care recommendations:
- Immediate Care: Mild redness and swelling that typically subsides quickly.
- Long-Term Care: Avoid direct sunlight and use recommended skincare products to maintain results.
Are You an Ideal Candidate for Stretch Mark Treatment?
If you have visible stretch marks, new or old, you are a candidate for Dr. Rubinstein’s laser stretch mark treatment at Laser & Cosmetic Surgery Specialists of Newburgh, NY. Stretch marks form on the inner arms and thighs, breasts, abdomens, backs, hips, and even necks—any place a body deposits fat.
Up to 90 percent of women acquire stretch marks during pregnancy. Even before that, up to 70 percent of young girls develop them through the rapid body changes of puberty. Men, too, suffer not only from weight gain, but also from rapid muscle building. Unfortunately, once stretch marks appear, they are permanent unless treated.
The beauty of the Lux 1540 is its effectiveness and suitability for all skin types. All ethnicities, even those with darker skin tones, can enjoy significant stretch mark improvement simply due to the wavelength spectrum used. It is especially beneficial to patients who have tried other methods but are unhappy with the lack of desired results.
Combined Treatments for Enhanced Results
In some cases, Dr. Rubinstein may recommend combining microneedling with laser treatment to maximize skin rejuvenation and stretch mark reduction.

Potential Risks and Considerations
The risks are extremely low with the Palomar Lux 1540 treatment. This virtually painless procedure is noninvasive and gradual, avoiding the drawbacks common to ablative and nonfractional lasers. The key to an optimal experience, however, is avoiding sun exposure, tanning products, bleaching creams, or any other active-ingredient topicals at least two weeks prior to the cosmetic procedure. These include benzyl peroxide, retinol, and salicylic acid, so check labels carefully. Accutane use within the past 6 months is also an issue and may require a delay in laser treatment. As with any cosmetic surgical procedure, results depend on the plastic surgeon’s expertise and the patient’s dedication to following pre- and postprocedure instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions about Laser Stretch Mark Treatment
The actual cosmetic procedure is amazingly simple and convenient: about an hour to allow the topical numbing cream to act, plus 30–40 minutes for the actual laser energy application. You will need to commit to four to six treatment sessions, spaced two to four weeks apart, to allow interim healing and rejuvenation. In three to five months, you should be able to see obvious results. Because this is a gradual, gentle process, you will experience no downtime other than the actual office appointments and series of treatments.
The cost of stretch mark removal depends on several factors including the type of treatment, the extent of the area treated, and the number of sessions needed. Our offices will give you an approximate fee when you contact us. An exact quote will be given once you have consulted with Dr. Rubinstein.
Your rejuvenating skin needs protection to heal optimally. The most important factor after the procedure is to use sunscreen at all times, daily. You can apply it almost immediately after treatment and should continue to use it until directed otherwise (usually three months). Initially, you may experience some mild swelling, itching (due to minor swelling), and redness for a day or two. Most patients liken it to mild sunburn. Often, ice applied to the skin is all that is needed. Some patients notice light bronzing or flaking. Quality moisturizers with SPF 15 sunscreen help considerably and protect the new skin from even inadvertent sun exposure.
You can return to work immediately following the procedure, as long as your skin is properly protected with sunscreen.
