Stretch Mark Removal

Stretch marks removal can be done in several different ways, depending on the severity of the marks and your budget and desires.

There are creams and lotions, laser treatments, blue light treatments, abrasive therapy, and more. The costs involved can range from less than ten dollars to several thousands of dollars, depending on the treatment or procedure being performed and the medical costs if medical care is needed. A complete tummy tuck can solve the stretch mark problem if they are located around your belly button, but this method requires a surgical procedure, pain and discomfort, and a recovery period of around a week, plus it can cost thousands of dollars out of your pocket.

Stretch marks removal can be done using a blue light, and this method only involves an in office procedure. There is no need to stay in the hospital overnight or have invasive surgical procedures done with this method, and recovery has less discomfort and a shorter duration. There are many over the counter creams, gels, and lotions that can help minimize your stretch marks, but these can not cure or remove the scarring, just make it look better. A dermatologist or your family physician can prescribe a stronger cream for stretch marks, but these can be very costly and are not usually covered by insurance. Some of these creams are considered scar serums, and these creams are used to minimize scar tissue as well as stretch marks.

Laser treatment is a good stretch mark remover method, but can be pricey depending on the amount of skin that needs treatment and the doctor performing the laser therapy. Prices usually run between four and eight thousand dollars for the full course of treatment. Laser treatment works best when the stretch marks are still dark in color, because laser light is absorbed by the dark pigment, so if your stretch marks are light then this treatment may not be very effective. Abrasives can be used on the stretch marks, and this can help take off the top layers of skin so that the scars are not very visible. A chemical peel can also be used, with the same results.
