Stretch Marks Treatment
Stretch Marks Treatment
WITH NORDLYS FRAX 1550
What is the treatment?
The Nordlys Frax 1550 HP by Candela is a specialized fractional laser treatment designed specifically to reduce the appearance of stretch marks (striae). It works by creating tiny micro-injuries in the skin, which stimulate the body’s natural healing process, leading to increased collagen and elastin production. Over time, this results in smoother, firmer, and less visible stretch marks, restoring a more even skin texture.
How does it work?
The laser emits fractional laser beams at a wavelength of 1550 nm, which penetrate the skin and produce controlled microchannels. These micro-injuries signal the body to produce new collagen and elastin fibers. As the skin heals, the stretch marks become less prominent, their color fades, and the skin regains elasticity and smoothness.
The treatment is minimally invasive, with controlled heating that targets deep layers of skin without damaging the surface, allowing for effective results with little discomfort and a quick recovery.
Who is suitable?
- People with recent or mature stretch marks on hips, thighs, abdomen, breasts, or arms
- Those seeking a non-surgical solution for visible stretch marks
- Patients with good overall skin health and realistic expectations
- Most skin types can be treated, with parameters adjusted based on individual skin sensitivity
Treatment process:
- Preparation: The area is cleansed thoroughly. Topical anesthetic may be applied to reduce discomfort.
- During the session:
- The practitioner adjusts the laser settings according to the skin’s condition.
- The laser handpiece is moved across the treatment area, delivering micro pulses that create tiny thermal injuries.
- Patients may feel a warm sensation, similar to a rubber band snap.
- Post-treatment: The skin might be red, swollen, or slightly irritated, but these effects typically subside within a few hours to days. Tiny crusts or peeling may occur but are temporary.
Number of sessions and results:
- Most patients need 3 to 5 sessions, spaced about 4 to 8 weeks apart.
- Results: Significant reduction in the appearance of stretch marks, with smoother, more elastic skin. The color of the stretch marks gradually lightens, blending better with surrounding skin.
- The skin continues to improve over the following months as collagen restructuring occurs.
Aftercare and precautions:
- Keep the area clean and moisturized.
- Protect the skin from sun exposure; always apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen.
- Avoid scratching or irritating the treated skin.
- Use recommended soothing lotions or creams as advised by your practitioner.
- Expect some redness or swelling, which will naturally decrease.
- Avoid strenuous activity, hot showers, or aggressive skincare for a few days post-treatment.
