Treatments to conceal white stretch marks: Fotona

Stretch marks are indentations in the skin, like small channels that appear due to significant changes such as growth or weight gain, after pregnancy, or due to genetics. In other words, stretch marks indicate that our skin has undergone excessive stretching. They also occur due to hormonal factors and poor skin hydration. What happens is that, when the skin stretches, the skin fibers break, and scars appear, so to speak, usually on the abdomen, breasts, hips, buttocks, and thighs. And the worst part is that they don’t give any warning. We are all susceptible to waking up one day and discovering stretch marks on our bodies.

So, what options do I have when I develop stretch marks?

While it’s true that there are hundreds of stretch mark creams on the market today, the truth is that these types of treatments require a great deal of consistency and aren’t very effective. They also carry the possibility of side effects. Fortunately, in Costa Rica, at the Integral Health Clinic, we offer an exceptionally effective treatment for white stretch marks : the Fotona laser. 

But what is the Fotona laser and how does it work?

Fotona laser treatment requires no post-treatment care, is painless, applied externally, and causes no burns; it can be applied to any area, even the most delicate. Through the use of cutting-edge technology, the texture, color, and appearance of stretch marks and the surrounding tissue are visibly improved. Furthermore, laser skin tightening is a non-invasive technique applied by specialized personnel. It works by simply removing the epidermis (outer layer of skin) to realign the skin, which promotes new and healthy growth, diminishing or concealing the white stretch marks that bother us so much. Due to these advantages, the media has reported that many celebrities have switched from plastic surgery to Fotona laser treatment. However, it is important to schedule several sessions to achieve maximum results. The number of sessions depends on the severity and number of stretch marks, but Fotona offers results from the first session, achieving skin retraction.
