Laser Stretch Mark Removal Facts
A stretch mark (Striae-either white or red) can appear when your skin is stretched normal through sudden weight changes or pregnancy. The glucocorticoid hormones responsible for the development of stretch marks affect the dermis by preventing the fibroblasts from forming collagen and elastin fibers, necessary to keep rapidly growing skin taut. This creates a lack of supportive material, as the skin is stretched and leads to dermal and epidermal tearing.
The marks can be unsightly and they are actually scars that appear on the top skin layer. The scars appear because of the fact that the tissue will grow rapidly and the skin does not manage to grow as fast. The result is basically a scar. Stretch marks are usually red or become silvery white over time. The good news is that we have many ways to get rid of them. One of the most popular methods is laser stretch mark removal.
Laser Treatment
Laser stretch mark removal is one of the really effective methods to eliminate stretch marks and scars. There is currently only one FDA approved laser that removes stretchmarks permanently which is the Fractional 1540 Laser by Palomar Medical which removes 50-90% of stretchmarks in 3-5 treatments on average. We can say that the laser is wavelenhths of light that create columns of coagulated tissue in the dermis in order to regenerate damaged skin. The scar tissue is disrupted, pushed out and replaced by new healthy tissue and cells a fraction at a time.. Scar damage is thus eliminated. The stretchmarks will fade over treatments.
These treatments may be performed by a Nurse Practitioner, PA or Physician. One procedure can last 15 to 60 minutes and the skin will usually be red or swollen 2-3 days after. The procedure is mainly painless and requires little downtime with fabulous results.
Laser stretch mark removal is actually one of the most recommended methods to get rid of those marks. Lotions do not work because they can't penetrate deep enough.
You have to limit sun exposure after the treatment. For more information go to www.palomarmedical.com or www.winterparklaser.com

How to Resolve Common Male Body Issues
Winter Park Laser & Anti-Aging Center has been treating patients with medical spa cosmetic treatments for nearly 8 years and has noticed that men sometimes have just as many body issues as women do. Fortunately, there are non-surgical options to solve these body issues.
One major issue that bothers men is excess body hair-many times on the back, chest, or arms. Laser Hair Removal is a great and quick way to rid excess hair within 6 treatments and is a more long term solution than waxing or shaving.
Another issue that often bothers men is "love handles" or excess fat around their abdoment that they can not remove through exercise or diet. Velashape II is an amazing non-invasive approach that melts the fat through infrared light, tightens the skin and helps the body to lose inches and rid the fat through the lymphatic system with only five to ten treatments on average.
Stretchmarks are often a common insecurity for men just as much as they are for women. Many men get them from weight gains, weight loss, or weight-lifting. Palomar 1540 Fractional Laser Resurfacing is the only laser currently FDA approved to remove stretchmarks through a series of four treatments that resurface the skin providing new elastyn, collagen and tissue to permanently remove or reduce unwanted stretchmarks.
Our society is not becoming much more acceptable to men receiving cosmetic treatments as they are to women. Winter Park Laser offers complimentary skin analyses and consultations for men and women struggling with body issues.
