Stretch Marks the Spot

April 1, 2011 By Bio-Medicine.Org

NEW YORK, April 1, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Men and women of all
sizes are plagued with dreaded stretch marks and the process of
eliminating them is often confusing, time consuming and lacks
results.  Common known yet non-effective remedies like
utilizing Vitamin E and Cocoa Butter, tanning the skin and daily
exfoliation have no proven effect. To get skin to bounce back from
stretch marks takes a simple process that utilizes a
state-of-the-art Fractional CO2 Laser.

At the Body Contouring Center at the renowned JUVA Skin and
Laser Center in New York, an unparalleled and comprehensive
facility for skin treatments, Dr. Bruce Katz regularly puts his
patients on a quick and easy path to lessening the appearance of
stretch marks, no matter the size, color or depth.  The
tearing of the dermis layer of skin causes this condition and is
often the result of the rapid expansion of the skin associated with
growth during puberty or weight gain from pregnancy or strength
training.

Laser energy in a Fractional CO2 Laser is used to stimulate
collagen growth and help raise the depressed areas of the skin to
minimize the appearance of stretch marks.  This fast and
non-invasive procedure uses a large beam of light to create
microscopic wounds in the skin. The stimulation of new collagen
repairs stretch marks and restores skin elasticity.

“Stretch marks are a universal problem among men and women
regardless of their age, weight or body type,” said Dr. Katz,
Director of the Body Contouring Center at JUVA.  “There is no
at-home cure for stretch marks but using a Fractional CO2 Laser is
the most effective treatment available today that delivers
outstanding results with minimal to no recovery time.”

Skin will appear red and swollen for 1 – 2 days following
the treatment and, depending on the size and color of the stretch
marks, a series of 2 – 4 treatments is recommended.
