Fractional CO2 laser for stretch mark removal
Usually, stretch marks and deep wrinkles don’t get reduced with pulsed or lasers because they produce energy of short wavelength while the fractional CO2 laser has a longer wavelength and it penetrates deeper into the skin safely without harming the surrounding cells.
The beam of fractionated laser is broken into small and thin shafts of light and each shaft acts on a small channel of tissue and treats them.
The body responds to this treatment by initiating a self-healing procedure means the body sends nutrients to the affected area and heals it. And the surrounding tissue starts to reproduce by itself and then new growth of cells replaces the damaged tissues.
The fractional laser also works on collagen induction therapy, collagen induction therapy means stimulating collagen production more densely. The fractionated laser is used to break the existing collagen and then it stimulates the production of new collagen actively and denser
