Stretch marks, medically termed as striate, are scars that appear when the skin is overstretched during pregnancy, weight gain or puberty.

However, it may be difficult for any one of these products to completely get rid of stretch marks. One method that has proven to extremely effective in minimizing the appearance of scarring is with "low-light" or "soft laser" treatment. Laser therapy is an advanced medical procedure that is gaining worldwide attention in recent years. Laser stretch marks removal therapy is a simple and painless cosmetic treatment, where a concentrated laser beam (low-level) is made to penetrate the layers of the skin, thereby stimulating the synthesis of collagen, formation of new tissue. The laser beams are focused particularly on the affected areas where stretch marks are present. The heat and wavelength light released by the laser beams invigorates a specific portion of the damaged tissue, which is then replaced by new skin. One laser therapy session extends for about 1 hour depending on the skin color, and the extent of tissue damage caused during formation of stretch marks. As like any other medical procedure, laser stretch marks removal does have its limitations.

Secondly, laser therapy is extremely effective to get rid of scars when they are in dark red and purple color - essentially newly formed. Older marks and scars may require specialized creams and/or microdermabrasion to promote new cell growth.
