Stretch marks are caused by a rapid expansion of skin due to pregnancy, weight gain or fast growth.
Stretch Marks have been impossible to treat until the recent development of “Pixel” Laser Resurfacing
and Accent XL technology. With these new methods for the treatment of Stretch Marks, procedures can
be completed in as little as 6 treatments.
Unlike traditional treatments like stretch mark creams and gels, lasers and radio frequency (RF)
devices are used to resurface the skin and to stimulate new collagen growth which actually fill the
stretch mark from the bottom up. The Accent XL radio frequency (RF) energy is absorbed in the dermal
layer of the skin stimulating the production of new collagen while offering volumetric fat reduction.
Patients will experience swelling and crusting of the treated area for about 10 to 14 days after each
treatment. Sun exposure must be avoided during the entire process of the stretch mark treatment. While
everyone will not have 100% reduction in their stretch marks, the treatment combining “Pixel” laser
resurfacing and Accent XL volume reduction is the best treatment available today and brings about dramatic
results.
