Treatments to reduce stretch marks in Beaulieu sur Mer

stretch marks

Stretch marks, the skin stigmata affecting more than half of adult women, bear witness to the major stages of life while often giving rise to a feeling of aesthetic discomfort.

Between 50 and 70% of women claim to suffer from stretch marks, which are transfixing fractures of the entire height of the dermis, reflecting a lack of skin elasticity.

Progression of stretch marks

In the early stages, they have a purplish appearance, gradually changing to a pearly white colour in the permanent end stage. These indelible marks are often the result of significant weight fluctuations, hormonal changes or the taking of certain treatments, such as corticosteroids.

Appropriate treatment protocol

Although it is difficult to completely prevent the appearance of stretch marks, aesthetic medicine offers effective solutions for considerably reducing them. Early treatment, especially at the reddish-purple stage, involves the use of several synergistic treatments, offering optimal results.

Carboxytherapy combats stretch marks by injecting CO2 to boost collagen. Effective on both recent and old marks, it requires several sessions (6-10) with a professional. Although minimally invasive and safe for all skin types, it is not without its costs and mild side effects (redness, swelling).
Carboxytherapy is considered to be one of the most effective treatments for stretch marks. It can improve the appearance of new and old stretch marks, reducing their width, depth and colour.

Benefits

  • Effective treatment for new and old stretch marks
  • Visible improvement in the appearance of the skin
  • Stimulation of collagen and elastin production
  • Minimally invasive procedure
    Suitable for all skin types

Radiofrequency microneedling is an innovative technique that is proving promising for the treatment of stretch marks. By combining the benefits of microneedling and radiofrequency, it stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, two proteins essential for firm, elastic skin.

Microneedling uses fine needles to create micro-perforations in the skin, encouraging the body to initiate a natural healing process.

Radiofrequency, on the other hand, delivers thermal energy into the deeper layers of the skin, reinforcing the action of microneedling and remodelling the dermis.

By combining these two technologies, radiofrequency microneedling can significantly reduce the depth, width and colour of stretch marks. This treatment is minimally invasive, customisable and adaptable to different skin types and stretch marks.

CO2 laser resurfacing is an effective treatment for stretch marks. It uses an ablative fractional laser to create more or less deep vaporisation wells depending on the indication, which stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. This reduces the appearance of stretch marks and improves skin texture.
CO2 laser resurfacing is an ablative treatment, which means that it removes part of the skin. This leads to the expected side effects that reflect the effectiveness of the treatment, such as redness, swelling and crusting. It is important to follow Dr Filippini’s instructions carefully after treatment to minimise the risk of complications.

LED photobiomodulation is a non-invasive, painless technique that uses light-emitting diodes to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin in the skin. This technique shows promise in reducing stretch marks by improving the appearance and texture of the skin.
The principle is based on the emission of a soft, cold light by LEDs of different colours (red, yellow, infrared) that penetrates the deep layers of the skin. This light stimulates the fibroblasts responsible for producing collagen and elastin, two proteins essential for skin elasticity and firmness.

Stimulating the production of collagen and elastin helps to redensify the skin, reduce the width and depth of stretch marks and improve the appearance of the skin.

Advantages

  • Non-invasive, painless treatment
  • No side effects
  • Suitable for all skin types
  • Can be used on the face and body
  • Visible results after several sessions
