It is easier to prevent emergence of extensions, than then to try to get rid of them. Various creams and massages are only capable to increase elasticity of skin and to make ugly lines on stomach, breast and hips less noticeable, but it is completely possible to remove striya only by means of the qualified cosmetologist. The mesotherapy, microdermabrasion, but the best effect are applied to fight against extensions it is observed after laser correction.
How does the procedure take place?
Extensions delete by means of laser grinding during which the skin blanket completely is removed, at the same time also the cicatricial fabric forming extensions collapses. The fabrics destroyed by the laser are substituted healthy, skin takes smoothness and healthy form. The beam of the laser not only evaporates connecting fabric, but also stimulates formation of collagenic fibers, increasing elasticity of skin and accelerating its restoration.
Procedure advantage – in her low morbidity: operation of the laser causes weak pricking, local anesthesia is required seldom. Patients well transfer laser grinding, the effect of it becomes noticeable after the first procedure.
The number of procedures and their duration depends on the area of leather which is required to be subjected to grinding and from "age" of extensions. The more time has passed from emergence of defect, the longer it should be eliminated.
From 3 to 10 procedures at an interval of 3-4 weeks are usually carried out, on average duration of each procedure does not exceed hour.
The newest method of removal of extensions by means of the laser – fractional photothermolysis. This approach assumes drawing microdamages of blanket of skin, at the same time the laser beam is divided by means of special nozzle, forming the smallest grid, and gets into skin on small depth. The photothermolysis has no side effects peculiar to usual laser grinding, restoration after it demands less time, besides, the procedure of photothermolysis is almost painless. Its only shortcoming – high cost: one procedure of laser grinding costs not less than hundred dollars depending on the sizes of the necessary site and how many it will be required procedures, it can become clear only in the course of work.
