Biological Procedure for Stretch Mark Removal
Saturday, April 11th, 2009
Stretch marks or commonly called as Striae are some ugly spots on the skin which can be removed easily by some methods. The stretch mark removal is biological processes which take place in some upper layers of that part of skin which is affected. The lost collagen is replaced by new collagen in the dermis layer of the skin. After this, the skin is tightened to bring back the stretched skin together. Medical technology has been advanced to a great extent all over the world and founded various ways to produce a new collagen in the dermis of skin and to tighten the skin.
Heat from lasers of infrared energy or by any other heat energy source is used for this purpose. Minimum 66 degrees centigrade heat is required for this purpose. When this amount of heat is being provided to the collagen in the dermis of skin, some biological changes occur in the collagen like shrinking, tightening, stimulation, etc and form a new collagen. Skin rejuvenation, skin
Tightening, and wrinkle removal treatments also use the same principle of heat and laser to cure the infected person. Starlux which comes in two models1540 and 2940, Fraxel repair, ActiveFX, Refirme, Affirm, Thermage, and LuxIR Deep technologies are the major examples of the medical technologies used.
