Ideal Treatment For:

Stretch mark revision with Aerolase is ideal for individuals who want a non-invasive, gentle, and effective treatment to reduce the appearance of stretch marks. Aerolase uses advanced 650-microsecond laser technology with a 1064 nm wavelength to stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and fade stretch marks. It is safe for all skin types and tones, making it an attractive option for many people.

Here’s who would benefit most from stretch mark revision with Aerolase:

1. Individuals with Newer (Red or Purple) Stretch Marks

• What it treats: Newer stretch marks that are red or purple in color (known as striae rubra) are more responsive to treatment, as they are in the early stages of formation. Aerolase can reduce inflammation and stimulate collagen production to improve the appearance of these marks.
• Ideal candidate: People with recently formed stretch marks that are still red or purple are great candidates, as Aerolase can effectively reduce their appearance by promoting collagen production and reducing discoloration.

2. People with Older (White or Silver) Stretch Marks

• What it treats: Older stretch marks (known as striae alba), which are white or silver, can still be treated with Aerolase to improve skin texture and reduce their visibility, although they may require more sessions.
• Ideal candidate: Individuals with older, mature stretch marks who want to improve the texture of their skin and make the stretch marks less visible will benefit from Aerolase, which can promote new collagen formation and improve skin appearance over time.

3. Those Seeking a Non-Invasive, Pain-Free Option

• What it treats: Aerolase offers a non-invasive, pain-free treatment for stretch marks with minimal discomfort and no downtime. The laser energy gently penetrates the skin without causing damage or requiring recovery time.
• Ideal candidate: People who prefer a non-invasive, comfortable treatment that doesn't require anesthesia or recovery time are ideal candidates for Aerolase. It's a suitable option for those who want to avoid more invasive or painful procedures like microneedling or chemical peels.

4. Individuals with All Skin Types

• What it treats: Aerolase’s 1064 nm laser technology is safe for all skin types, including darker skin tones, which are often more sensitive to other laser treatments. The technology minimizes the risk of pigmentation changes or burns.
• Ideal candidate: People with darker skin tones or sensitive skin who may not be suitable for other laser treatments are excellent candidates for Aerolase. The 650-microsecond pulses ensure that the treatment is safe and effective for all skin types, without the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

5. People with Mild to Moderate Stretch Marks

• What it treats: Aerolase is particularly effective for individuals with mild to moderate stretch marks, where the skin is still relatively intact, and there is a need to improve skin texture and reduce visible scarring.
• Ideal candidate: People who have mild to moderate stretch marks, especially in areas like the abdomen, thighs, hips, or breasts, will benefit from Aerolase's ability to stimulate collagen and improve skin tone and texture.

6. Individuals Seeking Skin Rejuvenation Along with Stretch Mark Treatment

• What it treats: Aerolase not only targets stretch marks but also rejuvenates the skin by stimulating collagen, tightening the skin, and improving skin tone and texture overall.
• Ideal candidate: Individuals looking for both stretch mark reduction and overall skin rejuvenation—such as tightening and smoothing the skin—are ideal candidates for Aerolase. This makes it a good choice for people who want to address both stretch marks and general skin quality in the treated area.

7. Those with Sensitive Skin

• What it treats: Aerolase is gentle enough for sensitive skin. Its 650-microsecond pulse duration reduces discomfort and the risk of skin irritation, making it suitable for those with delicate or sensitive skin.
• Ideal candidate: People with sensitive or delicate skin who are concerned about the side effects of more aggressive treatments, such as chemical peels or microneedling, will find Aerolase to be a comfortable and effective option for stretch mark revision.

8. Individuals Seeking a Quick and Convenient Treatment

• What it treats: Aerolase offers quick treatments, often lasting only 15–30 minutes depending on the size of the area being treated. There is no downtime, so patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure.
• Ideal candidate: People with busy schedules who want an efficient, quick treatment that fits into their routine without requiring recovery time are ideal candidates for Aerolase. This is especially beneficial for individuals who prefer minimal disruption to their daily activities.

9. People Looking for Gradual, Natural-Looking Results

• What it treats: Aerolase provides gradual improvement in the appearance of stretch marks. With multiple sessions, patients can achieve natural-looking results over time as the skin produces more collagen and repairs itself.
• Ideal candidate: Individuals who are seeking gradual, subtle improvements rather than dramatic, immediate changes are excellent candidates for Aerolase. The treatment’s effects build over time, leading to smoother, more even-toned skin.

10. Those with Realistic Expectations

• What it treats: Like other stretch mark revision treatments, Aerolase reduces the appearance of stretch marks but does not completely eliminate them. The treatment improves skin texture, smoothness, and tone.
• Ideal candidate: People with realistic expectations who understand that while Aerolase can significantly improve the appearance of stretch marks, it may not completely remove them, are the best candidates for this treatment.

How it Works

Aerolase stretch mark revision works by using a specialized 1064 nm Nd

laser with 650-microsecond technology to stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and reduce the appearance of stretch marks. This non-invasive treatment gently delivers laser energy to the skin, targeting the affected areas without causing damage to the surrounding tissue. It’s effective for both new (red or purple) and older (white or silver) stretch marks, offering a safe and comfortable option for a wide range of skin types.

1. Laser Technology

• Nd1064 nm wavelength: Aerolase uses a 1064 nm wavelength, which is ideal for penetrating deeper layers of the skin. This allows the laser to reach the dermis, where stretch marks form, without damaging the surface of the skin. It is safe for all skin types and tones, including darker skin, as it minimizes the risk of pigmentation issues.
• 650-microsecond pulses: The laser energy is delivered in ultra-short bursts (650 microseconds), which allows the treatment to be gentle on the skin while still being effective. These rapid pulses of energy target the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production without overheating or causing damage to the surrounding tissue.

2. Targeting Stretch Marks

• Focus on the dermal layer: Stretch marks occur in the dermal layer of the skin when the connective tissue is stretched rapidly due to factors like pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or growth spurts. The Aerolase laser specifically targets this layer to stimulate the skin’s natural healing process and promote collagen and elastin production.
• Reduction of discoloration: For newer, red or purple stretch marks, Aerolase helps reduce inflammation and pigmentation by targeting the blood vessels that cause discoloration. This helps fade the red or purple hue, making the stretch marks less noticeable over time.

3. Collagen Stimulation

• Stimulating new collagen: One of the key mechanisms of Aerolase is its ability to stimulate the production of new collagen in the treated areas. Collagen is a protein that helps maintain the skin’s structure and elasticity. By encouraging collagen growth, the skin becomes smoother, firmer, and more even in tone.
• Improving skin texture: As collagen is produced, the skin begins to repair itself, filling in the gaps and improving the texture of the stretch marks. This helps to reduce the depth of the marks and make the skin appear more uniform and smooth.

4. Non-Invasive and Gentle

• No skin damage: Unlike more aggressive laser treatments or microneedling, Aerolase’s 650-microsecond pulses are gentle and non-invasive. This means that the surface of the skin is not damaged, and the treatment is comfortable for the patient.
• Minimal discomfort: The ultra-short laser pulses minimize discomfort during the procedure. Most patients describe the sensation as a warm, gentle pulse, with little to no pain. There is also no need for anesthesia or numbing creams, making the process quick and straightforward.

5. Treatment of All Skin Types

• Safe for all skin tones: The 1064 nm wavelength used in Aerolase treatments is highly safe for darker skin tones, which can be more prone to pigmentation changes or burns with other laser treatments. Aerolase’s technology minimizes the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, making it suitable for individuals with light, medium, and dark skin tones.
• Effective for new and old stretch marks: Whether the stretch marks are new (red or purple) or older (white or silver), Aerolase can help improve their appearance by stimulating collagen, reducing pigmentation, and smoothing the skin.

6. Gradual Improvement Over Multiple Sessions

• Series of treatments: Aerolase stretch mark revision typically requires a series of treatments to achieve optimal results. Most patients need between 3–6 sessions, spaced a few weeks apart, to see noticeable improvement in the appearance of their stretch marks.
• Natural-looking results: The results are gradual, with the skin improving over time as collagen production increases. This leads to natural-looking results, where the stretch marks become less visible and the skin’s texture improves without drastic or immediate changes.

7. No Downtime

• Resume normal activities: One of the key benefits of Aerolase stretch mark revision is that there is no downtime after the procedure. Patients can return to their normal activities immediately following treatment. There may be mild redness or slight warmth in the treated area, but this typically subsides within a few hours.
• No recovery needed: Unlike more invasive treatments, there is no need for recovery time, and there are no significant side effects, such as peeling or swelling, making it a convenient option for people with busy lifestyles.

8. Long-Lasting Effects

• Sustained collagen production: As the laser stimulates collagen production, the skin continues to improve in the weeks following each session. Over time, the new collagen helps to smooth and firm the skin, leading to long-lasting improvement in the appearance of stretch marks.
• Maintenance: While the results are long-lasting, some patients may choose to undergo maintenance treatments to further enhance or sustain their results, especially if new stretch marks appear due to pregnancy or weight fluctuations.
