Treatment of striae (“stretch marks”)
One of the most exciting applications of Fractional Laser Resurfacing Treatments (e.g. Fraxel®, ActiveFXTM, Lux 1540TM, AffirmTM, ProFractionalTM) is for the treatment of striae (“stretch marks”). The Maryland Plastic Surgery Center is enrolling patients from Annapolis, Baltimore, Columbia, Ellicot City, Towson and surrounding areas for a study to evaluate the the appearance and texture of mature (white) striae after 3 treatments performed at moderate settings.
(Note: early results from pilot studies demonstrate an improvement in the depth, width and texture of stria. Although, post-treatment redness in stria persists longer than on the face, the redness completely fades over time.)
