Stretching (or striae) is another specialization of Palomar. Doctor Igor Antoshok, having examined the work area, was pleased: my striae are not too pronounced and can be corrected by grinding with a fractional laser. To date, this is the most effective method of dealing with stretch marks, especially if they are relatively young (1.5-2 years). Older striae are also amenable to action - immediately and completely they, of course, will not go away, but they will become equal, become less noticeable. Other methods (mesotherapy, vacuum massage) are either not so effective, or too traumatic. As, for example, classical laser resurfacing, in which the layer of skin is completely removed and rehabilitation is required for at least a month. The principle of the "Palomar" involves the gradual replacement of the skin with a portion controlled burn, which triggers the synthesis of collagen and elastin, stimulates the growth of new tissue. In this case, the epidermis remains intact.
It's time to experience the abilities of "Palomar" on yourself . Special doctor touched the skin, as if quilting it, and at the same time told what was going on. A high-intensity laser microbe is delivered from the device, penetrating the skin by 1 mm (this depth ensures the highest efficiency of the procedure). The water in the cells absorbs the rays and heats up to 7C, which causes damage to the skin. There is nothing wrong with this peg, on the contrary - new collagen and elastin are being developed. Gradually, the old cloth is replaced with a new, young and smooth. Burns and pain can not be feared - thanks to a special cooling system, the invention of the manufacturer "Palomar." It not only protects from burns, but also relieves painful sensations, unlike other lasers.
The complexity of the process did not frighten me, I felt only a slight tingling. The whole procedure took about an hour. Finally, the doctor ironed the skin with a special cooling roller to calm the epidermis and prevent swelling, then applied thermal water and Panthenol. Igor warned me that grinding dehydrates the skin, so she needs a lot of moisturizing. For this, in the first three days it is more often (at least every half hour) to apply thermal water and then a moisturizer, ideally with hyaluronic acid.
Within 20-30 days the process of renewal and formation of a new tissue is underway. And to completely get rid of striae, you need from 3 to 6 procedures, if the stretch marks are very noticeable and fairly old, then more; the exact number is determined by the doctor individually for each patient. I did not feel any significant discomfort, only a slight swelling and slight redness lasted a couple of days. In the rest everything was unchanged: I wore my favorite things and thoroughly moisturized the skin. Exactly a month later I went through another procedure. A few weeks later, examining myself in the mirror, I saw that the skin became smoother, and the stretch marks - almost invisible. It's only the beginning?!
