Dark spots after EMATRIX Sublative Rejuvenation treatment?

Dark pigmentation after ematrix can be corrected with Melarase AM, Melarase PM, and Melapads. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian#Realself100 Surgeon

Dark Spots can be improved with a combination of lasers, Aerolase, microneedling/prp, skin lightening, peels, and skin care. Sun protection is essential. Keep in mind, stretch marks need a combination approach for improvement.I recommend a combination of microneedling/prp, lasers (Erbium/Fraxel Laser, Excel V, Pulsed Dye Laser) or radiofrequency devices. Stretch marks can't be cured and it will take a series of treatments lifelong. I recommend you see an expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer

3 weeks of hydroquinone will not give any appreciable results. Each cycle of skin growth is 180 days and several cycles of treatment may be necessary if your goal is to go through topical therapy.Try Melarase AM and PM.Contact Kare Plastic Surgery for other modalities for stretch marks: prp and lasers.

Photograph the spots, give it another 2 months, if no better, see a specialist. We can use gentle lasers like C and B or the Fraxel 1927 to help fade the spots over time. It does take at least 6 months. 
New stretch marks are easier to treat than older ones. For new stretch marks (red-purple-pink), my treatment of choice is V BEAM vascular laser combined with compounded Vitamin A creams or a cream called Stratamark. This can reduce stretch mark colour and width by up to 50% or more. 

Old stretch marks are harder to treat- my preferred option for old, white, silvery- papery stretch marks is a combination of CO2 fractional laser, or with INFINI RF and PRP. I also use Fraxel ReStore 1550, and also lasers in the 1440 to 1540 wavelength. Of all the methods I find microneedling with RF energy and PRP the best, as it has the lowest rate of skin colour changes, and the fastest healing time. Results wise, it outperforms CO2 laser! Still not a miracle cure.

The truth is that stretch mark treatments are HIGHLY variable, depending on your own immune system, your skin type and the age of the stretch marks. Some get a 30% improvement, others up to 80%. Regardless of the treatment multiple sessions are need – anywhere from 3 to 8 sessions. An assessment is the very first step. Regards,
