Non-ablative Laser Treatment for Stretch Marks - Atlanta, GA

WORTH IT$850
I had a full TT with hernia repair on February 4, 2014. I had a few residual stretch marks below my new navel that I wanted to minimize. The plastic surgery practice that I used offered laser treatments right in their office. I figured I was this far into improving my appearance, why not go the extra mile?

Did you pay 800$ for all three sessions and who did you use?

Yes - it was $800 total for what ended up being 5 sessions.

You look good even prior to the laser. I see your skin looks tight just several stretch marks are noticeable. My problem seems to be that I have skin that wasn't removed when it should have been. I can grab and stretch my skin about 2-3 cms. :(. I'm gal it worked out for you

Artisan Plastic Surgery. I would say almost a year out that it was at least a 50% improvement. For me that was the difference between wearing a bikini and not. It really helped the texture. You can still see white marks in natural light (outside), but I use a light coat of BB cream on my belly.

Consults are free and they will let you know a reasonable outcome for your situation. Dr. Fishman is one who did my lasering. They also have sonething be called Rejuvapen. It is sort of a form of derma rolling. Good luck.

Inconsistent lighting like everybody else, we have no way of truly knowing if this actually worked. Stretch marks can appear so different the pictures needed to be consistent

Hard to get consistent lighting. I would say it improved the marks by 50%. I would not have felt comfortable in a bikini before. Now I do. Are the marks still there? Yes, but the texture isn't shiny and the borders of the marks aren't so sharp and severe. It also made my skin less "crepe-like". I hope that helps.

After one 1540 Palomar laser treatment

Jan40June 20, 2014
This was taken about two weeks after the first laser treatment. The day of the treatment my skin was red like a sunburn. After about a week, it all faded to my normal skin color. I could already tell at this point that the stretch marks had improved in texture and weren't so shiny in appearance.

Second treatment

So when you go for a laser treatment, the nurse first comes in and puts numbing cream all over the area to be lasered. It takes about 20-30 minutes to work. The actual lasering takes about 20 minutes. With each treatment, the PS is using a stronger setting.
