Fractional laser technologies are becoming more and more in demand in cosmetology every year. The success of laser procedures is associated with maximum safety and comfort of exposure with excellent results.
Devices that implement the principle of fractional, rather than volumetric, heating of skin tissue are now a panacea for a wide variety of aesthetic problems: from wrinkles and age spots to scars and stretch marks.
Stretch marks on the skin are perhaps the second most common problem faced by the fair sex. It is second only to cellulite. Today there is only one way to solve the problem of stretch marks - laser.

About the problem
Stretch marks (or stretch marks) are areas of atrophied skin in the form of white or purple stripes.
Stretch marks appear as a result of microtraumas to the skin and underlying structures with a sharp increase in weight as a result of pregnancy, intense sports, or a significant increase in the volume of the fat layer. In addition, stretch marks occur with some genetic and endocrine diseases.
Until recently, it was possible to get rid of stretch marks forever only with the help of cosmetic surgeries, which in turn did not guarantee healing without scars. Massages, wraps and mesotherapy have an excellent strengthening effect on the skin, protecting against the appearance of new stretch marks, but only reduce the severity of existing defects.
Fortunately, today the technology of fractional photothermolysis has appeared in the arsenal of aesthetic clinics, which can get rid of the oldest or brightest stretch marks in just 3-5 procedures.
Fractional mesotherapy for stretch marks. Confident skin restoration.
Stretch marks, those same unsightly strips of untanned skin that appear when it ruptures from prolonged stretching. Stretch marks are most often associated with physical changes: due to rapid growth, muscle building, weight gain, pregnancy or even puberty. Although they are not usually a cause of physical problems requiring medical attention, many people feel embarrassed by the appearance of stretch marks on their bodies and would like them to become less noticeable or even disappear completely.
Retinoids, dermabrasion, or laser resurfacing are commonly used to improve the appearance of stretch marks, but there is still no gold standard treatment. These methods may be ineffective in some cases or, as with lasers, bring with them potential side effects and risks that some patients are not willing to accept. Lasers are also limited in their ability to treat darker skin because the energy required to effectively treat can cause inflammation, and in the case of stretch marks, the skin to be treated is often very sensitive and thin. Numerous creams are also available, but their effectiveness is questionable at best.
One truly safe, effective solution for stretch marks on almost everyone is fractional therapy with Dermapen. The Dermapen's motorized oscillating drive has many tiny, ultra-thin surgical steel needles at its tip that pierce the skin at lightning speed to make thousands of tiny punctures as the device passes over the skin. With a local anesthetic, the sensations are comfortable and painless, and tiny wounds heal quickly, visually traces of the effect disappear in a day or less. This microtrauma stimulates the body's natural healing processes without actually damaging the skin. The healing process produces newer, healthier skin. This type of treatment is called collagen therapy. In addition, Dermapen treatment may include the use of a special serum, which, due to the numerous micro-holes in the skin created by Dermapen, will penetrate and act more effectively. Treatment with Dermapen is relatively inexpensive.
One of the potential side effects of other treatments (other than fractional mesotherapy) is post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which is more common in patients with this problem and is quite difficult to treat. With the help of Dermapen, the nature of micro-destruction creates conditions favorable for the correct response to treatment.
With 5 or 6 sessions spaced about four weeks between treatments, patients will be pleased with the way stretch marks fade and skin texture improves. Some patients report differences after one treatment, but full results occur several weeks after the final treatment session.

About Fraxel Fractional Laser
The most famous, easy-to-use, high-quality and proven device over many years of use is the Fraxel re:store DUAL device.
The device uses two lasers at once: erbium and thulium. The first emits a stream of light with a wavelength of 1550 nm, “attacking” the water located in the deep layers of the dermis. It forms coagulation zones (microthermal treatment zones), specifically destroying connective tissue fibers and stimulating the formation of new collagen and elastin by surrounding intact tissues, thus restoring youth and elasticity to the skin. The second, thulium laser, due to its wavelength of 1927 nm, affects the surface layers of the epidermis, eliminating uneven texture and tone of the skin.
The effect of using Fraxel to remove stretch marks is due to the effect of the laser on the mechanism of pathogenesis of this unpleasant phenomenon.
Stretch marks occur due to insufficient function of fibroblasts that synthesize collagen and elastin. Therefore, when the skin is mechanically stretched in response to mass growth, microscopic tears occur and are replaced by scar connective tissue.
Preparations for mesotherapy for stretch marks
Various meso-cocktails are used around the world with greater or lesser effectiveness. Marina Ryabus Clinic uses mesotherapy mainly to improve the health of facial skin and rejuvenate the skin of the eyelids. To correct stretch marks, we can offer:

Types of mesotherapy
Mesotherapy as a cosmetology technique is at the stage of active development. Today, there are the following types of procedures, which are distinguished depending on the equipment used:
- Injection. The drugs are administered subcutaneously using thin needles. It should be noted that the manipulations are painful. Bruises remain at the injection site. To eliminate discomfort, anesthetics are used (locally). After the procedure, restorative agents are used.
- Factional. Correction of stretch marks and stretch marks using fractional mesotherapy delivers drugs to the required depth to achieve results. This depth is 0.5 mm. The specialist injects acupuncture needles into predetermined areas. There is no noticeable discomfort. This variety is one of the most effective. One of the positive aspects is also the low consumption of medicines.
- Hardware. Treatment is carried out without injections, and drugs are delivered to the desired areas using special equipment. During the procedures, electroporation, oxymesotherapy and ultrasound are used. The therapy is painless, highly effective and reduces the risk of side effects and serious complications.
- Mesoscooter. A mesor roller is required for sessions. This is a small roller equipped with needles with a length of 1-2.5 mm (450 pcs.). The advantage of this manipulation is that it can be used at home.
Attention! The cost of mesotherapy often depends on the type of manipulation used.
How does the procedure for correcting stretch marks using mesotherapy work?
How the mesotherapy session will take place:
- After consultation, in the absence of contraindications, the doctor will give you a disposable set of underwear and invite you to lie down in a comfortable chair.
- The injection area is cleaned and disinfected.
- The drug is opened in front of you - a meso-cocktail selected by a doctor.
- In a small volume, the drug is sequentially injected under the skin to a depth of up to 4 mm on average. The injections are well tolerated. Local anesthesia may be used.
- At the end of the session, the skin is re-treated, the doctor gives recommendations, and you leave the clinic.
Cost of mesotherapy procedure for stretch marks
It is impossible to predict how much mesotherapy for stretch marks will cost in a particular case - it depends on the area of the treatment area, how old the stretch marks are, and the type of drug.

- micro-needle RF lifting Secret;
- hardware lifting Ultherapy (Altera device).

When is mesotherapy effective?
Course mesotherapy procedures allow you to cope with stretch marks of any localization. Some experts believe that it is better to resort to the injection method after less radical measures have been tried - special creams, massages and wraps, others - that one should not waste time and allow the stretch marks to strengthen under the skin.
At whatever point you decide to carry out procedures, mesotherapy will help you: it can cope with even the deepest and most extensive stretch marks, but this will require more sessions, and therefore financial investments.
Thus, getting rid of unexpressed stretch marks from the skin of the abdomen and chest after pregnancy can take up to 10 procedures, and to get rid of old and bluish deep stripes, the course can be extended to 15-20 sessions.
The duration of the course and the frequency of sessions will be determined by the cosmetologist after examining your problem areas. At the same stage, the specialist will select the optimal compositions for eliminating stretch marks and the injection technique.
Skin care after the procedure
- The injection sites should not be touched or scratched with dirty hands.
- Bruises and other injection marks cannot be masked with decorative cosmetics.
- Sunbathing is not allowed. When going out in the sun, use a cream with UV protection.
- Use products prescribed by your doctor to relieve redness, swelling, and resolve bruises.
If you are simultaneously undergoing a course of other procedures - hardware, laser, injection, be sure to inform your doctor about this before the first mesotherapy session. Your clinic schedule may need to be adjusted.
Possible side effects
After injections, unwanted reactions may occur, which usually include:
- pain due to irritation when a needle is inserted under the skin (goes away on its own within a few days);
- the occurrence of bruises and hematomas in the case of deep injection of mesococktails;
- the appearance of erythema, implying redness in the injection area (observed within a few minutes after administration of the drugs);
- skin necrosis, which means the death of areas of the skin and requires emergency medical and surgical treatment;
- swelling that appears a few days after the session.
Important! During treatment, various allergic reactions cannot be excluded: rash, burning, anaphylactic shock. Typically, complications arise due to the inexperience of the specialist and gross violations in the process of mesotherapy.
Stretch mark removal – unsurpassed efficiency
Fractional RF microneedling is by far the most effective method in treating old stretch marks. Patients, especially those who have struggled with this problem for a long time using other methods, watch its results with delight and surprise.
The effects are visible after the first procedure, but the full series of treatment is 2-3 procedures. The inflammation that develops inside the skin lasts about a month, and the final effect is visible two to three months after the last procedure. Radiofrequency microneedles can cure up to 100% of atrophic stretch marks that are incurable by other methods. The effectiveness of RF microneedles lies in the active stimulation directly in the stretch, and not next to it.
The rapidly growing popularity of this procedure is that it is safe and cures much faster than other methods. Also, the fractional micro-needle radiofrequency system works great not only against stretch marks, but also lifts the face, treats hyperhidrosis, reduces pores, wrinkles and scars.
This method has only one drawback - it is so innovative, and the equipment is so expensive that it is only available in some clinics.
Contraindications
The method is not used when:
- pregnancy, breastfeeding;
- ARVI;
- exacerbation of chronic diseases;
- individual intolerance to the components of the drug;
- high temperature;
- pathologies of the cardiovascular system;
- lung diseases;
- oncology;
- diabetes mellitus;
- cholelithiasis;
- blood clotting disorders.
Mesotherapy for stretch marks is not performed on patients under 18 years of age. This service is also usually not provided to women and men over 60 years of age, since the effectiveness of the method during this period is very low.
