Following are some of the very basic, albeit highly important things to keep in mind before opting to treat scar/ stretch marks with laser technology.
• Be meticulous in your choice of a medical facility. Having selected an authentic and certified laser medical center with experienced surgeons will ensure that you get a customized treatment for scar/ stretch marks.
• The treatment plan will largely depend on the location and size of the scar/ stretch marks to be treated. Accordingly, duration of each session is determined. It can be between 30 to 60 minutes.
• You should have a fair idea of the processes involved in the laser treatment and how it actually feels like.
• You should check with medical experts about the treatment span and sessions that will be needed for treating scar/ stretch marks. The number of treatments for your scar/ stretch marks will usually be decided on basis of factors related to skin type and color etc.
• In most cases five to six treatments are necessary. Keep in mind the fact that they are spread out a month apart for desirable results.
• Ideally, be aware of possible side effects, if any, and how to deal with them.
• Know about the care and precautions to be taken before, after and during the laser treatment. You should get back to your daily activities or routine only as advised by experts.
