What is STRETCH MARKS :

We have three layers of skin: the epidermis, or outer layer; the dermis, or middle layer; and the subcutaneous stratum, or deepest layer. Stretch marks (also known as stria atrophica and striae distensae) occur in the dermis, the elastic, resilient middle layer that allows skin to retain its shape. If stretch marks formed on the skin's surface, they'd be much easier to treat. When the dermis is constantly stretched over time, the skin becomes less elastic and the connective fibers break. The result is the markings we know as stretch marks.
Depending on your natural skin coloring, stretch marks begin as raised pink, reddish brown or dark brown striations that then turn a brighter violet or purple. Gradually these bright marks flatten and fade to a color a few shades lighter than your natural skin tone. They usually become less noticeable over time.
Stretch marks can appear anywhere on the body where the skin has been stretched (often as a result of weight gain). They're most likely to appear in places where fat is stored: the abdomen, breasts, upper arms, thighs and buttocks.

TREATMENT :

Laser treatments don't remove stretch marks -- they simply make them fade. The laser responds to dark colors only, so in the early stages, when stretch marks are dark red or brown, laser treatment will be effective. Faded, flesh-colored marks will probably not respond to laser treatment since they won't be easily detected. A series of treatments might be required for visible results.

According to the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, a surgeon will use different types of lasers depending on the color of the stretch marks one type reduces the color of dark stretch marks and another stimulates the production of pigment-making cells in already faded stretch marks. An even newer type of laser therapy can also be used to stimulate the production of collagen and help restore the skin's elasticity in depressed stretch marks

Vitiligo Treatment And Information

What is VITILIGO :

Vitiligo is a disease in which patients have a complete loss of pigment in localized areas of the skin. These areas, often around the mouth and eyes, become completely white. As a result, vitiligo can be cosmetically disfiguring, especially for dark skinned people. In addition, the depigmented skin is sun sensitive, and therefore, subject to sunburns and skin cancer.

Vitiligo is a process where the human body inhibits the pigment producing process of the skinˆs pigment cells. A series of excimer laser treatment can often lead to dramatic re-pigmentation of the skin. Pigment can also be lost in the skin after a variety of surgical procedures and traumatic accidents. Examples include the white scars after facelifts and aggressive facial laser procedures such as carbon dioxide laser resurfacing. A variety of burns and other traumatic accidents may also lead to hypopigmented scars.


TREATMENT :

In a recent study, vitiligo patients, most of whom had failed conventional therapies, were treated with the excimer laser three times a week. Fifty-seven percent of the vitiligo patches treated in the study experienced partial to complete repigmentation in only two weeks.

The Xtrac excimer laser represents one of the newest great advances in laser dermatology. This laser emits narrow band ultraviolet B light and has been shown to promote re-pigmentation in those who have lost pigment in their skin.

Not only does the excimer laser deliver UVB light which stimulates the pigment producing cells, this laser’s deep penetration enables the light to reach any surviving pigment producing cells in the vitiliginous area.

Treatment is undertaken in a series of laser sessions. Improvement is the general rule. Occasional touch-up booster sessions may be required. Treatment is absolutely painless
