"Our advanced lasers can help reduce stretch marks after pregnancy and weight loss. It is simply not enough to undergo plastic surgery after childbirth, many of our patients take full advantage of the latest RF and laser protocols we have that can tighten and tone your body without surgery." Dr. Raffy Karamanoukian

Q: Can you explain stretch mark laser treatments? 

A: Dr. Karamanoukian: Stretch marks are caused by injury to the epidermis and dermis of the skin. At Kare Beirut, we begin treatment with Luminase and Exfolase creams followed by a protocol-based regimen that includes fractional RF and fractional laser to reduce the visibility of the stretch marks. The lasers and RF stimulate collagen production and tighten loose skin around the stretch marks.


Q: How many treatments does one need for stretch marks? 

A: Dr. Karamanoukian: We begin with three sessions of stretch mark laser followed by RF treatment. Increased skin collagen, decreased stretch marks, and tighter skin are all seen within a few weeks of the first treatment. Many of our patients in the Beirut clinic request skin tightening in addition to stretch mark treatment and we use a combination platform that includes fractional laser, nanoRF, Ultherapy, and Venus Legacy.
