Why do cracks occur?
Although it is believed that skin cracks are related to weight, this is not always the case. Cracks occur as a result of thinning of the skin and deformation of collagen and elastic fibers. When people with inelastic skin structure gain rapid weight, rapid increase in height, or rapid weight gain during adolescence, a cracked appearance appears in the body.
Cracks are also seen in patients using cortisone drugs and having hormonal problems. The fracture problem is usually seen in the hip, abdomen, chest, arm, and back of the knee. The cracks turn pink and red in the first stage and turn white over time.
Mesotherapy treatment for stretch marks
You can evaluate the method of mesotherapy for the non-surgical treatment of cracks. Mesotherapy will be an appropriate option for the abdomen, waist, hips, arms, and breasts where stretch marks are most common. For the treatment of cracks with mesotherapy, chemical drugs are injected into the area where the cracks are intense using fine-tipped needles. Thanks to mesotherapy, the production of collagen under the skin is stimulated and the skin renews itself.
The mesotherapy method is especially ideal for people whose stretch marks have not yet turned white and have red and pink tones. If you want to control your cracks from the first appearance and prevent them from becoming permanent, we recommend an application of mesotherapy. With mesotherapy, you should have crack treatment once a week for 6 sessions. You should protect the application area from the sun for the first few days after mesotherapy.
Fractional laser treatment of cracks
The fractional laser is one of the most effective methods of treating cracks. In this treatment, under the effect of heat, the collagen is shortened and the collagen tightened. With the production of collagen and elastic fibers, the skin renews itself. Thus, the appearance of cracks on the body is reduced.
The fractional laser is divided into two groups. One is the fractional laser using wavelengths of 1440nm, 1540nm, 1550nm, and the other is the 2940nm, 2970nm erbium lasers, 10600nm carbon dioxide laser. The CO2 laser method, which has a high wavelength, creates a more effective result in the treatment of cracks because it helps peel the skin.
We recommend that you have an average of 4 to 6 sessions of fractional laser for the treatment of stretch marks. There should be a 1.5 month delay between each session. If you want, you can combine laser treatment with mesotherapy to achieve more effective and faster result for your stretch marks.
Fractional laser treatment should be applied by experts. In the wrong laser treatment, spots can appear on your skin and the recovery period can be prolonged.
Golden needle application
The golden needle treatment ensures renewal and firming of the skin. The gold needle radio frequency device reaches under the skin via micro-needles. Gold needles are applied to the cracked area and micro-holes are created on the surface of the skin. The production of collagen and elastin is accelerated in the dermis thanks to a radiofrequency sent under the skin. In the golden needle method, collagen production is stimulated and the skin begins to heal itself.
For the treatment of stretch marks, you can have 3 sessions of gold injections 3-4 weeks apart. After application, the diameter of the cracks becomes smaller and the color of the cracks becomes blurry, and the body aims to look more flawless. It is normal for your skin to turn red for 3-4 hours after receiving a gold needle. You can have crack treatment with a gold needle all year round, you don’t need to take a break in the summer.
Abdominal aesthetics
In abdominal surgery, the cracked skin is removed from the body with surgery. Abdominoplasty is the most effective and long-lasting treatment for the treatment of cracks. We recommend this method especially for those with sagging abdominal skin and severe fractures in the abdominal area.
The abdominal skin is deformed after childbirth or after excessive weight gain and loss. When the abdominal wall loses elasticity, a cracked appearance occurs. The pink and red tones of stretch marks turn white at an advanced stage. We recommend the treatment of cracks by abdominoplasty for our patients who suffer from this condition.
Abdominal surgery is performed under general anesthesia in a hospital setting. An incision resembling a caesarean scar is made and the cracked abdominal skin is cut and removed. The skin above the navel is stretched to make the abdomen appear flat and shaped. In abdominal surgery, your suture scar will not be obvious when seen from the outside because it stays under your underwear.
Those who have had a tummy tuck say the cracks in the abdominal area are gone and they look much fitter. You can also have abdominal surgery to get rid of your stretch marks for good.
