C02 laser therapy post 6 month c section
Is it safe to undergo CO₂ laser therapy for abdominal stretch marks six months after a C-section?
What are the potential side effects or risks associated with the treatment?
How effective is CO₂ laser therapy for reducing the appearance of stretch marks, and what kind of results can typically be expected?
Yes, 6 months post C-section is generally safe for CO2 laser as the scar should be well healed by then. CO2 laser can reduce stretch mark appearance by 30-60% â it does not remove them completely but improves texture and colour significantly. Usually needs 3-5 sessions. Main side effects are temporary redness, swelling and skin darkening (especially in Indian skin tones).
Next Steps
Consult a dermatologist experienced in laser procedures â they will assess your scar healing and skin type first. If you are still breastfeeding, mention it to them. Consult me on Practo for more guidance on post-pregnancy skin care.
