During pregnancy, the belly gradually increases in size to accommodate the growth of the fetus, and the skin becomes thinner and thinner. The skin is made up of epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue. When a mother’s abdomen rapidly expands during pregnancy, the epidermis and dermis generally have enough elasticity to match. Still, the subcutaneous tissue may be unable to keep up with the speed of skin expansion. If the collagen fibers contained in the subcutaneous tissue break because they cannot withstand the expansion, the integrity of the skin will be destroyed, and stretch marks will appear.
Lumenis M22™ IPL is the latest IPL treatment device introduced by Luminous, a long-established American company with extensive IPL research experience. M22 irradiates the skin with intense pulsed light (IPL) that hits melanin and capillaries, converting the light energy into heat. m22 can repair minor epidermal tears caused by pregnancy and lighten the pigmentation left by stretch marks.
