Stretch marks are a form of scarring caused by the tearing of dermal elastic fibers during rapid skin stretching. Early red stretch marks are treated with vascular lasers, while older white stretch marks are treated with fractional lasers to stimulate collagen regeneration, harmonizing both color and texture with the surrounding skin.

Pre & Post-Care Instructions
- Temporary redness and fine micro-crusting may occur in the treated area.
- A realistic goal for stretch marks is noticeable visual improvement and blending rather than complete erasure.
- Treatment outcomes and recovery times may vary by individual. Since all procedures can carry potential side effects, please consult thoroughly with a medical specialist before treatment.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Can older, white stretch marks also be improved?
While they take longer than red stretch marks, repeated sessions progressively improve skin texture and reduce the width of the marks.
Can I receive treatment while pregnant?
Treatment is not recommended during pregnancy; we advise scheduling a consultation after delivery to begin care.
