Stretch marks are a common concern that topical products rarely resolve. Professional treatments can genuinely reduce their appearance.
Stretch marks are reddened streaks, sometimes whitish in color, indented into the skin. They usually appear from pregnancy, weight gain, growth spurts in teens, and rapid muscle gain through weightlifting. When the skin stretches faster than it can produce new collagen, the dermal layer tears, leaving visible marks on the surface.
Many topical products promise to rid you of stretch marks, but they don't live up to the hype. Creams and oils can improve skin hydration and may help with prevention, but once stretch marks have formed, the damage is beneath the surface where topical products simply cannot reach.
Newer stretch marks that are still red or purple tend to respond best to treatment, as they still have active blood flow. Older, white or silver stretch marks are more challenging but can still be significantly improved with the right combination of professional treatments that stimulate collagen remodeling deep within the dermis.
Our advanced treatments work beneath the skin's surface to stimulate collagen production and remodel the damaged tissue that causes stretch marks.
Fractional CO2 laser creates thousands of microscopic treatment zones within the stretch mark, vaporizing damaged tissue and triggering the body's natural wound-healing cascade. As the skin repairs itself, fresh collagen fills in the depressed areas while the surface smooths and blends with surrounding skin. CO2 laser is particularly effective for mature, white stretch marks that have been resistant to other treatments. Note: CO2 laser is not suitable for all skin tones. A consultation is required to determine if this treatment is right for you.
