How It Work

Laser Treatment for Stretch Marks and Scars

Fractional CO2 lasers and pulsed dye lasers are commonly used to treat stretch marks and scars. These lasers work by delivering controlled energy to the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production in the deeper layers. As the skin heals, it becomes smoother, firmer, and more even in tone. The laser energy helps to break down scar tissue and remodel it, making the stretch marks and scars appear less prominent.

Microneedling for Stretch Marks and Scars

Microneedling uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which stimulates the body’s natural healing process. This encourages collagen production, which helps to soften and flatten both stretch marks and scars. Microneedling can be combined with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy for enhanced results, as PRP promotes faster healing and deeper skin rejuvenation.

Other Treatment Options

  • Topical Treatments: Specialized creams and serums, containing ingredients like retinoids, hyaluronic acid, and peptides, can be used to support the healing process and improve the texture of skin following laser or microneedling treatments.
  • Chemical Peels: These can help remove dead skin cells, promote cell turnover, and improve the appearance of scars and stretch marks over time.
  • Dermal Fillers: For deeper scars, dermal fillers can be used to elevate the skin’s surface and create a smoother appearance.
Anaesthesia
Topical numbing cream is usually applied before treatments to ensure comfort. For some laser treatments, local anesthesia may be used if necessary.
Side Effects
While side effects are rare, you may experience temporary redness, swelling, or mild discomfort. These typically resolve quickly. In rare cases, hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation may occur, but this is usually temporary.
Treatment Time
Laser treatments typically take around 30-60 minutes depending on the area being treated, while microneedling sessions usually last 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Target Areas
Stretch Marks: Abdomen, thighs, hips, buttocks, breasts, and arms
Scars: Face, neck, chest, back, abdomen, and limbs
Downtime
Laser treatments for scars and stretch marks typically have minimal downtime, with mild redness and swelling lasting for a few hours to a day. Microneedling may cause slight redness and swelling, which generally subsides within 24-48 hours.
