Stretch Mark & Scar Reduction Treatment Overview

Stretch marks and scars are common skin concerns that can affect confidence and self-image. Whether caused by pregnancy, weight fluctuations, surgery, or injury, these marks often appear as textured, discolored lines on the skin.

Our advanced stretch mark and scar reduction treatments use fractional laser resurfacing, radiofrequency (RF) microneedling, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy to promote skin healing, collagen production, and tissue regeneration.

By targeting the damaged skin layers and stimulating new healthy cell turnover, we can significantly reduce the appearance of stretch marks and scars, improving skin texture, tone, and elasticity. At Image Clinic, we create a customized treatment plan based on your skin type, severity of scarring, and personal goals to achieve visible, long-lasting results.

What To Expect

✔ In-Depth Consultation & Skin Analysis – Our specialists assess scar type, stretch mark severity, skin elasticity, and medical history to create a personalized treatment approach.

✔ Pre-Treatment Numbing & Preparation – A topical anesthetic is applied to ensure comfort, and for deeper treatments, local anesthesia may be used.

✔ Precise Skin Resurfacing Treatment – Depending on your condition, we use fractional laser resurfacing, microneedling, or PRP therapy to stimulate collagen and enhance skin renewal.

✔ Minimal to Moderate Discomfort – Treatments may cause a mild warming, tingling, or stinging sensation, which subsides shortly after the procedure.

✔ Gradual Improvement Over Time – Skin regenerates over 4-12 weeks, with visible improvements in texture, tone, and smoothness after each session.

How To Prepare

✔ Avoid Sun Exposure & Tanning – Keeping skin protected from UV rays ensures a safer, more effective treatment with minimized risk of pigmentation changes.

✔ Discontinue Exfoliants & Retinoids – Stop using retinoids, acids, and abrasive skincare products at least one week prior to prevent excess skin sensitivity.

✔ Hydrate & Maintain Skin Health – Well-hydrated skin responds better to treatment and heals faster, so increase water intake and apply nourishing skincare.

✔ Limit Blood Thinners & Alcohol – Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, and alcohol before treatment to reduce bruising, inflammation, and swelling.

✔ Set Expectations for Recovery – Depending on treatment intensity, mild redness, swelling, and peeling may last 5-14 days, with gradual skin renewal over several months.

Aftercare

✔ Keep Skin Moisturized & Protected – Use gentle, hydrating skincare to support healing and minimize irritation.

✔ Apply Broad-Spectrum Sunscreen Daily – Treated skin is more sensitive to sunlight, so wear SPF 50+ to prevent hyperpigmentation and maintain results.

✔ Avoid Picking or Scrubbing Skin – Let peeling and flaking occur naturally to prevent scarring or prolonged irritation.

✔ Use Doctor-Recommended Skincare – Follow your specialist’s guidance on post-treatment products to optimize collagen regeneration and healing.

✔ Refrain from Heat & Intense Exercise – Avoid saunas, hot baths, and vigorous workouts for at least one week to prevent excess inflammation.

Benefits of Stretch Mark & Scar Reduction

Restores Smooth, Even Skin Texture

Our resurfacing and microneedling treatments stimulate new collagen, helping to smooth out raised or depressed scars and stretch marks, restoring soft, even skin.

Minimizes Redness & Discoloration

Stretch marks and scars often appear red, purple, or white due to pigmentation changes. Our treatments reduce excess pigmentation, balancing skin tone for a more natural appearance.

Safe for All Skin Types & Areas

Unlike older scar treatments, our advanced techniques are safe for various skin tones and can be used on the abdomen, thighs, arms, buttocks, and face.

Boosts Skin Firmness & Elasticity

By increasing collagen and elastin production, our treatments tighten the skin, reducing loose or crepey texture left by stretch marks.

Long-Lasting Results with Minimal Downtime

Unlike surgical interventions, non-invasive scar and stretch mark reduction treatments require little to no downtime, with gradual, lasting improvements.

FAQ's

Have questions? We have the answers! Explore our FAQ section to find everything you need to know.

How many sessions do I need for visible results?

Results depend on scar or stretch mark severity, but most clients see noticeable improvement after just one session. For deep scarring or significant stretch marks, 3-6 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart may be recommended.

Is the treatment painful?

A topical anesthetic is applied before the procedure to ensure comfort. While mild discomfort such as a warming or prickling sensation may occur, it is well-tolerated.

How long does recovery take?

Recovery varies based on treatment depth, but clients typically experience 5-14 days of mild redness, peeling, or swelling before skin fully heals and begins regenerating.

Are the results permanent?

Yes! Once collagen production is stimulated, stretch marks and scars are permanently improved. However, maintenance treatments may be recommended depending on skin changes over time.

Can stretch marks and scars be completely removed?

While our treatments significantly improve the appearance of scars and stretch marks, complete removal may not be possible for very deep or older marks. However, most clients experience at least a 50-80% reduction in visibility.
