About Stretch Marks Reduction Treatment
Stretch marks are parallel streaks caused by stretching of the skin. We offer fractional lasers, radiofrequency, and biostimulatory injectables to stimulate dermal collagen and smooth out skin texture.
Key Benefits:
- Improves color integration of stretch marks
- Smooths the textured, rippled feel of the skin
- Stimulates elastic fiber renewal
Stretch marks (striae) develop when the skin stretches or shrinks very rapidly (due to pregnancy, bodybuilding, weight fluctuations, or puberty), causing the dermal collagen and elastin network to rupture. Creams, gels, and lotions have extremely limited clinical efficacy. Modern laser treatments offer the most reliable path to reduce their visibility and tighten the skin.
Advanced Laser Technologies Used
At Bliss Laser Skin Clinic, Dr. Shikha Aggarwal offers custom-tailored laser protocols to target both fresh red/purple marks and older white/silvery marks:
- Fractional CO2 Laser: Creates microscopic vaporized channels in the skin, initiating a powerful natural healing response. It removes damaged outer layers, tightens loose tissues, and triggers new collagen production.
- Fractional Erbium Glass Laser (ResurFX): An advanced non-ablative laser with contact cooling. It reaches the deep dermis to stimulate collagen fibers while leaving the outer epidermis completely intact, resulting in minimal downtime and fast recovery.
- Pulsed Dye Laser (PDL): Highly effective for fresh, red, or purple stretch marks by targeting and calming the active blood vessels underneath.
- Microneedling Radiofrequency (MNRF): Delivers controlled thermal energy deep into the skin layers through micro-needles, promoting excellent skin tightening on the abdomen, thighs, and arms.
What to Expect & Aftercare
We typically perform 5 to 6 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart. Directly after the procedure, you will experience mild redness and swelling for 2-3 days. You must avoid direct sun exposure for 2 weeks prior and post-treatment, apply sunscreen regularly, and keep the treated area thoroughly moisturized.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can old stretch marks be treated?
