This treatment can work to significantly reduce the noticeable appearance of stretch marks on various areas of the body. Best results are seen after a series of treatments and are most effective when the stretch marks are still in their fairly early stages – when they are red / purple in colour. A consultation will outline the best course of action, according to your individual concerns, and can help you to understand the realistic outcome that can be achieved.

It is normal for your skin to feel sensitive, immediately following the treatment. In the days that follow, your skin may look red and feel a little rough for which we advise that you ice the area and apply a moisturiser to the skin. You can also expect the treated area to scab over before the new, smoother tissue is revealed.

This treatment should always be performed by a practitioner who is trained and experienced. This will ensure that the procedure is delivered and carried out in a safe manner, and is more likely to achieve the end result you desire. We use Sciton medical-grade lasers, and any side effects or risks specific to your treatment will be explained fully at consultation.

Downtime depends on the depth of treatment. Redness and sensitivity are normal in the days after laser treatment, and the area may scab lightly before smoother skin is revealed. Most patients are back to their usual routine within a few days, and results develop over the following weeks as the skin renews.

This treatment typically doesn’t produce a painful experience. Most people find this procedure is very tolerable, only feeling some very mild discomfort as the skin and tissues are heated. This is monitored throughout the treatment and your aesthetic professional will take every step to ensure you feel comfortable and at ease.
