Stretch marks alter the skin’s texture. Fractional CO₂ laser can help soften their surface and the transition into surrounding skin.
CO₂ laser treatment of small areas stimulates remodelling in skin affected by stretch marks. At DIVINE Medica, both skin type and body area are considered when planning stretch-mark treatment.
CO₂ laser treatment of small areas stimulates remodelling in skin affected by stretch marks. The treatment targets depressed areas and their transitions into surrounding skin. Skin type, colour and the extent of the stretch marks influence the degree of improvement that may be achievable.
Existing stretch marks may respond to texture-focused treatment when the skin type is suitable. The body area and adequate healing intervals determine the treatment plan.
Skin type, tendency to develop pigmentation changes and wound healing are considered before laser treatment. Infection, herpes reactivation, delayed healing, scarring and persistent colour changes are not expected short-term healing reactions and require appropriate assessment. Appropriate eye protection and personalised aftercare are part of the treatment plan.
The affected body area and the development of the stretch marks are assessed together. We tailor the plan to the treatments suitable for you and how well your skin tolerates them.
The affected body area and how the stretch marks developed are assessed together. We plan treatment around your skin type, previous treatments and goals. It is important to have a realistic expectation of improvement rather than complete removal.
The treatment areas are documented and appropriately anaesthetised after cleansing. Treatment depth, density and protective measures are selected for the body area involved.
Fractional pulses are applied to the selected stretch marks and the areas where they meet the surrounding skin. The area treated and the treatment intensity depend on your skin structure and how well your skin tolerates treatment. Local anaesthesia helps reduce discomfort, although warmth, burning or tightness may still be felt.
At the end of the session, we assess the immediate response of the treated area. Initial changes may become noticeable after 2–6 weeks. Aftercare and follow-up appointments are tailored accordingly.
Tell us about previous skin treatments, medications and pigment reactions. Do not change prescribed medication on your own. Avoid tanning and allow enough time for the body area to heal; inflamed or broken skin is assessed beforehand.
Care for the treated areas according to the aftercare plan and avoid clothing that rubs. Advice on sun protection and how long to avoid strenuous activity depends on the treatment area. Do not pick at crusts; please report increasing signs of inflammation.
Initial changes may become noticeable after 2–6 weeks. Structural remodelling is assessed over 3–6 months. Stretch marks may become less visible, but the degree of improvement and number of sessions needed vary from person to person.
