Stretch Mark Reduction Treatment

The same laser that is used for skin resurfacing and scars removal will also improve the look of your stretch marks. Since stretched skin has lost its elasticity, our goal at Denver Laser Solutions is to help you regain it! The laser causes a controlled damage to the skin allowing it to heal naturally. The results of this are production of collagen and elastin (connective tissues in your skin). Then your stretch marks shrink and fade more naturally into the skin.

The 1540 non-ablative fractional laser device is used at our clinic for treatment of stretch marks. It was the first laser to receive clearance for the treatment of striae (stretch marks) from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This makes us Denver’s leading stretch mark removal treatment center.

This sensation created by the treatment may be described as multiple pin pricks. And because stretch marks tend to be located on the body in a large area, we do recommend applying a topical numbing cream. Do so approximately 45 minutes prior to your stretch mark removal session to make the treatment more comfortable.

A minimum of three stretch mark removal treatments is needed to see results. Because results are subjective, we analyze your results by comparing before and after photos approximately one month after your third treatment.

We recommend wearing comfortable, loose fitting clothes to your appointment as you will experience some heat and tenderness in the treated area. Redness and slight swelling is to be expected and may last up to three weeks post. A topical healing agent will be applied and ice packs are recommended intermittently for several hours after to help mitigate this effect.
