Stretch marks (Striae Distensae) is a common skin condition that features linear dermal scars accompanied by epidermal atrophy. They are frequent undesirable skin lesions that result in considerable aesthetic concern. Early stretch marks (immature) are usually red in colour and respond extremely well to treatment. Mature stretch marks are typically white in colour and usually will show about a 50% post treatment improvement. They commonly occur after rapid weight loss or weight gain, pregnancy and rapid growth spurts.

Kings Cosmetic Clinic offers an effective reduction of Stretch Marks with Ablative Fractional Er:YAG and Long pulse Nd:YAG (Non-ablative Fractional Collagen Remodelling Treatments).

Results can be seen after a single session however the most significant improvement is typically after 3-5 treatments. As your treatment progresses you will notice the colour of the stretch mark and the extent of the scar diminish. Additionally, the texture of the skin will improve leaving the area softer and smoother. The early stretch marks (striae rubra) and scars, usually red in colour, have the most dramatic results, but all types of stretch marks (striae alba) and scars can noticeably improve. The laser technology is safe and effective with minimal side-effects, a wide safety margin and no downtime.
