At Celibre, we treat stretch marks with several different lasers depending on the type of marks (colored or textured) and the type of skin (light, medium or dark). Because we treat two types of stretch marks and because there are six skin types, there is a lot of variability from one treatment plan to the next. We also use up to four different lasers to treat stretch marks, depending again on the color and texture of the stretch marks.

For textured stretch marks, our laser stretch mark removal treatment works by stimulating new collagen growth at a molecular level. Using laser energy, we create a thermal injury below the surface of the skin at the point of the damaged tissue. By creating this thermal injury, the skin is prodded into developing new collagen, which then decreases the visibility of textured stretch marks.

Laser Stretch Mark Removal Before and After Pictures

For colored stretch marks, there are two different lasers used to revise the color of the stretch marks and the laser used depends on whether the patient is light skinned and has pink or reddish marks or is dark skinned and has brown marks. In either case, the colored stretch marks are caused as the body brings melanin (pigment) and additional blood flow to the area as part of the normal healing process after a stretch mark forms. For reddish stretch marks, our pulsed dye laser closes the microfine blood vessels near the surface of the skin that cause the redness. For brown stretch marks, our q-switched laser breaks up the pigment formed when the stretch marks occurred in a way that is similar to the way we remove age spots and tattoos.
