What Is Stretch Mark Removal?

This fractional laser penetrates the skin to promote collagen production, effectively reducing the visibility of both stretch marks and scars. This treatment can be performed on various areas of the body, including the:

  • Abdomen
  • Thighs
  • Hips
  • Arms
  • Buttocks

Good Candidates for Stretch Mark Removal

Ideal candidates for Icon laser stretch mark removal include individuals with stretch marks from either pregnancy or weight fluctuations. Patients should be in good health and have realistic expectations regarding the procedure’s outcome.

Individuals with severe skin conditions, active infections, or who are currently pregnant may not be suitable candidates for this treatment. A consultation with our expert team in Metro Detroit will help determine each patient’s best course of action.

The Icon Laser Procedure

During the Icon laser stretch mark removal procedure, our aesthetic team will first cleanse the treatment area and apply a topical anesthetic to minimize discomfort. The laser device is then passed over the stretch marks, delivering precise beams of laser energy. This stimulates collagen production and helps to resurface the skin, gradually reducing the appearance of stretch marks.

To achieve optimal results, most patients will need two to four treatment sessions, spaced one to three months apart. The length of each session depends on the size and number of treatment areas.

The Recovery Process

After undergoing Icon laser treatment for stretch mark reduction, patients should keep these areas clean and apply any recommended antibiotic ointments to prevent infection. Sun protection is crucial during recovery, so patients should use a high-SPF sunscreen (30 or higher) as directed by our cosmetic team.

How Much Does Stretch Mark Removal Cost?

The price of stretch mark removal varies based on factors like the number of treatment areas, the size of each area, and the number of sessions required. During your consultation, we will provide a personalized treatment plan and cost estimate tailored to your specific needs.

What Type of Results Should I Expect?

Because new skin cells are forming, the stretch marks soon become smaller and thinner. There may be some immediate redness after each procedure, but that subsides. The laser smooths the texture of the mark, so your skin should feel as it once did. As a final recommendation, you should complete the healing process by having a photofacial on the area. Even once the skin heals, it may still lack the right pigment in the scarred area. A photofacial deals with any remaining coloration issues. Targeting both pigments, red (hemoglobin-based) and brown (melanin-based), takes your skin the final step closer to its original state.

Finally, there’s a treatment to reduce or even eliminate the unsightly scars that so often leave you frustrated and embarrassed. Contact us if you’re ready to eliminate stretch marks with just a few visits to the office.
