Most of us have (or will get) stretch marks somewhere on our body. It is your skin’s natural response after rapid weight or muscle gain/loss.


Stretch marks most commonly occur during puberty, pregnancy, or weight training. They can really impact our self esteem, particularly when they are new as they first appear red/purple.
Stretch Marks Treatment
Stretch marks will become less noticeable on their own overtime. Whilst they first appear red/purple, they will fade to white eventually. However if you want to treat your stretch marks, we highly recommend to treat them whilst they are fresh.
The red/purple appearance indicates that you still have blood flowing to the area. This blood flow allows for more effective treatment and better
results. Whilst we can still treat white stretch marks, the results are slower and not guaranteed.
In both cases, a course of 6-8 treatments with monthly intervals is typically recommended for best results. As with all laser treatments, the frequency & number of treatments depends on your skin type and the affected area.

Technology
We have found that combining both Radiofrequency (RF) Microneedling and Co2 Laser Treatments in the one session offers most effective results for both new and old stretch marks. At City Laser Clinic, we use Vivace’s RF Microneedling and the Fraxis Co2 Laser. Both of these devices are medical grade and TGA approved, ensuring the utmost safety and effectiveness per session.
