Stretch Mark Treatment

We provide customized treatment for stretch marks based on their type and age. Early-stage red stretch marks can be effectively improved using the V-beam vascular laser to shrink dilated blood vessels and reduce inflammation. White stretch marks, which have faded over time, are treated with a combination of fractional lasers to stimulate collagen production in the depressed skin and improve skin texture. As early treatment yields better results, we recommend a consultation as soon as stretch marks are noticed.

For those worried about early red stretch marks

For those worried about early red stretch marks

Red stretch marks from skin stretching are in their golden time for treatment. Missing this period can lead to them becoming permanent white scars. Start treatment now to save time and money, and prevent them from worsening.

For those bothered by old white stretch marks

For those bothered by old white stretch marks

White stretch marks are like scars with damaged dermal collagen. They are difficult to improve with general care. Intensive care is needed if you want to improve the indented texture of deep, old stretch mark scars.

FAQ

FAQ

Common questions patients ask about this treatment.

Personalized number of sessions

The number of sessions required depends on the individual's skin condition, and the type and depth of the lesion. Generally, 3-5 or more sessions are recommended. It is most important to establish a personalized treatment plan through a consultation with our medical staff.

A slight stinging sensation

A cool stream of air is used during the procedure to reduce pain, but you may feel a slight stinging sensation, like a rubber band snapping against the skin. The pain is generally mild enough that most people can proceed without anesthesia.

Immediate return to daily life

Some redness or swelling may occur after the procedure, but it usually subsides within a few hours. Minor bruising can occasionally happen, but it is typically concealable with makeup, allowing most people to resume their daily activities immediately.

Gradual skin improvement

The effects appear gradually as the treated blood vessels are absorbed by the body. While some may notice improvement after just one session, typically, you will see redness gradually fade and skin tone become more even with repeated treatments.

Programs tailored to symptoms

The 'Basic' program is a fundamental treatment using a vascular laser to alleviate early symptoms of redness. The 'Premium' program is an intensive care plan for chronic redness or rosacea, combining multiple laser treatments with skin barrier strengthening management to minimize recurrence.

Effective on red stretch marks

Vascular lasers target blood vessels, making them most effective for treating early-stage, red stretch marks where blood vessels are prominent. Old, white stretch marks may require a different type of treatment, so a consultation with our medical staff is necessary.

Cautions

Pre & post-care

Essential pre/post-care to maximize results and prevent side effects.

Sun protection is essential before and after the procedure.Sun exposure on the treated area can cause pigmentation. Apply sunscreen thoroughly when going outdoors.
Avoid strenuous activities for a few days after the procedure.Refrain from saunas, jjimjilbangs, strenuous exercise, and alcohol for about 3-7 days, as they can dilate blood vessels and slow down recovery.
Do not rub the treated area harshly.Be gentle when cleansing. It is best to avoid using scrubs or exfoliants until the skin has fully recovered.
Keep the skin well-moisturized to prevent dryness.The skin may become temporarily dry after the procedure. Apply a sufficient amount of regenerative cream or moisturizer to help restore the skin barrier.
Be sure to inform the medical staff of any medications you are taking.Medications such as aspirin or blood thinners can increase the risk of bruising. If you are taking any medication, you must consult with the medical staff before the procedure.
