Stretch Mark Treatments to Smooth, Tighten, and Restore Your Skin

Stretch marks are a common skin concern resulting from rapid weight changes, pregnancy, or growth spurts. At Skin Care Institute, we use non-invasive, medical-grade technologies like Fraxel® Dual Laser Skin Resurfacing, and SkinPen Microneedling to improve the tone, texture, and color of stretch marks by stimulating your skin’s natural healing process.

Our expert team customizes each treatment plan based on your skin type, the age of the stretch marks, and your aesthetic goals — helping you achieve smoother, firmer, more even-toned skin.

What to Expect from Your Stretch Mark Treatments

1–3 Days

Post-treatment redness and mild swelling may occur as your skin begins its healing process. This is a natural response to the stimulation of the deeper skin layers and marks the start of collagen remodeling. The treated area may feel slightly warm or sensitive, and some clients experience a sensation similar to a mild sunburn.

✓ Warmth or sensitivity in treated areas
✓ Skin may feel tight or dry
✓ Early activation of collagen remodeling

4–10 Days

Healing continues as your skin works from the inside out. During this time, you may notice some flaking or dryness as dead skin cells are shed and replaced with fresher, smoother layers. This cellular turnover is key to reducing discoloration and improving texture.

✓ Smoother skin texture
✓ Subtle softening of stretch mark appearance
✓ Light fading of discoloration

3–6 Weeks

Ongoing collagen production deep within the skin begins to produce visible changes. Stretch marks may appear lighter in color and less pronounced, while the surrounding skin becomes firmer and more resilient. The area often feels smoother to the touch and begins to blend more naturally with your overall skin tone.

✓ Reduced redness or pigmentation
✓ Firmer, more resilient skin
✓ Noticeable fading of treated stretch marks

8–12 Weeks+

With a series of consistent treatments, long-term results become more dramatic. Collagen continues to rebuild and resurface the treated areas, improving both the depth and visibility of stretch marks. Many clients notice significant improvements not just in appearance, but in overall skin confidence.

✓ Significant improvement in stretch mark visibility
✓ Smoother, more even skin tone
✓ Confidence in wearing skin-baring styles
