Stretch Mark Removal

It depends on how large an area is being treated and how many sessions your marks call for. You get an exact figure at your consultation once the area is assessed, and financing through Affirm, Cherry and CareCredit is available.

Our surgeons use a pulsed-dye laser, which targets the blood vessels that give newer stretch marks their red or purple color. Reducing that redness is what makes the marks far less noticeable against the surrounding skin.

Pulsed-dye laser works on the redness, so it does the most for marks that are still red or purple. Older marks that have faded to white have lost that color, and they behave differently. Bring them in and you will get a straight answer about what is realistic rather than a package sold in advance.

Most mothers develop them, and they also come from weight gain and from growth spurts. They form when skin is stretched faster than it can adapt, which is why they cluster where the body changes shape quickly.

Yes. Our surgeons have performed the procedure for both women and men, and growth spurts and weight change produce stretch marks regardless of sex.

That depends on how extensive the marks are and how they respond, so it is set after an examination rather than quoted up front. Your surgeon will tell you the expected number at the consultation.
