Stretch Mark Removal
What is Laser Stretch Mark Removal?
Laser stretch mark removal is a cosmetic procedure that uses light energy to diminish the appearance of stretch marks. It works by stimulating skin’s natural ability to produce collagen, a structure that provides elasticity and structure to skin. The treatment breaks down the scar tissue and leads to a smoother and more uniform skin texture.
At Distill Laser Clinic, we use Morpheus8 for the treatment of stretch marks, a microneedling RF (Radio Frequency) device. The treatment combines microneedling and radiofrequency energy to penetrate the skin and stimulate the deeper layers, leading to increased production of collagen and elastin.

What Are The Main Causes Of Stretch Marks?
Stretch marks are caused by the rapid stretching and tearing of skin’s middle layer, leading to an uneven skin texture. When this skin stretches beyond its elastic recoil potential, the skin forms an internal scar, popularly called a stretch mark.
Some of the common causes of stretch marks are pregnancy, rapid weight gain or loss, growth spurts during puberty, excessive muscle growth in bodybuilding, and use of corticosteroid medications. Age, skin type, and genetics also play a role in the likelihood of developing stretch marks.
Anyone can develop stretch marks. The lighter the skin’s colour, the higher the chances are of getting visible stretch marks.
How Laser Stretch Mark Reduction Works
Laser stretch mark removal works by using Sublative laser technology; it sends short pulses of laser energy into the scar tissue caused when your skin stretches, thus breaking down this scar tissue while simultaneously stimulating your cells to produce new collagen. Together, this smooths the appearance of the skin and reduces discolouration. As you have each treatment, the stretch marks will gradually fade as newer, healthier skin replaces them.
Microneedling Stretch Mark Removal
We also utilize mesotherapy and micro-needling to stimulate new, thicker and smoother skin and collagen that greatly minimizes the appearance of stretch marks.
During microneedling, we apply a thin layer of growth factor serum to your skin and gently glide the microneedling pen across the skin until the entire treatment area has been covered. This results in collagen simulation and promotes the breakdown of the stretch mark scar.
