Laser removal of stretch marks on the body

Scientifically supported skin treatment after the appearance of body stretch marks — at Dr. Uskov’s clinic

Stretch marks on the body (striae distensae) are one of the most common aesthetic skin conditions affecting both women and men. They can appear at any age and on various areas of the body, including the abdomen, thighs, chest, buttocks, lower back, shoulders, and arms. Although they pose no health risk, stretch marks often cause psychological discomfort, lowered self-esteem, and dissatisfaction with one’s body.

Modern laser technologies can significantly improve the skin’s appearance, reduce the visibility of stretch marks, and restore an even skin texture without the need for surgical intervention.

How do they appear?

Stretch marks are a form of dermal scarring that occurs when collagen and elastin fibers in the skin are damaged. The main causes include:

• pregnancy (the most common cause in women)

• adolescent growth—especially in boys during periods of rapid growth

• hormonal disorders (including Cushing’s syndrome and prolonged use of glucocorticoids)

• rapid changes in body weight—both weight loss and gain

• intense physical activity in athletes and bodybuilders

• genetic predisposition to reduced dermal matrix strength

Initially, stretch marks are pink or reddish (striae rubrae), and over time they become pale, pearly (striae albae), which are more difficult to treat.

Why remove stretch marks?

Although stretch marks do not pose a direct health risk, they:

• can significantly affect the skin’s appearance

• can reduce self-confidence, especially when wearing revealing clothing, swimwear, or in intimate situations

• can become a psychological burden, particularly for young people

How is stretch mark treatment performed at Dr. Uskov’s clinic?

During an in-person consultation, the doctor conducts:

• Visual and palpation assessment of the type and stage of stretch marks

• If necessary:

  • digital dermatoscopy

  • examination with a Wood’s lamp

  • infrared diagnostics

  • ultrasound of the skin and subcutaneous tissue

This allows the doctor to determine the depth, activity, type of stretch marks, and potential skin response to treatment, which is essential for developing a personalized protocol.

Laser therapy according to international standards

The clinic uses all wavelengths commonly applied in global practice for the treatment of stretch marks and scar tissue:

• Fractional non-ablative lasers (Er:Glass, Er:YAG) — gentle skin remodeling

• Ablative lasers (CO₂, Er:YAG) — for mature striae albae

• Vascular lasers (PDL, Nd:YAG) — for striae rubrae

• Picosecond lasers — for color correction and improved skin texture

A combined approach

Stretch mark treatment protocols are always combined and may include:

• PRP (autologous plasma therapy)

• Microneedling

• Biorevitalization and mesotherapy

• Injectable treatments for skin laxity

• Medication support if necessary

How many sessions do I need?

Treatment is always carried out in sessions. Typically, 2 to 8 sessions are required, spaced 4–8 weeks apart. The exact number depends on:

• Type of stretch marks (rubrae or albae)

• Depth and width of the damage

• Body area and skin density

• Patient’s age

• Metabolic and hormonal factors

The earlier treatment begins, the more effective it is and the fewer sessions are needed.
