Mariam Awada, MD, FACS Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Stretch Mark Removal

This fractional laser penetrates the skin to promote collagen production, effectively reducing the visibility of both stretch marks and scars. This treatment can be performed on various areas of the body, including the:

• Abdomen
• Thighs
• Hips
• Arms
• Buttocks

Ideal candidates for Icon laser stretch mark removal include individuals with stretch marks from either pregnancy or weight fluctuations. Patients should be in good health and have realistic expectations regarding the procedure’s outcome.

Individuals with severe skin conditions, active infections, or who are currently pregnant may not be suitable candidates for this treatment. A consultation with our expert team in Metro Detroit will help determine each patient’s best course of action.

During the Icon laser stretch mark removal procedure, our aesthetic team will first cleanse the treatment area and apply a topical anesthetic to minimize discomfort. The laser device is then passed over the stretch marks, delivering precise beams of laser energy. This stimulates collagen production and helps to resurface the skin, gradually reducing the appearance of stretch marks.

To achieve optimal results, most patients will need two to four treatment sessions, spaced one to three months apart. The length of each session depends on the size and number of treatment areas.

After undergoing Icon laser treatment for stretch mark reduction, patients should keep these areas clean and apply any recommended antibiotic ointments to prevent infection. Sun protection is crucial during recovery, so patients should use a high-SPF sunscreen (30 or higher) as directed by our cosmetic team.

• Reduces the appearance of stretch marks
• Improves skin texture and tone
• Minimal downtime
• Non-surgical and minimally invasive

Because new skin cells are forming, the stretch marks soon become smaller and thinner. There may be some immediate redness after each procedure, but that subsides. The laser smooths the texture of the mark, so your skin should feel as it once did. As a final recommendation, you should complete the healing process by having a photofacial on the area. Even once the skin heals, it may still lack the right pigment in the scarred area. A photofacial deals with any remaining coloration issues. Targeting both pigments, red (hemoglobin-based) and brown (melanin-based), takes your skin the final step closer to its original state.
