Stretch marks, also known as striae, are long, narrow streaks or lines that develop on the skin. They often appear when the skin is rapidly stretched or when there are changes in the body that affect the skin's elasticity.

Medically Reviewed by Dr. Amber Bocknek, MD, CCFP

Stretch marks commonly occur during periods of rapid growth, such as puberty or pregnancy, and with rapid weight gain. Intensive weightlifting or bodybuilding can also cause stretch marks. Prolonged use of corticosteroid medications can make the skin more susceptible.

Frequently Asked Questions

While stretch marks cannot be completely eliminated, their appearance can be significantly reduced with fractional laser resurfacing. Newer, red/purple stretch marks tend to respond better to treatment than older, white ones.
Fractional CO2 laser creates micro-channels in the skin, stimulating collagen production and skin remodeling. This gradually smooths the texture and reduces the visibility of stretch marks.
Most patients benefit from 3-5 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Results are progressive, with continued improvement for several months after the final treatment.
We apply topical numbing cream before treatment to minimize discomfort. Most patients describe mild heat or tingling during the procedure. Some redness and swelling are normal afterward.
