“I have tried creams, oils and everything I could find, but my stretch marks are still there. Is there anything that actually works?”

This is a question dermatologists hear frequently.

Stretch marks are not caused by poor skincare. They develop when the skin stretches or changes rapidly, causing disruption in the deeper layers of the skin. Pregnancy, sudden weight gain or weight loss, puberty, intensive workouts, and rapid muscle growth can all contribute to their appearance.

The good news is that stretch marks can be improved. While no treatment can guarantee their complete removal, modern dermatology can make them significantly less noticeable.

Where does Fractional Laser fit in?

Fractional laser works by creating microscopic columns of controlled energy in the skin. This triggers the skin’s natural repair process and stimulates new collagen formation. As the skin remodels, the texture and appearance of stretch marks can gradually improve.

The treatment approach depends greatly on the type of stretch mark. Newer reddish or pink marks may respond differently from older white, silvery marks. Their depth, location, skin type and how long they have been present all influence the treatment plan.

Is one session enough?

Usually, stretch-mark improvement is a gradual process. Multiple sessions may be recommended, with appropriate intervals between treatments to allow the skin to recover and remodel. Your dermatologist can assess the marks and determine the most appropriate treatment intensity and number of sessions.

At Glow Up Skin & Wellness Clinic, we don’t believe in promising to “erase” stretch marks overnight. Our goal is to improve their texture, colour and visibility while maintaining the health and appearance of the surrounding skin.

If your stretch marks have been bothering you for years—or you have recently developed new ones and want to address them early—Fractional Laser treatment may be worth discussing with a dermatologist.
