Co2 Laser for stretch marks

Service Description

CO₂ laser stretch mark reduction is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment designed to improve the appearance of stretch marks on areas such as the stomach, arms and legs. Using controlled CO₂ laser energy, the treatment targets the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen remodelling and skin regeneration. Stretch marks develop when the skin stretches rapidly, causing collagen and elastin fibres to break. CO₂ laser treatment works by creating precise micro injuries in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing response and encouraging the production of new collagen. This process helps improve skin texture, firmness and tone, reducing the visibility of stretch marks over time. The treatment is suitable for both newer red stretch marks and older white stretch marks. Treatment settings are customised based on the area treated, skin type and severity of stretch marks, ensuring results are progressive, natural looking and tailored to the individual. All CO₂ laser stretch mark treatments are carried out by Joanna, an experienced aesthetic expert with advanced training in laser technology and skin anatomy, ensuring safe treatment planning and precise delivery.
