Laser Treatment for Stretch Marks

What is a laser treatment for stretch marks?

Stretch marks appear due to a breakage in the middle layer of our skin, usually due to sudden weight gains or sudden growths. These can also be influenced by hormones and certain medications.

Stretch marks can appear anywhere where the skin has been stretched, but they usually affect areas where fat is stored, such as the tummy, breasts, upper arms, buttocks, thighs and shoulders.

Honestly, it is actually impossible for our skin to return to its original condition once we develop stretch marks, but we can improve the condition via laser treatments.

How we do laser treatment for stretch marks

Stretch Marks Treatment

The laser creates micro injuries on the skin, allowing the delivery of PRP (platelet rich plasma) into the middle layer of the skin.

PRP is made from the patient's own platelets and fibrin, and play a role in enhancing the "growth factors" that activate and rejuvenate cells in our body.

Both these steps stimulate the regeneration of collagen and improve the healing of stretch marks.

What to watch out for

Stretch Marks Treatment

Some products like stretch mark removal cream or products are also commonly used by patients, and they can be easily found in shops or through internet shopping - but are they safe to use?

Products that are sold online are seldom registered under the Drug Control Authority (DCA), and may carry ingredients that can cause more harm than good.

At Peter Ch’ng Clinic, we care about our patients’ safety and wellbeing as much as the treatment effectiveness. So you can be rest assured that the safe recovery of your skin condition will be of the utmost priority here.

Dr Loo once shared that there was a patient who used a stretch mark removal cream she bought online which seemed very effective, with whitening effect too. But we later found out that the product actually contained mercury to cover up and make the stretch mark invisible.

Mercury in medications or skin products are highly toxic, and can lead to mercury poisoning. Some of the illegal ingredients used in unregistered products are mercury in skin cream, or the lead chemical element in lipsticks.

Furthermore, the absorption of topical cream (DCA registered products) into the middle layer of the skin where the scar or stretch mark originates from is very minimal. Therefore, the effect of the cream on the scar or stretch marks will also be minimal.
