Stretch Mark Treatment
Skin Resurfacing, Collagen Remodelling & Texture Improvement
Stretch mark treatment at Ageology is used to reduce the appearance of striae and address selected changes in colour or skin texture. Depending on the type and stage of the stretch marks, treatment may involve microneedling, fractional resurfacing, radiofrequency microneedling or other clinically appropriate approaches.
Stretch marks cannot be guaranteed to disappear completely, and response varies between individuals.
What is Stretch Mark Treatment?
Stretch marks, or striae, are a form of dermal scarring that can develop when skin stretches rapidly, such as during growth, pregnancy or changes in body size.
Treatment aims to improve selected aspects of colour, width or texture by stimulating controlled skin remodelling. The technique chosen depends on whether the marks are newer red or purple striae or older pale or white striae, as well as the treatment area and skin type.

When to Consider Stretch Mark Treatment at Ageology
Treatment may be considered for:
- Post-pregnancy stretch marks on areas such as the abdomen, hips or breasts
- Stretch marks following growth or changes in body size
- Red or purple early-stage striae
- Mature white or silver striae
- Indented or uneven skin texture associated with stretch marks
What to Expect After Stretch Mark Treatment
Improvement is gradual and often requires more than one treatment session. Redness, swelling, dryness, crusting or temporary sensitivity can occur depending on the procedure used.
Less common complications can include infection, post-inflammatory pigment change, burns or scarring. Stretch marks may become less visible, but complete removal cannot be guaranteed.

Frequently Asked Questions
No treatment can guarantee complete removal. Procedures may reduce their colour, width or textural contrast, but some visible change usually remains.
The timeline depends on the treatment used, the age and colour of the stretch marks and individual healing. Collagen-remodelling procedures generally require time and may need multiple sessions.
Topical vitamin C may support general skin care but cannot reliably remove established stretch marks.
Depending on the type of striae, options may include microneedling, fractional resurfacing, radiofrequency microneedling or other skin-remodelling procedures.
Older white striae can be treated, but they may respond differently from newer red or purple stretch marks. Results vary.
