Stretch Mark Treatments with Dr. Murray

Stretch Mark Reduction at Absolute Cosmetic Perth

Stretch marks are a common skin concern that occur when the dermis, the deeper layer of the skin, tears due to rapid stretching. These marks can resemble runs in stockings and often lead individuals to seek treatment to reduce their appearance.

At Absolute Cosmetic Perth, we offer several non-surgical options for stretch mark reduction, particularly for newer stretch marks that may still show redness or pigmentation. These treatments include Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy, tretinoin cream, various laser treatments, and skin needling.

One of the more effective treatments available is the DOT laser, a CO2 laser that delivers controlled heat deep into the skin to stimulate healing. Additionally, we are exploring the Icon Laser, which has received positive feedback for its effectiveness in reducing the appearance of stretch marks.

It is essential to manage expectations regarding results. While some patients report significant improvements, such as a reduction in stretch marks by up to 90%, it is more common to see a 50% improvement after multiple sessions over several months.

We encourage anyone considering treatment to research credible studies and expert opinions. Be cautious when relying on reviews, as these can sometimes be unreliable.
