FDA Approved Treatment for Stretchmarks
It is estimated that close to 90% of women have stretchmarks, which occur normally as a result of puberty, pregnancy, hormonal changes or weight gain. This fact does little to alleviate the embarrassment that most women feel at the appearance of these unsightly striations on their skin.

Before Treatment
Until now there were few options for stretchmark treatments. Having an official government agency like the FDA approve Palomar’s laser treatment means that we are able to provide a safe and effective treatment for stretchmarks.

Before Treatment
We use Palomar’s fractional non-ablative skin resurfacing laser which minimizes the appearance of stretchmarks with no downtime. The Lux1540 laser handpiece improves the unsightly colour and skin texture associated with stretch marks, leaving our clients with smoother, better-looking skin.
For stretch mark treatment, the Lux1540 handpiece delivers an array of high-precision microbeams to create deep, narrow columns of coagulation in the epidermis and dermis. This triggers a restorative natural healing process that creates healthy new tissue, including the deposition of new collagen.
Benefits Include:
- Stretch mark improvement with no downtime
- Smoother, better-looking skin
- Improved tone and texture
