Can Laser Remove Stretch Marks?

Yes, Laser treatment can effectively reduce the appearance of stretch marks, making them smoother and less noticeable, but it cannot remove them completely. It works best on newer red or purple stretch marks by stimulating collagen and elastin production. 

Typically, 20% to 60% improvement is seen after multiple sessions. Results are often more noticeable on lighter skin tones, and the procedure is generally safe, minimally invasive, and well-tolerated.

According to Dr Harikiran Chekuri a seasoned Plastic Surgeon in Hyderabad,

Laser therapy is most effective on newer, red or purple stretch marks, while older white or silvery marks may require multiple sessions and complementary treatments for optimal results.

People often ask can laser remove stretch marks at any stage? The effectiveness depends on the type and age of the marks:

• New stretch marks (red or purple): These respond best to laser treatment because the skin is still actively healing, allowing lasers to stimulate collagen more effectively and reduce discoloration faster.
• Old stretch marks (white or silver): Improvement is possible, but results are usually slower and may require multiple laser sessions or combination treatments to enhance skin texture.
• Location and skin type: Treatment outcomes vary based on the area of the body and individual skin type, as some regions heal faster and respond better to laser therapy than others.

A personalized evaluation helps determine the right laser type, intensity, and number of sessions for each individual. You can learn more about available options and outcomes by reading our detailed guide on can stretch marks be removed.

After laser stretch mark treatment, you may experience mild redness, swelling, or a sunburn-like sensation that usually lasts 2–5 days. The procedure is non-invasive with minimal downtime, but it’s advised to avoid direct sun exposure and strenuous exercise for about 48 hours. Visible improvements in skin texture and color generally become noticeable after a few treatment sessions.
