Questions
Stretch Mark Treatment: common questions
Can laser resurfacing help with stretch marks?
Laser resurfacing can soften the texture and color of older stretch marks over a series of sessions. Depending on depth, your specialist will recommend CoolPeel sessions or a deeper DEKA Pulse treatment.
When is the best time of year to start?
Treated skin needs protection from the sun before and after each session. We plan your sessions around your calendar and any events.
How much downtime should I plan for?
CoolPeel recovery is typically 1 to 3 days of redness, similar to a mild sunburn. The deeper DEKA Pulse treatment has 5 to 10 days of peeling and redness. We help you choose the option that fits your skin and your calendar.
