Can stretch marks be completely removed?

While stretch marks cannot be completely erased, their appearance can be significantly improved — often by 50-80%. Fractional CO2 laser and Morpheus8 stimulate new collagen production that fills in and smooths the textural depressions, improves color, and blends the marks with surrounding skin. Newer (red/purple) stretch marks typically respond better than mature (white/silver) ones.

Which is better for stretch marks: CO2 laser or Morpheus8?

Both are effective, and the best choice depends on the type and age of stretch marks. CO2 laser is excellent for creating deep collagen remodeling and resurfacing. Morpheus8 delivers radiofrequency energy at controlled depths to remodel tissue from within. Dr. Geldres often recommends combining both for the most comprehensive results.

How many sessions are needed for stretch mark treatment?

Most patients require 3 to 5 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. The number depends on the age, depth, and extent of the stretch marks. Newer stretch marks typically respond faster. During your free consultation, our medical team will create a personalized treatment plan.

Is stretch mark treatment painful?

Both CO2 laser and Morpheus8 are performed with topical anesthesia for comfort. Most patients describe a tolerable warming or prickling sensation during treatment. No general anesthesia is required. Discomfort varies by treatment area and individual sensitivity.

What is the recovery time after stretch mark treatment?

CO2 laser involves 5-7 days of redness and peeling in the treated area. Morpheus8 requires 3-5 days of mild redness. Sun protection is essential during healing. Medical tourism patients should plan their Lima visit to allow for the recovery period.
