Stretch Marks Treatment in Lima

Whether stretch marks clear completely, and how many sessions it takes, depends on each person's skin, so we cannot promise an exact result. Fractional CO2 laser and picosecond laser 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.

CO2 laser comes first for stretch marks (S/1,000 per session), then picosecond laser (S/300). Morpheus8 Body (S/3,000, sedation by an anesthesiologist included) is for stretch marks with loose skin. Dra. Geldres picks the treatment at your consultation.

With CO2 laser or picosecond laser, Dra. Geldres sets how many sessions and how far apart, according to your skin; if Morpheus8 Body is recommended for loose skin, it usually takes 1 to 2 sessions a year, depending on the case. 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.

CO2 laser is performed with lidocaine cream (a topical anesthetic) for comfort; with picosecond laser most patients feel small snaps or a light tingling; and Morpheus8 is done under sedation by an anesthesiologist, included in the price. Most patients describe a tolerable warming or prickling sensation during treatment. No general anesthesia is required. Discomfort varies by treatment area and individual sensitivity.

CO2 laser involves 5-7 days of redness and peeling in the treated area. Picosecond laser may leave mild redness that usually settles in 1 to 3 days. Sun protection is essential during healing. Medical tourism patients should plan their Lima visit to allow for the recovery period.

With loose skin, Morpheus8 Body is S/3,000 (~US$857) per session, sedation by an anesthesiologist included. Dra. Geldres picks the treatment at your free online consultation.
