Stretch Mark Reduction
Reduce the
appearance of stretch marks with laser therapy
“I’ve spent thousands on expensive creams to try to get rid of my stretch marks, and none of them work. The stretch mark treatment is very tolerable, and I am so happy I found Chicago Aesthetics and would highly recommend them for any skincare needs!”
At Chicago Aesthetics Surgery & Med Spa, we offer the most advanced laser stretch mark treatment that is safe and effective. Our fractional laser technology penetrates into the dermal layer of the skin to stimulate collagen formation and remodel the dermal scars. By filling in the gaps with new collagen, this treatment can dramatically reduce the depth, color, and appearance of stretch marks.
Our skin professionals are highly trained in laser-based treatments for stretch mark removal.
How do
Stretch Marks Form?
If you have significant stretch marks in the abdominal area and loose skin, you may be a good candidate for a skin excision procedure such as a tummy tuck, which is guaranteed to remove stretch marks.

How does
laser treatment get rid of stretch marks?
Stretch marks are found in the deep layer of the skin, laser stretch mark treatment is recommended because it has the ability to penetrate the skin deep enough in order to be effective.
Laser stretch mark removal is great for those who want to reduce the appearance of stretch marks caused by pregnancy, hormonal changes, weight changes, or certain medications that can make someone more likely to get stretch marks.
At Chicago Aesthetics Surgery & Med Spa, our laser technicians use ICON1540 fractional laser technology to treat stretch marks. This laser works by using fractional light to break down stretch marks and naturally trigger the growth of healthy new tissue, collagen, and elastin. This process helps improve the skin’s texture, making it look healthier and smoother. Laser stretch mark treatments are safe for all skin types and have little to no downtime.
What areas
can be treated?
Stretch marks commonly appear in various areas of the body and can treat the following areas:
- Abdomen
- Thighs
- Hips
- Breasts
- Upper arms
- Lower back

Frequently Asked Questions

How Long Do Laser Stretch Marks Treatments Take?
Are There Other Treatments for Stretch Marks?
Most advertised stretch mark removal treatments are creams and lotions that only work on the surface of the skin and usually cannot penetrate the dermal layer to have any significant effect.
Skin rollers and massagers can temporarily improve the appearance of stretch marks due to the swelling they cause but do not address the underlying issue.
An alternative treatment that we may recommend is the Morpheus8 radiofrequency microneedling treatment for those who have skin laxity and stretch marks from prior pregnancies for example. The Morpheus8 has the added benefit of skin tightening.
Your laser stretch mark treatment will be customized to your individual condition. Our medical skin experts will provide a recommendation based on the size of the area or areas being treated, how pronounced your stretch marks are, your skin type, and other factors.
