Scars & Stretch Marks

Discover our proven treatments for scarring and stretch marks in Melbourne. 

What it is

Scars are areas of fibrous tissue that form as part of the skin’s natural healing process after injury, acne, burns, surgery, or other trauma. They can appear flat, raised, or sunken and vary in colour from pink or red to brown or white. Scars may also feel firm, rough, or tender.

Stretch marks (striae) are a type of atrophic scar that occurs when the skin stretches rapidly, such as during pregnancy, growth spurts, or weight changes. This overstretching damages collagen and elastin fibres, leaving streaks that can be red, purple, or white depending on skin type and age.

Who it is for

Our scar and stretch marks treatments are ideal for anyone looking to improve the appearance of acne scars, surgical scars, injury marks, or stretch marks. Whether your concerns are recent or long-standing, we tailor each plan to your skin type, depth of scarring, and personal goals.

The science behind it

The science of advanced treatments lies in the different modalities they use. Microneedling creates thousands of tiny punctures in the skin, stimulating the natural wound-healing process. RF (radiofrequency) energy penetrates deeper to break down scar tissue and trigger collagen remodeling, while laser light targets pigmentation to improve overall skin tone. Together, these technologies promote smoother, firmer, and healthier-looking skin.

Preperation

Avoid direct sun exposure, tanning, and other treatments, including waxing and exfoliants, for at least one week before your appointment.

Discontinue the use of retinoids and vitamin C 3 days prior to your session. Your practitioner may also advise against certain medications or supplements that could impact your treatment.

For male clients, please shave the treatment area the night before.

Aftercare
  • After your treatment, it’s normal for the skin to appear red and slightly swollen—similar to a mild sunburn—for up to 24 hours.
  • Your skin may feel tight and dry as it begins to resurface and regenerate fresh, healthy skin.
  • Skip cleansing and showers for the first 24 hours for optimal healing.
  • Use only gentle, hydrating products as recommended by your practitioner for the first 48 hours.
  • Stay out of direct sun, and apply a broad-spectrum SPF daily to protect the skin.
  • Avoid hot baths, steam rooms, saunas, and swimming pools for at least seven days. 
  • Avoid any other treatment on the same area at least for 3 weeks.

Treatment options for scarring and stretch marks

Radiofrequency Microneedling

This procedure uses fine needles combined with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production, helping to reduce the appearance of scars and improve skin texture.

Plasma Pen Fibroblast

A non-invasive treatment that uses plasma energy to create controlled micro-traumas on the skin’s surface, stimulating collagen production and reducing the appearance of scars.

Chemical Peel

Effective in reducing acne scars and improving skin texture, chemical peels exfoliate the top layers of skin, boost cell turnover, and encourage the growth of smoother, healthier-looking skin.

Laser Skin Rejuvenation

Laser skin rejuvenation helps reduce the appearance of scars by stimulating collagen production, resurfacing the skin, and targeting pigmentation or redness often found in scar tissue.

Frequently Asked Questions

Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling combines fine needles with RF energy, triggering the wound-healing response while stimulating collagen production and skin renewal. It breaks down scar tissue, smooths uneven texture, and enhances skin elasticity, helping to fade acne scars and reveal a smoother, more even complexion.

Plasma Pen Fibroblast uses controlled plasma energy to stimulate collagen, tighten skin, smooth uneven texture, reduce scar visibility, and enhance elasticity for a refined appearance.

Chemical peels help reduce scarring and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation by exfoliating the skin, accelerating cell turnover, and promoting the growth of new, even-toned skin. 

The frequency of treatments depends on the severity of your scarring and your response to the initial treatments. Your practitioner will customise the treatment plan based on your specific needs and goals.

Acne scarring treatments are suitable for most skin types, though the approach may vary based on your skin’s condition. Sensitive or darker skin may require adjustments to avoid irritation or pigmentation changes. A professional consultation ensures the best treatment plan for your skin.

Results can vary depending on the treatment type and the severity of the scars. You can typically see visible improvements after about 3 sessions. Consistency with treatments and adherence to skincare recommendations are key to achieving the best results.

The downtime with acne scarring treatments is minimal, depending on the treatment used. Common side effects include mild redness, swelling, or peeling, which typically subside within a few days. For more invasive treatments like microneedling or plasma pen, downtime may last up to a week. It’s important to follow aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and avoid complications.

While some scars may not be completely removed, the appearance of most scars can be significantly reduced through professional treatments.

Preventing acne scars involves early and effective treatment of acne to reduce inflammation and avoid skin damage. It’s also important to avoid picking or squeezing acne lesions, as this can increase the risk of scarring.
