What are stretch marks?
Stretch marks are long, narrow streaks or lines that develop on the skin when it is stretched rapidly, such as during puberty, pregnancy, or significant weight changes. They occur when the underlying connective tissue is torn, resulting in visible marks that can be red, purple, or silver in color.

Scars and stretch marks can significantly affect your skin's appearance and your self-confidence. Whether caused by pregnancy, weight changes, or injuries, these marks don't have to be permanent.

Common questions
1
What type of scars and stretch marks can be treated?
Our treatments are effective on all types of scars and stretch marks, regardless of their cause or age. This includes stretch marks from pregnancy, growth spurts, or weight changes, as well as scars from surgeries or injuries.
2
How does the fractional laser treatment work?
The
fractional laser emits pulses of light that penetrate the skin’s surface to stimulate natural healing and the growth of new collagen. This reduces the appearance of scars and stretch marks by smoothing out the texture and improving skin tone.
3
What can I expect during a laser treatment session?
A typical session lasts about 30 minutes. During the treatment, you may experience a slight sensation of heat, but discomfort is minimal. Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the session.
4
What are the expected results?
While results vary, most patients see a significant improvement in the appearance of scars and stretch marks. The treated areas typically show less pronounced markings and a more uniform skin texture. Several sessions may be necessary to achieve optimal results.

Dr. Doug Mest and the amazing staff at Pier Medical always make me feel like a beauty queen! No one is better with a needle than Dr. Mest, fast with a light accurate touch you barely feel any sting. Bruising can occur with some injections but he never leaves a mark on me.
