Laser stretch mark treatment in Kyiv
Stretch marks (striae) are areas where the skin stretched faster than it could recover, tearing its collagen fibres. Creams only moisturise the surface, whereas LineLase™ laser stretch mark treatment on the Fotona system works on the skin's structure: the stretch mark becomes narrower, smoother and closer to your natural skin tone.
No method can remove a stretch mark completely. But after a course, most stretch marks become noticeably less visible, especially newer ones.

How LineLase™ treats stretch marks
The LineLase™ protocol combines two stages of the Er:YAG erbium laser:
- SMOOTH® mode gently heats the skin without damaging the surface. This triggers new collagen production and increases the firmness of the skin around the stretch mark.
- Fractional treatment creates microscopic treatment zones within the stretch mark, leaving untouched skin between them. The body fills them with new collagen, and the stretch mark levels out with the surrounding skin.
Collagen keeps forming for another 6–9 months after the treatment, so the result builds up gradually.
Which stretch marks can be treated with a laser
| Stage | What they look like | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| New | Pink, red or purple, may itch | Respond best to treatment; colour evens out faster |
| Transitional | Wider, darker | Noticeable narrowing and smoothing over a course |
| Old | White or silvery, slightly sunken | Become narrower and less visible; a longer course |
The earlier you start, the better the result. New stretch marks after childbirth can be treated once breastfeeding has ended.

How laser stretch mark treatment is performed
- 1. Assessment
The doctor determines the stage of the stretch marks and your skin phototype, and checks for contraindications.
- 2. Preparation
The area is cleansed and, if needed, a numbing cream is applied.
- 3. Laser treatment
From 20 minutes to an hour, depending on the area. You feel warmth and tingling.
- 4. After the treatment
Redness and a mild burning sensation pass within 2–3 days. Healing aftercare and SPF are needed; avoid tanning and saunas for a few days.
How many sessions you need
The number depends on the area and the stage of the stretch marks: usually a course of several sessions, 4–6 weeks apart. New stretch marks often need fewer sessions, while old white ones need more. The first changes are visible after a few weeks, and the final result 6–9 months after the course.

Frequently asked questions about laser stretch mark treatment
Can stretch marks be removed completely with a laser?
Not completely – no method can do that. The laser makes stretch marks narrower, smoother and closer to your skin tone, so they become much less noticeable.
Does the laser help with old white stretch marks?
Yes, but the result is more modest and the course longer than for new pink stretch marks. The doctor will assess the expected effect at the examination.
When can stretch marks be treated after childbirth?
Once breastfeeding has ended. At this point, new stretch marks are still pink and respond well to treatment.
Is it painful?
You feel warmth and tingling. For sensitive areas, the doctor applies a numbing cream.
Who should not have laser stretch mark treatment?
Pregnancy and breastfeeding, cancer, inflammation or infection in the treatment area, a fresh tan, a tendency to keloid scarring, taking photosensitising medication.
