To remove scars and stretch marks, we use several methods – CO2 laser, microneedling radiofrequency, corticosteroid injections.
The removal of scars and stretch marks can today be effectively achieved or significantly lightened by modern state-of-the-art medical device technology – microneedling radiofrequency, fractional high-performance CO2 laser, or medical IPL device (intense pulsed light). These methods can eliminate stretch marks, which occur due to a disruption of the skin’s connective tissue, resulting in skin thinning and the formation of striae, for example, due to skin stretching from being overweight, as a consequence of pregnancy, hormonal changes during adolescence, or due to endocrine disorders (Cushing’s syndrome), etc. Scars from acne or injuries can also be effectively removed.
Scar and stretch mark removal can be performed on almost all areas of the body, regardless of skin type. The ideal treatment for the removal of scars and stretch marks is microneedling radiofrequency due to its effective action on older or previously reduced stretch marks and scars, resulting in a reduction of skin irregularities as well as effective resizing. Unlike other radiofrequency treatments, which can often be painful, this modern method is capable of effectively controlling the thermal energy’s strength to precisely targeted depths without risks or damage. The microneedles act on the deeper layers of the epidermis, where they effectively stimulate collagen and elastin fibers, leading to tightening and subsequent reduction and lightening of scars or stretch marks. The procedure can also alternatively be performed using fractional CO2 laser treatment. We choose laser treatment, for example, if the given scar is also significantly pigmented. The use of laser is also suitable for the so-called abrasion of the given scar (if it is raised, that is, hypertrophic). For better effectiveness, it is advisable to repeat the procedure 3 times, approximately every 4–6 weeks.
Stretch marks affect not only women but also men. Elastin, which keeps the skin elastic, is disrupted due to hormonal or bodily changes, resulting in the formation of small cracks beneath the skin's surface. They are essentially elongated scars that initially appear pink to red, later lightening to create tiny depressions on the skin. They most frequently occur on problematic areas of the body, such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, and in women, also on the breasts, while in men they appear on the shoulders or arms. It is, however, a reaction of the skin, not a disease. In addition to stretch marks, many patients are troubled by various scars, such as those from acne, or keloid (clusters of scarring) or hypertrophic (raised) scars. Whether it is from an aesthetic standpoint, or if genetics predispose you to scar formation, or they are located in an area that causes you discomfort, scar and stretch mark removal can be effectively corrected or eliminated.
The procedure is outpatient and minimally invasive. During the removal of scars and stretch marks, thermal energy is introduced into the subcutaneous collagen fibers through the use of micro-needles – radiofrequency waves. By heating the skin’s connective tissue fibers, the process of collagen and elastin regeneration is initiated without damaging the dermal surface; simultaneously, a regeneration process begins in the subcutaneous area, leading to an improvement in the appearance of the skin and a smoothing of its surface. Depending on the size of the treated area, genetic predispositions, and the quality of skin cells, the removal of scars and stretch marks with microneedle radiofrequency is successful in up to 90%. For the reduction of pigmented stretch marks, acne-prone skin, and scars, medical device treatment is also highly effective, safe, and painless. The principle lies in the combined use of intense thermal discharge and radiofrequency wave action, which stimulates both superficial and deeper tissues without penetrating into the pigment. It effectively replaces other laser treatments.

Removal of scars and stretch marks using microneedling radiofrequency visibly improves the condition of the skin and effectively combats light stretch marks. Today, this method is sought after in aesthetic medicine for its safety, without the need for surgical intervention. The procedure can be combined with other aesthetic treatments, including scar and stretch mark removal, IPL and radiofrequency, or fractional laser treatments.
Our plastic surgery clinic has the most effective method for stretch mark reduction - micro-needling radiofrequency. As the only technology, it is also effective on light stretch marks.

Every procedure must always be consulted with the attending physician, who will propose the optimal and effective solution and assess the patient’s suitability for the procedure. If you decide to undergo scar and stretch mark removal, it is necessary to protect the skin from sun exposure with high-quality, high-SPF creams approximately 3 weeks before the procedure. In the case of treating scars and stretch marks with fractional CO2 laser, it is essential to limit UV exposure before and after the procedure for at least 3 months.
For improving the surface of the skin, eliminating or reducing both new and old scars and stretch marks, the removal of scars and stretch marks with the highest quality medical devices is safe and gentle for you. However, it does have its limitations.
After treatment with micro-needling radiofrequency, the skin may exhibit redness for about 2 days, which will disappear on its own. In the case of scar and stretch mark treatments with fractional CO2 laser, healing is longer, approximately 7 – 14 days. We recommend applying quality moisturizing creams to the treated areas to prevent skin drying. After the procedure, avoid direct sunlight for about 3 months; it is necessary to protect the skin with high SPF sunscreen.
Following the removal of scars and stretch marks, there is an improvement in appearance. An absolutely unique result is noticeable immediately after the first treatment, especially with acne scars, skin irregularities, and stretch marks.
Beautiful and healthy skin is the dream of each of us and is evidence of good skin care. However, some cosmetic skin imperfections may be due to genetics or the inability to produce collagen and elastin fibers for more elastic and smoother skin. If you are already experiencing unsightly stretch marks or are troubled by scars of any kind, give us the opportunity to take care of them. The removal of scars and stretch marks is painless, and you will also achieve beautiful skin!
