Laser against stretch marks
Targeted remodeling for smoother-looking skin
They usually appear as reddish to silvery-white lines: so-called stretch marks. As a result of significant weight gain and loss, for example during pregnancy, many people are affected by them and find them unsightly and annoying. The good news is that modern, fractionated lasers can visibly reduce stretch marks. The skin structure is firmed, the lines appear flatter and the surface is more even.
At our Frankfurt practice, we value honest advice and comprehensible results. Dr. Abuagela and his team work with sophisticated methods and devices that are tailored to your skin type and the extent of the stretch marks.

Definition of
What does the laser do for stretch marks?
Striae are micro-fine “breaks” in the supporting tissue of the skin. They occur when the skin fibers are overloaded in depth – for example after growth spurts, pregnancy, weight fluctuations or intensive sporting activities. This is why they are referred to as stretch marks.
During laser treatment, microscopic injuries are caused in the tissue in a controlled manner, which stimulate collagen and elastin production. The aim of this is to replace the old, scarred skin with new, tightened tissue.
The lines become flatter, the edges softer, the skin tone more harmonious.
Reasons
Who is laser treatment for stretch marks suitable for?
Fractional laser therapy is useful if you want to reduce the visible depth and width of your striae, soften the edges and harmonize the overall appearance of your skin. It is suitable for different skin areas such as the stomach, hips, buttocks, thighs or breasts – regardless of whether the striae are still reddish (fresh) or have already faded to a whitish color.
Benefit in particular:
- People with mild to pronounced striae after pregnancy, growth spurts or weight changes.
- Patients with older, light-colored stretch marks who want structural smoothing.
- Anyone who prefers a non-surgical solution with a predictable recovery time.
