Why Choose Dr. Avaliani for Stretch Marks Treatment?
Stretch marks affect up to 75% of pregnant women and 25% of people during puberty. These breaks in the skin’s collagen and elastin fibers create visible lines that can be difficult to treat with topical products alone. Dr. Avaliani uses advanced laser and collagen-stimulating technologies to rebuild the skin from within, significantly fading both new (red/purple) and old (white/silver) stretch marks.

What Are Stretch Marks?
Stretch marks (striae) are visible lines on the skin caused by breaks in the collagen and elastin fibers within the dermis. They initially appear as elevated red-to-purple lines (striae rubra) and gradually fade to white, atrophic skin with a fine wrinkled appearance (striae alba). Common causes include pregnancy, rapid growth during puberty, weight fluctuations, and bodybuilding.
At Dr. Avaliani’s practice, stretch mark treatment begins with identifying the type and age of your stretch marks. Newer red/purple marks respond more quickly to treatment, while older white/silver marks require more sessions but still show significant improvement. Dr. Avaliani often combines multiple technologies for the most dramatic results.
How Stretch Mark Treatment Works
The stretch mark treatment follows a comprehensive, proven protocol:
- Dr. Avaliani evaluates your stretch marks to determine their type (rubra vs. alba), depth, and extent, then designs a customized combination protocol
- Advanced laser or microneedling technology delivers controlled energy to the damaged dermis, triggering your body’s natural collagen and elastin rebuilding response
- New collagen and elastin fibers form over weeks, gradually rebuilding the damaged skin structure from within
- The stretch marks progressively fade, flatten, and blend with surrounding skin as the dermal structure strengthens
- Over a series of 3-6 treatments, stretch marks show significant improvement in color, texture, and visibility
Areas We Treat for Stretch Marks
Abdomen
The most common area for stretch marks, especially during and after pregnancy. Abdominal stretch marks can range from fine lines to wide, deep marks. Laser and microneedling treatments stimulate collagen rebuilding to fade and smooth these marks significantly.
Hips & Thighs
Stretch marks on the hips and thighs commonly develop during puberty, pregnancy, or rapid weight changes. These areas respond well to PicoSure Focus laser and microneedling with growth factors, rebuilding collagen for smoother, more even skin texture.
Buttocks
Stretch marks on the buttocks often result from rapid growth, weight gain, or hormonal changes. Combination treatments target the damaged dermal layer, stimulating new collagen production to fade and flatten stretch marks across the gluteal area.
Breasts
Stretch marks on the breasts commonly appear during puberty, pregnancy, or weight fluctuations. Gentle yet effective technologies like PicoSure Focus laser treat breast stretch marks safely, stimulating collagen without heat for comfortable improvement.
Upper Arms
Stretch marks on the upper arms and shoulders, common in men from bodybuilding or rapid muscle growth. These marks respond well to RF microneedling and PicoSure Focus treatments that rebuild the dermis and improve skin elasticity.
Lower Back
Lower back stretch marks often develop during puberty growth spurts or pregnancy. These marks can be effectively treated with the same collagen-stimulating technologies used on other body areas, fading visibility and improving skin texture.
Our Stretch Mark Technologies
Dr. Avaliani offers multiple advanced technologies for stretch mark treatment. Sometimes one treatment alone isn’t enough. A combination approach yields the best results:
PicoSure® Focus
The gold standard for stretch mark treatment. This revolutionary picosecond laser uses unique pico technology to stimulate collagen and elastin production without heat, resulting in tighter, smoother skin. Safe for ALL skin types with zero downtime. Effective for both new and old stretch marks.
Genius® RF Microneedling
FDA-cleared radiofrequency microneedling that delivers controlled RF energy through insulated needles deep into the damaged dermis. Triggers intense collagen remodeling at the exact depth where stretch mark damage occurs. Safe for all skin tones and highly effective for deeper marks.
Eclipse MicroPen™ + PRP
Eclipse MicroPen Elite creates micro-channels in the skin, stimulating collagen production and allowing enhanced absorption of growth factor serums. Combined with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) from your own blood, this treatment accelerates healing and collagen rebuilding for improved stretch mark texture.

Does It Hurt?
Your comfort options (we tailor this to you)
Comfort varies by technology. PicoSure Focus feels like light snapping with minimal discomfort and requires no numbing. Genius RF microneedling involves brief pinching with topical numbing applied beforehand. Eclipse MicroPen with PRP is comfortable with numbing cream. All treatments are well tolerated.
Dr. Avaliani prioritizes your comfort at every step. Pro-Nox (nitrous oxide) is available for patients who prefer additional relaxation during any stretch mark treatment. Most sessions take 30-60 minutes depending on the treatment area. Downtime ranges from zero (PicoSure) to 1-2 days of mild redness (microneedling).

Stretch Marks Treatment frequently asked questions
What causes stretch marks?
Stretch marks are caused by rapid stretching of the skin that breaks the collagen and elastin fibers in the dermis. Common causes include pregnancy (affecting up to 75% of women), puberty growth spurts (about 25% chance), rapid weight gain or loss, bodybuilding, and certain medications like corticosteroids.
Can old stretch marks be treated?
Yes. While newer red or purple stretch marks (striae rubra) respond more quickly, older white or silver marks (striae alba) also show significant improvement with treatment. Dr. Avaliani uses combination protocols with PicoSure Focus, RF microneedling, and growth factors to rebuild collagen in older marks.
How many treatments will I need?
Most patients see meaningful improvement with a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. The exact number depends on your stretch mark type, age, and depth. Newer marks typically require fewer sessions, while older marks may benefit from additional treatments.
Is the treatment painful?
PicoSure Focus feels like light snapping with minimal discomfort and requires no numbing. Genius RF microneedling and Eclipse MicroPen involve brief pinching with topical numbing cream applied beforehand. Pro-Nox nitrous oxide is available for additional relaxation if desired.
What is the downtime?
Downtime varies by technology. PicoSure Focus has zero downtime. RF microneedling and MicroPen may cause 1 to 2 days of mild redness that can be covered with clothing. Most patients return to their daily routine immediately after treatment.
Is treatment safe for all skin tones?
Yes. Dr. Avaliani specifically selects technologies that are safe for ALL skin types and colors. PicoSure Focus uses picosecond technology without heat, making it safe for darker skin tones. Treatment is customized to your individual skin characteristics.
Can stretch marks be completely removed?
While complete removal of stretch marks is difficult, most patients achieve 50 to 80 percent improvement in the appearance of their marks. The goal is to significantly fade color, improve texture, and reduce visibility so marks are no longer a noticeable concern.
What is PicoSure Focus?
PicoSure Focus is a revolutionary picosecond laser that stimulates collagen and elastin production using ultra-short energy pulses without heat. It is considered the gold standard for stretch mark treatment, safe for all skin types, and requires zero downtime.
Can I treat stretch marks during pregnancy?
Laser and energy-based treatments are not performed during pregnancy. However, treatment can begin after delivery and breastfeeding. Many new mothers schedule stretch mark treatment as part of their postpartum body restoration plan.
How do I prevent new stretch marks?
Keeping skin well-moisturized, maintaining a stable weight, and gradual muscle building can help reduce the risk. During pregnancy, consistent use of moisturizers may help, though genetics play a significant role. If new marks do appear, early treatment when they are still red or purple yields the fastest improvement.
