How much does scar and stretch mark reduction cost?

The overall price of the treatment will vary, depending on a number of factors, including the size of the area being treated and the severity of the scar or stretch mark. During your consultation, and once we've assessed the treatment area, we'll be able to provide a detailed treatment plan, as well as a cost estimate.

Is scar and stretch mark reduction covered by insurance?

Due to scar and stretch mark reduction being classified as a cosmetic treatment, it is not covered by insurance. However, we can work with our patients to try to find a treatment or financing plan that fits within their budget.

Is scar and stretch mark reduction permanent?

Yes. Once your treatment plan has concluded, your scar and/or stretch mark will not return. In some cases, it may take some time after the last treatment before the final results become totally visible.

Can old scars or stretch marks still be treated effectively?

Yes, even older scars and stretch marks can often be improved with the right treatments. While older marks may take more sessions or a combination of techniques, modern technologies are designed to target both new and old areas. Results depend on factors like the depth, size, and location of the scar or stretch mark, but even well-established ones can show significant improvement.

How long does it take to see results from scar or stretch mark reduction?

The timeline for noticeable results varies depending on the treatment type and the severity of the scar or stretch mark. Some people notice improvements after just a few sessions, while others may require several months of treatment to achieve their desired outcome. Your skin's natural healing process plays a role while the treatments stimulate collagen and elastin production over time.

Can scar and stretch mark reduction treatments be done on all skin types?

Yes, most modern scar and stretch mark treatments are designed to be safe and effective for all skin types. However, some methods may need to be adjusted for darker or more sensitive skin to prevent unwanted side effects like discoloration. During your consultation, our team will evaluate your skin type and recommend the best approach for your needs. Advances in technology have made these treatments more inclusive, ensuring results are achievable for everyone.
