Laser stretch mark treatment at MED-LASER Jihlava offers a clinically guided approach to reducing the visibility of striae — the collagen-disruption scars that form when skin is rapidly stretched during growth, pregnancy, rapid weight change, or muscle building. Stretch marks in their early, red-to-purple (striae rubrae) phase respond particularly well to vascular laser targeting, as the blood vessels feeding the active lesion can be closed down to reduce colour and inflammation. Mature white or silver stretch marks (striae albae) respond to the collagen-remodelling effect of fractional laser energy, which stimulates new matrix production in the thinned dermal tissue. The clinic's laser portfolio covers both mechanisms, enabling treatment to be adapted to the age and presentation of the patient's stretch marks. Sessions start from 1,500 Kč and are typically structured as a course.
About this treatment
Stretch marks form when the dermis undergoes rapid mechanical stretching that outpaces the skin's natural elasticity. The dermal collagen and elastin fibres tear, and the body lays down disorganised replacement collagen in the damaged zone. In the early stages, the newly injured tissue is vascularised and the marks appear pink, red, or purple — this is the striae rubrae phase. Over time the vascularity reduces, the marks flatten and widen, and they fade…
For striae rubrae (red/active marks), pulsed-dye or Nd:YAG vascular laser wavelengths can selectively target the haemoglobin in the feeding blood vessels, closing them and reducing the active inflammatory phase. This diminishes colour and may partially interrupt the disorganised collagen deposition at an early enough stage to improve the ultimate cosmetic outcome.
For striae albae (white/mature marks), the challenge is the opposite: the tissue is now hypopigmented and hypovascular. Fractional laser delivery stimulates fibroblasts in the thin, depleted dermis to produce new collagen and elastin, gradually restoring some thickness and surface regularity to the mark. The epidermis may also resurface with slightly more normal pigmentation over a series of sessions.
