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 aren’t just problematic for women, they’re also troublesome for men. Elastin, which keeps the skin elasticity, becomes disrupted due to changes in hormonal levels or body shape, resulting in cracks under the skin’s surface. These are so-called elongated scars, which are pinkish to red at first, then lighten and create a tiny recess on the skin. Most often, they are present on problematic parts of the body such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks and women’s breasts, as well as men’s shoulders or arms. However, it’s a skin reaction, not a disease. In addition to stretch-marks, many patients are troubled with various scars, such as acne or keloid (clusters of scarring) or hypertrophic (protruding). Whether it’s from an aesthetic point of view or your predisposition for scar formation is of genetic character or they’re simply located in an area where you have trouble, such scars and stretch-marks, they can be corrected or removed effectively.
This is a day-care, mini-invasive procedure. When removing scars and stretch-marks, releasing a thermal energy – radiofrequency wave penetrates into subcutaneous collagen fibres using microneedles. By heating the skin ligamentous fibres, the renewal process of collagen and elastin starts without damaging the dermal surface, while the regeneration process begins in the subcutaneous area, improving the skin’s appearance and unifying the surface. Scar and stretch-mark removal using microneedle radiofrequency is successful up to 90% of the time, depending on the size of the treated area, the genetic predispositions and the quality of skin cells. To reduce pigment stretch-marks, reduce acne and scars, this highly-effective, safe and painless treatment with the AureliA medical device can be used as well. The principle is in the combined use of intense heat discharge along with radiofrequency waves, which leads to the stimulation of surface and deeper tissues without penetrating into the pigment. It replaces other laser treatments more effectively.

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 offers the most effective method of stretch-mark reduction – the SECRET microneedle radiofrequency. As the only technology, it’s also effective on white stretch-marks.

Contraindications: Inflammation, acute infection, bacterial dermatitis Neoplastic diseases including skin cancer Pregnancy, breastfeeding Allergies, autoimmune diseases, asthma Diabetes Epilepsy Vascular diseases, varicose veins, thrombosis Heart issues High blood pressure 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!
