Stretch marks form when the skin stretches faster than it can adapt, such as during pregnancy, growth spurts, weight changes, or muscle building. The collagen and elastin in the dermis tear, leaving behind lines that may start red or purple and fade to silvery white. While stretch marks are harmless, many people feel self-conscious about them, and creams alone rarely make a lasting difference.
How CO2 Skin Resurfacing Helps
CO2 skin resurfacing removes thin layers of damaged skin and creates controlled micro-injuries that trigger the body’s healing response. As new collagen forms, the texture, color, and depth of stretch marks gradually improve, leaving skin smoother and more even. Noticeable results are often visible after just a few sessions, and with proper care, improvements can be long-lasting.
