Scars & Stretch Marks
Whether from acne, surgery, injury, or pregnancy — scars and stretch marks are deeply personal. Modern aesthetic treatments can dramatically improve their appearance, restoring smoother, more even skin you feel confident about.
Understanding Scars & Stretch Marks
Scars form when the skin’s natural wound-healing process produces excess collagen — or doesn’t produce enough — leaving visible marks that differ in texture, color, and depth from surrounding skin. Acne scars, surgical scars, and traumatic injury scars each have different characteristics that require different treatment approaches.
Pregnancy, growth spurts, rapid weight changes, and bodybuilding can stretch skin faster than it can adapt — tearing collagen and elastin fibers in the dermis.
Both scars and stretch marks involve disrupted collagen architecture. Modern treatments work by breaking down disorganized scar tissue and stimulating the production of new, properly aligned collagen — gradually replacing damaged tissue with healthier skin.
Raised or Depressed Scars
Acne, surgery, or injury scars that sit above or below the surrounding skin surface.
Uneven Texture
Rough, pitted, or irregularly textured skin at scar sites that differs from surrounding areas.
Stretch Marks
Indented streaks on abdomen, thighs, hips, or breasts — red/purple when new, silvery-white when mature.
Color Differences
Scarred skin that appears darker, lighter, or redder than the surrounding complexion.
Tightness & Pulling
Restricted movement or pulling sensation around scar tissue, especially with larger or deeper scars.
What Causes Scarring
Inflammatory acne damages deeper skin layers. When the skin repairs itself, it often produces too much or too little collagen — leaving atrophic (depressed) or hypertrophic (raised) scars.
Any wound that penetrates the dermis triggers scar formation. Surgical incisions, cuts, and burns all leave scars that vary in severity based on wound depth and healing.
Rapid Stretching
Rapid Stretching Pregnancy, growth spurts, rapid weight changes, and bodybuilding can stretch skin faster than it can adapt — tearing collagen and elastin fibers in the dermis.
How your body scars is partly genetic. Some people are more prone to thick, raised scars (keloids) while others scar minimally. Older scars become harder to treat but still respond.
How We Treat It
Scar revision requires a layered approach — breaking down old tissue while building new collagen. Aimee combines the right treatments for your specific scar type and severity.
Fusion Plasma Scar Treatments
Advanced plasma resurfacing specifically designed for scar revision — acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks. Stimulates deep collagen remodeling for smoother, more even skin.
Fractional Resurfacing
Precision laser creates micro-zones of treatment that stimulate new collagen production — smoothing depressed scars, evening texture, and improving overall skin quality.
Scarlet Pro RF Microneedling
Combines microneedling with radiofrequency to break down scar tissue and rebuild collagen at a structural level. Effective for both facial scars and body stretch marks.
Microneedling
Creates controlled micro-injuries that trigger your body’s collagen response. Helps smooth texture, reduce scar depth, and improve skin quality around scarred areas.
Aimee's Approach to Scar Revision
Scar revision is one of the most rewarding areas of aesthetic treatment — but it requires patience, expertise, and honest expectations. Aimee evaluates each scar individually, considering its type, depth, age, and location to build the most effective treatment plan.
Her multi-modality approach combines technologies that work at different depths and through different mechanisms — so you get comprehensive improvement, not just surface-level change.
Scars cannot be completely erased, but they can be dramatically improved — often to the point where they're barely noticeable. Aimee will give you an honest assessment of what's achievable for your specific scars.
Scar Classification
Scar Classification Scar type (atrophic, hypertrophic, stretch marks), depth, texture, discoloration, and overall skin condition are carefully evaluated to determine the most appropriate treatment approach and combination plan for your specific concerns.
Break Down Old Tissue
Plasma resurfacing or fractional laser breaks down disorganized scar tissue, creating space for new, healthier tissue to form.
Rebuild Collagen
RF microneedling and microneedling stimulate fresh collagen production that’s properly aligned — gradually filling depressed areas and smoothing raised scars.
Refine & Maintain
As improvement compounds with each session, Aimee adjusts the plan based on how your skin responds. Some scars require ongoing maintenance for best long-term results.
Scars & Stretch Marks FAQ
While scars can’t be completely erased, modern treatments can improve their appearance by 50–80% or more.
Newer (red/purple) stretch marks respond faster, but even older (silver/white) stretch marks can be significantly improved with the right combination of treatments.
Most scar revision requires 3–6+ sessions depending on the severity and type of scarring. Each session builds on the last, so improvement is progressive. Aimee will outline a realistic timeline at your consultation.
Topical numbing is applied for all scar revision treatments. Most clients report the procedures are very tolerable. Some treatments involve several days of healing, but Aimee provides complete aftercare guidance.
There's no age limit for scar treatment. Even decades-old scars respond to modern technologies. Older scars may require more sessions, but significant improvement is still achievable.
Our plasma revision and RF microneedling treatments work on scars and stretch marks anywhere on the body — abdomen, thighs, hips, back, chest, arms, and more.
