Stretch marks and scars tell stories, don’t they? Maybe yours appeared during pregnancy, or maybe they’re from the rapid weight changes we all experience at some point. Scars from acne or injuries? They stick around as uninvited reminders of the past.
Stretch marks pop up when your skin stretches too fast. That’s during pregnancy, sudden weight gain, or even those awkward growth during puberty. The rapid stretch tears the skin beneath the surface, leaving marks behind.
Scars, on the other hand, happen when your skin tries to repair itself after an injury like acne, cuts, or scrapes. Sometimes, there pair job isn’t perfect, leaving behind marks that can feel impossible to fade.
And let’s be honest. How many lotions, creams, and soaps have you tried, hoping to erase them? Only to find they promise magic but deliver disappointment? Well, here are treatments at Refine Skin & Body Clinic and Refine Skin & Body Care Center that might just change the game.
PRP Treatment
PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma. And it comes from your own blood. Your blood is packed with natural healing powers, and PRP treatment taps into that to help your skin heal itself.
Our Lead Specialist draws a small sample of your blood that is spun in a machine that separates it into different parts. He takes the part rich in platelets because those are the healing cells, and injects it directly to the areas where you have scars or stretch marks.
PRP also works wonders by stimulating your skin’s production of collagen. Why is collagen important? It’s the stuff that keeps your skin firm, smooth, and youthful. With more collagen, stretch marks and scars can fade. PRP also improves the texture, firmness of your skin and rejuvenates it from the inside-out. It isn’t just a surface-level fix. In addition, there is minimal likelihood of side effects, it is non-surgical, meaning no downtime and it is very effective, because it works from within, rebuilding your skin layer by layer.
Dermapen microneedling
Dermapen Microneedling could be your skin’s new bestfriend. How does it work?
This treatment reduces the appearance of stretch marks and scars by stimulating the skin’s natural healing process. The Dermapen creates tiny, controlled punctures in the skin using fine needles. These micro-injuries trigger your body’s wound healing response without actually damaging the outer layer of skin.
As part of the healing process, your body ramps up production of collagen and elastin proteins that keep skin firm, smooth, and elastic. This helps fill in and smooth out indented scars like acne or surgical scars, improve skin texture in areas with stretch marks and fade the color of scars and stretch marks by promoting new, healthy skin cells.
The micro-channels created by Microneedling increase the absorption of serums or treatments applied right after the procedure, often ones rich in peptides, hyaluronic acid, or vitamins that further support skin regeneration. It’s not a one-and-done treatment. Results are progressive and typically seen over several sessions (usually 3–6 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart).
CO₂ Laser treatment
This isn’t just another treatment. It’s a game-changer for anyone who’s carried the stories of scars or stretch marks a little too long, those marks might be part of your journey but, they don’t have to define your skin. Here’s how it works:
Using fractionated carbon dioxide, this laser creates tiny, controlled injuries in the skin. Don’t worry, it’s all part of the plan. These micro-injuries trigger your body’s natural healing process, prompting a powerful surge of collagen production. As your skin rebuilds, it sheds damaged layers, revealing smoother, fresher, more even-toned skin beneath.
