ADELAIDE CO2 Laser Scar / Stretchmark Treatment
Eve On 21 offers the latest in technology and innovation to help you to look and feel your very best, including stretchmark treatment using fractional CO2 laser.
What are Stretch Marks?
Stretch marks (Striae distensae), is a dermatological term for a type of scarring that occurs in the dermal layer of the skin due to overstretching. Stretch marks are very common, and most people have experienced them at some point.
Can stretchmarks be removed?
Stretch marks are very common and most people have experienced them at some point in their lives, newer stretch marks are when the skin rapidly stretches during periods of rapid growth, weight gain, pregnancy, or sometimes when there is a history of stretchmarks in the family.
New stretch marks can be more noticeable in individuals with darker skin, and they can be distressing for men and women as we often can’t help getting them and they seem virtually impossible to get rid of.
Fine white lines appear when the skin stretches, because collagen production is disrupted, meaning connective tissue won’t grow as it should. Dermal and epidermal tearing occurs as a result of this, as the skin isn’t as elastic as it should be. Maintaining a healthy weight can help prevent stretch marks.
It’s also important to consider your medical history, as certain health conditions can contribute to the development of stretch marks.
Eve On 21 offers the latest in technology and innovation to help you to look and feel your very best, including stretch mark treatment using fractional CO2 laser.
Fractional CO2 laser treatment is used to restore skin elasticity and integrity, which can be enhanced by using PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma). Maintaining skin elasticity is crucial to prevent stretch marks and treat it effectively.
There are some skin products which can also further assist getting rid of stretch marks, allowing your skin to return to a more youthful condition.
Adelaide’s Eve On 21 can help rid you of stretch marks by using Fractional CO2 laser and PRP treatment, and lead to the production of new, healthy skin.
What is fractional CO2 laser treatment?
Fractional CO2 laser treatment is a fast, non-surgical solution for skin resurfacing and helping to improve stretch marks.
Treating both superficial stretch mark symptoms and deep skin layers, Fractional CO2 laser treatment works for adult men and women of all ages and is a safe, quick, and easy procedure that we can do in our rooms at Eve On 21. This treatment can effectively get rid of stretch marks by targeting the affected areas and promoting new skin growth.
The procedure takes around half an hour and involves the application of a topical anaesthetic and a cooling device to make you more comfortable and ready to return to normal activity within days of your treatment.
One of our specialist health professionals will apply the treatment and within 24 hours, new epidermal skin will begin to develop, with results visible after just one treatment, making it an effective option for treating stretch marks.
Episiotomy scar correction
Similar to stretchmarks, Eve On 21 can also help out with episiotomy scar corrections.
If you have had an episiotomy or a perineal tear, the scar tissue around the area can become tight and may become attached to layers below which in turn may cause discomfort during intercourse and during activity.
Like stretch marks, Fractional CO2 laser treatment can be used to restore the skin’s integrity and connective tissue, which can be enhanced by using PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma), to lessen the effects of the scar.

Benefits of CO2 Laser for Stretch Marks Laser Treatment
CO2 laser therapy is highly effective for reducing the visibility of stretch marks and improving skin texture. This treatment can make stretch marks less noticeable and skin colour more consistent with the surrounding skin.
Stretch Mark Removal Treatments: Laser Options
Apart from CO2 lasers, other laser treatments like fractional lasers and vascular lasers are used to treat stretch marks. Each type has specific benefits and is suited for different types of stretch marks and skin types.
Treating Older Stretch Marks with CO2 Laser
Treating older stretch marks, which often appear white or silver, can be reduced using CO2 laser therapy. This cosmetic procedure helps to improve the appearance of stretch marks by encouraging skin regeneration and increasing collagen production.
The age and the severity of the stretch marks play a crucial role in determining how effective the CO2 laser treatment will be. While new stretch marks might respond more quickly to treatment, improvements can still be seen in older stretch marks with the right approach.
For many, especially pregnant women looking to not develop stretch marks and restore their skin’s appearance post-pregnancy, CO2 laser offers a promising solution to improve stretch marks and boost confidence.
Using this technology, even long-standing stretch marks and scars can become less noticeable, blending more naturally with the surrounding skin.
Combination Treatments
For best results, CO2 laser treatment can be combined with other therapies, such as radiofrequency energy or RF microneedling. These treatments can enhance collagen production and improve the overall effectiveness of laser stretch mark reduction.
Preparation for Laser Treatment
Preparing for laser treatment involves several steps, including discussing your medical history and skin care routine during the initial consultation. Avoiding sun exposure and following pre-treatment instructions are crucial for a successful outcome.
The Procedure: What to Expect
During the CO2 laser treatment, you will experience a sensation of heat with minimal discomfort in the affected area with the help of topical numbing cream. The procedure usually takes about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the treated area.
Post-Treatment Care
After the treatment, it’s essential to follow the care instructions provided by your clinician to ensure proper healing and optimal results. This includes skin care products to aid healing and protect the skin.
Results and Follow-Up
Results from CO2 laser treatment for stretch marks can be noticeable after a few sessions, though several treatments may be necessary for optimal results. Regular follow-up appointments are crucial to monitor progress and decide if additional sessions are needed.
