Can stretch marks be removed?

Stretch marks cannot be erased fully but laser, RF, PN and exosomes can reduce them by 40–70%.

Laser causes 3–5 days of redness; Potenza causes mild redness for 1–2 days.

My tummy stretch marks after pregnancy were deep and white. The laser + PN treatment at RJ Clinic improved them so much more than any cream I tried.

Why Stretch Marks Appear & What Modern Treatment Can Do

Stretch marks are extremely common, appearing after pregnancy, weight changes, puberty, rapid muscle gain, or hormonal fluctuations. They form when the deeper layers of the skin stretch faster than collagen can adapt, causing small tears in the dermis. Over time, these marks may turn white, depressed, or texturally uneven — and many people feel self-conscious about them.

While creams, oils, and at-home solutions help moisturise the skin, they cannot repair the broken collagen fibers responsible for stretch marks. Real transformation happens when the deeper dermal layer is stimulated to rebuild itself.

At RJ Clinic, we use medical technologies clinically proven to improve the texture, colour, depth, and firmness of stretch marks. Using a personalised combination of ablative laser, Potenza RF microneedling, Croma PN, exosomes, retinol, and Renuvion J-Plasma, we treat the skin from the inside out — restoring elasticity, smoothing irregularities, and tightening loose skin.

Our approach is safe, doctor-led, and results-driven, fulfilling high standards of medical aesthetics practiced in Malaysia.

Stretch marks can appear anywhere — commonly on the stomach, thighs, breasts, hips, arms, and buttocks. They start as red or purple lines (striae rubrae) and gradually fade into white, depressed marks (striae albae).

Factors include:

pregnancy
rapid weight change
growth spurts during puberty
bodybuilding / gym workouts
genetics
hormonal fluctuations

These changes affect collagen and elastin — the supporting structure of the skin.

Topical stretch mark creams, oils and lotions may hydrate but cannot repair the torn dermis.
This is why professional treatments offer superior, measurable results.

Understanding Stretch Marks

RJ Clinic’s Evidence-Based Stretch Mark Solutions

Stretch marks form when the deeper layers of the skin stretch faster than collagen can keep up, leading to tiny dermal tears. While topical creams may offer hydration, true stretch mark improvement requires medical treatments that stimulate new collagen formation at deeper levels.

Clinical Reference: Studies show that fractional laser and microneedling therapies significantly stimulate collagen and improve stretch mark appearance.

At RJ Clinic, the most effective options include:

Fractional Ablative Laser (Er:YAG / CO₂ Options)

This advanced laser creates controlled micro-columns in the skin to break down old scar tissue and trigger rapid collagen remodeling. It improves texture, depth, colour irregularities, and skin smoothness. Excellent for older, white stretch marks.

Potenza RF Microneedling

Potenza combines microneedling with radiofrequency to deliver heat into the dermis, tightening and thickening the skin while rebuilding collagen. Ideal for deep, wide, or longstanding stretch marks.

Renuvion J-Plasma (Subdermal Contracting Technology)

Renuvion blends cold plasma with RF energy to tighten loose skin beneath the surface and stimulate strong collagen regeneration. Excellent for abdominal stretch marks after pregnancy or weight loss, especially when skin laxity is involved.

Croma PN (Polynucleotide Skin Repair)

PN improves cell regeneration, elasticity, hydration, and collagen density. Ideal when the stretch marks are associated with thinning or laxity of the skin. Often combined with Potenza for enhanced repair.

Exosome Regenerative Therapy

Exosomes boost fibroblast activity, accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and enhance collagen formation after laser or RF treatments. They significantly speed up recovery and amplify results.

Medical Retinol Program

Retinol enhances cell turnover, improves texture, and supports collagen rebuilding. Especially beneficial for early red/purple stretch marks or maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can stretch marks really be removed?

Stretch marks cannot be erased completely, but modern treatments can significantly reduce their colour, depth, and texture—often up to 40–70% improvement depending on severity and skin condition.

Which treatment works best?

How many sessions do I need?

Ablative laser is excellent for older white marks, while Potenza RF works well for deep or wide marks. PN and exosomes boost repair and speed up results.

Most patients need 3–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart for optimal results.
