Best Treatments for Stretch Marks

Are stretch marks making you feel self-conscious about your skin? Whether they appeared after pregnancy, weight changes, or growth spurts, stretch marks are a common concern that can affect anyone. These lines—often red, purple, or silvery—form when the skin stretches quickly and collagen fibers break.

At Kovak Cosmetic Center, we understand how frustrating these marks can be. That’s why we offer the latest treatments to visibly fade stretch marks and help you love the skin you’re in.

What to Expect After Stretch Mark Treatments at Kovak Cosmetic Center

1 to 2 Weeks

Shortly after your first session, you may notice mild redness or sensitivity as your skin starts its renewal process. Most clients can return to normal activities the same day, and your stretch marks may begin to look slightly softer or less inflamed.

✓ No major downtime
✓ Early signs of skin smoothing
✓ Comfortable, low-maintenance recovery

3 to 5 Weeks

As collagen begins to rebuild, your stretch marks continue to fade and your skin texture feels more even. Discoloration diminishes, and the affected area looks healthier and more uniform. Friends or family may even notice your newfound confidence.

✓ Noticeable fading of stretch marks
✓ Smoother, more resilient skin
✓ Improved self-esteem

2 to 3 Months

Results become more pronounced as deeper layers of the skin remodel. Stretch marks look dramatically lighter and blend better with surrounding skin, while the treated area feels firmer and more supple. Many clients say their clothing fits better and they feel less need to cover up.

✓ Dramatic reduction in visible marks
✓ Enhanced skin elasticity
✓ Freedom to wear what you love

4 to 6 Months

Your skin’s transformation reaches its peak, with lasting improvements in tone and texture. Stretch marks appear much less noticeable, and your skin remains strong and healthy. Enjoy long-term confidence and renewed comfort in your own skin.

✓ Lasting improvement in skin tone
✓ Natural-looking results
✓ Long-term confidence boost
