Men are less likely than women to get stretch marks, but that doesn’t stop these scars from forming. Stretch marks are a scar that forms when the skin rapidly changes shape. The collagen and elastin rupture and stretch marks are the results.
Laser stretch mark removal for men temporarily reduces the appearance of stretch marks and scars. It also increases skin elasticity and improves skin tone. Stadia Med Spa uses the Clarity II laser for cosmetic scar and stretch mark removal.
The Clarity II sends light deep into the layers of the skin. The light turns to heat beneath the skin’s surface and restarts the body’s healing ability. It stimulates collagen and elastin production, breaks up scar tissue, and increases circulation in the treatment area.
The treatment takes time to work, and your results will improve as collagen matures. A few weeks after your treatment, the collagen will fill in the gaps in the skin, and your skin will look healthier, fuller, and clear of scars and stretch marks.
Clarity II is unique because it uses dual wavelengths of light. This allows your technician to adjust the laser to your unique skin tone and type. Most men need between three and five treatments to see a difference in scars and stretch marks.
Laser stretch mark removal for men is a skin resurfacing technique that targets scars, stretch marks, spider veins, and other natural skin formations. The treatment is safe for any skin type and is one of the most effective treatments for stretch marks on the market today.
Most people try topical stretch mark solutions first, but these treatments are expensive and relatively ineffective. Topical treatments only treat the skin’s surface and don’t address the deeper levels of ruptured collagen and elastin that cause stretch marks.
Laser stretch mark removal works underneath the skin to increase circulation and collagen production. The new collagen and elastin fill the skin ruptures to reduce blemishes and improve skin tone.
The benefits of laser stretch mark removal for men include:
Men who want an easy solution to stretch marks will want to seriously consider this FDA-approved treatment. Laser therapy is effective, comfortable, and safe. Stadia Med Spa recommends laser stretch mark removal for men with minor to moderate skin flaws like scars, spider veins, and uneven skin tone.

Before, During & After
If you’re interested in laser stretch mark removal at Stadia Med Spa, your journey starts with a free consultation. A treatment provider will meet with you to examine your stretch marks and scars to determine if laser therapy with Clarity II is the treatment for you.
During the consultation, you can ask questions about the procedure and address concerns. Bring a list of your current medications, prescriptions, and herbal supplements, as some medications interfere with your results.
Your Stadia Med Spa provider may also use the consultation to suggest alternative treatments to help you meet your skincare goals.
Before laser stretch mark removal, step up your skincare routine. Stay out of the sun for at least two weeks before treatment and shave within 24 hours of your appointment.
On the day of your treatment, keep your skin clean and clear of any products to prevent unwanted side effects.
On average, laser stretch mark removal takes about 30 minutes. Feel free to bring headphones or a book to pass the time!
During the treatment, you will feel a pulse of hot air and a prickling sensation on your skin. The heat is followed by a burst of cool air. Your provider will adjust the temperature depending on your feedback and preference.
The heat from the laser is tempered by the cool air, making topical anesthetics unnecessary. While most men don’t need an anesthetic, let your treatment provider know if you’d feel more comfortable with a numbing cream.
Recovery from laser stretch mark and scar removal is relatively straightforward. Your skin might feel red and sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn. Aloe vera or a sterilized ice pack to relieve discomfort after your treatment.
Avoid direct sunlight while your skin heals, and don’t apply any skincare products for at least 24 hours. If you need to clean the area, use a gentle cleanser, and don’t scrub your skin. Don’t shave the treatment area until the skin is fully healed.
Collagen takes time to build up, so don’t expect to see results right away! Your results will be visible 7 to 21 days after your treatment.
Laser stretch mark removal for men is a cosmetic treatment for clearer skin. The Clarity II laser speeds up collagen production, instigates healing, and improves circulation. The results aren’t permanent but can last for weeks or even months. Men who want to minimize stretch marks or scars, sun damage, and spider veins are excellent candidates for this non-invasive treatment.
Stretch mark removal with the Clarity II laser is effective for men of any skin type or tone. Your provider will adjust and customize your treatment to meet your skincare goals.
Men with older stretch marks may not see visible results from laser stretch mark removal. Older stretch marks are white and faded rather than vivid pink or red. Laser for stretch marks is more effective for new stretch marks.
Pay attention to Stadia Med Spa’s pre- and post-procedure instructions for your best results!
While stretch mark removal sounds permanent, the treatment doesn’t actually get rid of stretch marks. However, it does make stretch marks, scars, and other blemishes less visible.
Most men need two to six treatments to meet their skincare goals. After you’ve finished your treatment, you should see results within three to six months.
Results take time to appear because you are stimulating your body’s innate ability to heal itself. Collagen and elastin production increase and fill in the gaps over time.
Laser stretch mark removal is an FDA-approved treatment to reduce scars, stretch marks, spider veins, and other minor skin ailments. The Clarity II is safe and effective for men of any skin tone or type. Stadia Med Spa also uses Clarity II for laser hair removal.
The side effects and risks associated with laser stretch mark removal are well documented. Common side effects include redness, bruising, swelling, and burns. Most side effects will fade within a day or two of treatment.

The age and severity of your stretch marks will also influence your results. Immature or new stretch marks respond better to laser therapy. Old stretch marks are more difficult to treat. You may not see visible results after laser stretch mark removal.
