Various treatment options with JUVENIS

Treat stretch marks in Vienna

As the name suggests, stretch marks are caused by a strong stretching of the tissue. This can happen during rapid weight gain due to pregnancy or a growth spurt. The resulting tears in the subcutaneous tissue then appear as white stripes.

There are several ways to fade stretch marks. If they are still fresh and red, they can be treated with IPL. Microneedling is a gentle method for older, white stripes. Fractional laser has a similar effect. All methods stimulate the skin's self-healing process so that the skin structure can improve after several applications.

Treating stretch marks with IPL

Fresh, still reddened stretch marks or stretch marks from pregnancy can be treated with modern IPL technology. This is a gentle and gentle method of fading annoying stripes.

Treat stretch marks with a dermaroller / dermastamp

Microneedling is a simple and gentle method of treating those annoying striae. We use a special microneedling device equipped with very fine needles. This is a stamp.

During treatment, thousands of microscopic injuries occur, which trigger the body to activate the wound healing process. During the healing process, the skin produces collagen and evens out the unsightly lines, and the skin structure is demonstrably improved.

Treating stretch marks with fractional laser

Older stretch marks or stretch marks that are already white in color are treated with the modern fractional laser. This laser technology activates the skin's self-healing powers and causes the stretch marks to fade.

The laser emits pulses onto the skin that only treat fractions of the skin. However, this stimulates the skin to renew collagen formation.

Fractional laser treatment procedure

After the treatment

Treatment of stretch marks with the fractional laser causes the skin to become slightly red and slightly swollen. This redness disappears after approx. 3 to 7 days, after 2 to 3 days the skin becomes dry and chapped, so a moisturizing skin cream should be applied. After about a week, the traces of the procedure are barely visible.

Treatment with the fractional laser leads to an improvement in the striae. However, skin renewal takes time, so the final result can be seen after approx. 3 to 6 months.

FAQs

Stretch marks (striae) occur when connective tissue is overstretched due to rapid growth or weight fluctuations. Common causes include pregnancy, rapid weight gain or loss, growth spurts during puberty, or intense muscle building. Initially, the marks are reddish or purple, but later fade to light, scar-like lines.

Stretch marks usually cannot be completely removed, as they are scars in the connective tissue. However, modern medical procedures can significantly reduce their appearance, smooth them out, and even out their color so that they are less visible.

Depending on skin type and severity, JUVENIS uses the following methods:

  • Radiofrequency microneedling (e.g., POTENZA)

  • Fractional laser treatments

  • Microneedling with active ingredients or PRP

The method is chosen individually after medical assessment.

All procedures aim to stimulate collagen and elastin production. This improves the skin structure, thickens the tissue, and makes stretch marks appear finer and less noticeable.

The treatments are well tolerated. An anesthetic cream is usually applied to increase comfort. After the session, you may experience a slight feeling of warmth or tightness.

Visible improvements usually require 3–5 treatments at intervals of several weeks. The exact number depends on the depth, age, and severity of the stretch marks.

Initial improvements are often visible after just a few weeks. Since collagen regeneration takes time, the final result continues to develop over several months.

After treatment, slight redness, swelling, or temporary skin sensitivity may occur. These reactions usually subside within a few days.

Stretch marks can be treated in the following areas, among others:

  • Belly

  • Thigh

  • Hip

  • Buttocks

  • Chest

  • Upper arms

The costs depend on the size of the area and the method chosen:

  • Treat stretch marks with IPL from €200

  • Treat stretch marks with microneedling from €180

  • Treat stretch marks with fractional laser from €200


An individual treatment and cost plan will be drawn up during the consultation.
