Treating stretch marks in Vienna

Stretch marks, also called pregnancy stretch marks, arise, as the name suggests, from a strong stretching of the tissue. This can happen with rapid weight gain due to pregnancy or a growth spurt. The resulting tears in the subcutaneous tissue then appear as white streaks.

There are several options to make stretch marks fade. If they are still fresh and reddened, they can be treated with IPL. For older, white streaks, microneedling is a gentle method. The fractional laser works in a very similar way. All methods stimulate the skin's self-healing process, so that the skin structure can improve after multiple applications.

Treatments & Therapies

Treating stretch marks with IPL

Fresh, still-reddened stretch marks or pregnancy stretch marks can be treated with modern IPL technology. This is a gentle method to make unwanted streaks fade.

Treating stretch marks with a dermaroller / dermastamp

Microneedling is a simple and gentle method to treat the annoying streaks. Here we use a special microneedling device equipped with very fine needles. It is a stamp.

During the treatment, thousands of microscopic injuries are created that cause the body to activate the wound healing process. During healing the skin produces collagen and evens out the unsightly streaks; the skin structure is demonstrably improved.

Treating stretch marks with fractional laser

Older pregnancy stretch marks or stretch marks that have already turned white are treated with the modern fractional laser. This laser technology activates the skin's self-healing powers and makes the stretch marks fade.

The laser delivers impulses to the skin that treat only fractions of the skin. However, this stimulates the skin to renew collagen production.

Treatment procedure IPL

  • Thorough cleansing of the skin

  • Treatment of the stretch marks with IPL technology

After the treatment

After IPL treatment the skin is slightly reddened. This redness disappears after a short time, and the stretch marks fade.

Recommended treatment duration

Treatment procedure fractional laser

  • Thorough cleansing of the skin

  • Treatment of the stretch marks with the fractional laser

After the treatment

After treatment of the stretch marks with the fractional laser, the skin is slightly reddened and slightly swollen. This redness disappears after approx. 3 to 7 days; after 2 to 3 days the skin becomes dry and brittle, so a moisturizing cream should be applied. After about a week the traces of the procedure are hardly visible.

Treatment with the fractional laser leads to an improvement of the streaks. Skin renewal, however, takes time, so the final result can be seen after approx. 3 to 6 months.

Recommended treatment duration

For an effective treatment of stretch marks or pregnancy stretch marks we recommend 2 to 5 treatments at intervals of approx. 3 months.

FAQs

Stretch marks (striae) occur when the 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 intensive muscle building. Initially, the marks are reddish or purple, later they fade into 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, smooth, and color-match them, 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 choice of method is made individually after a medical assessment.

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

The treatments are well-tolerated. As a rule, a numbing cream is applied to increase comfort. After the session, a slight feeling of warmth or tightness may occur.

For visible improvements, usually 3–5 treatments are required 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 a few weeks. Since collagen regeneration takes time, the final result continues to develop continuously over several months.

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

Stretch marks can be treated in areas including:

  • Abdomen

  • Thighs

  • Hips

  • Buttocks

  • Breast

  • Upper arms

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

  • Treating stretch marks with IPL from € 200

  • Treating stretch marks with microneedling from € 180

  • Treating stretch marks with fractional laser from € 200


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