Stretch marks are very common. They appear when the skin stretches faster than it can keep up, during pregnancy, puberty or a change in weight, and they tend to show on the stomach, thighs, hips, breasts and arms. If you live in Mumbles and yours bother you, fractional laser treatment can help to make them less noticeable.

Cowell St Skin & Hair Clinic is in the centre of Llanelli. We are a doctor-led clinic registered with Healthcare Inspectorate Wales, and we have been treating clients since 2016.

Every client starts with a free consultation. There’s no pressure and no sales pitch, just an honest view of what treatment can and can’t do for you.

What Are Stretch Marks?

When skin is stretched quickly, the supporting collagen and elastin in the deeper layer can tear, leaving the fine lines we know as stretch marks. For Mumbles clients, they’re often most noticeable in swimwear on the beach.

Most begin red or purple, then fade to a silvery, paler shade. They’re harmless, but they can affect how people feel about their skin.

Cowell St Skin & Hair Clinic is doctor-led and registered with Healthcare Inspectorate Wales; fractional laser stretch mark treatment starts from £60 a session.

How Fractional Laser Treatment Works

Illustration: stretch marks form where the deeper skin has torn, causing the surface to sink and look silvery. Microscopic columns of laser light treat the outer layer while a bulk of heat reaches deep into the dermis, triggering the skin's natural repair. Over a course of treatments new collagen and elastin fill the tears, and the stretch marks become shallower, narrower and closer to your natural skin tone. © Cowell St Skin & Hair Clinic.

We use the ResurFace, an erbium YAG fractional laser. It splits the laser into thousands of microscopic beams, each smaller than a hair follicle, and each beam creates a tiny column of controlled damage while the skin around it is untouched.

This triggers the body’s natural healing response, producing new collagen that helps fill in and smooth the marks, so they become less noticeable and the skin looks more even.

What Results to Expect

You can expect the marks to soften and become less noticeable, but complete removal is unlikely and results vary.

A course of three to six sessions is typical for a significant improvement, and we’ll be honest about your likely result.

What You Can Expect from Treatment

  • Around 30 minutes: for most treatments
  • Comfortable: a warm, prickly feeling for most
  • Typical course: three to six sessions
  • Smoother skin over time: as collagen rebuilds
  • Aftercare: written guidance and phone support
  • Clear advice: we’ll tell you if another option would suit you better

Your Free Consultation

We’ll talk through which areas bother you, check your skin type and review your medical history.

By the end, you’ll know what’s realistic, how many sessions are likely and what they’ll cost.

To secure your appointment we take a £30 deposit. It comes off the price of your treatment, or we refund it in full if you decide not to go ahead. Please read our cancellation policy before you book.

Before and After Your Treatment

Before you come in

  • Avoid sun, sunbeds and fake tan on the area for four weeks beforehand. Tanned skin cannot be treated.
  • Use a high-factor sunscreen on the area if it is exposed.
  • Tell us about any medication you are taking.

After each session

  • Avoid heat for 24 to 48 hours, including hot showers, baths, saunas, gyms and excessive exercise. This reduces the risk of blistering.
  • Apply aloe vera gel regularly to soothe the skin.
  • Use SPF 50 on the area if it is exposed to the sun for up to a month after treatment.
  • Do not pick or scratch the treated area.

You’ll be given aftercare advice to take home, and you can call us with any questions.

Serving Mumbles, West Cross and Gower

Mumbles clients often start treatment in autumn, so the area is out of the sun while it heals.

Our clinic is at 10 Cowell Street in the centre of Llanelli, about 15 miles north-west of Mumbles. Most Mumbles clients drive through Sketty or Killay to Gowerton and over the Loughor Bridge. There is parking in the town centre.

The clinic is also within reach of West Cross, Newton, Langland, Caswell and Bishopston. Appointments are short, so a visit is easy to combine with a trip into Llanelli.
