Every treatment starts with a check of your skin type and medical history, under doctors’ protocols.

How it works

  1. Free consultation and skin assessment
  2. A personalised plan and a clear price
  3. A course of three to six sessions for most people

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 St Clears 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?

Stretch marks are narrow lines that appear when the dermis, the skin’s supportive layer, is overstretched and its collagen and elastin fibres tear. Clients from St Clears often ask about them after pregnancy or weight loss.

They’re often reddish or purple at first and fade to silvery white with time. They pose no health risk, though many people want them softened.

We’re a doctor-led clinic in Llanelli, registered with Healthcare Inspectorate Wales, and stretch mark treatment with fractional laser 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.

Our ResurFace laser is a fractional erbium YAG laser. Its beam is split into thousands of tiny columns, each smaller than a hair follicle, which treat the skin in a fine grid pattern.

The skin repairs each column and produces new collagen in the process, which gradually smooths the stretch marks and makes them less visible.

What Results to Expect

Stretch marks usually become smoother and less obvious, but they don’t normally disappear completely.

Most clients need three to six sessions. At your consultation, we’ll give you a realistic idea of the improvement you can expect.

What You Can Expect from Treatment

  • About 30 minutes: per session, depending on the area
  • Mild sensation: warmth or tingling that passes when treatment ends
  • A course: three to six sessions for a significant improvement
  • Gradual improvement: the skin smooths as new collagen forms
  • Aftercare support: written advice and a team you can call
  • Honest advice: if laser is unlikely to help your stretch marks, we’ll say so

Your Free Consultation

At your consultation, we assess the marks and your skin type and discuss your medical history.

You’ll know whether laser is right for you, how many sessions to expect and the price before you decide.

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.
