Why Choose Our Stretch Mark Removal

Fractional laser technology

We use the ResurFace, an erbium YAG fractional laser, which treats the skin in thousands of microscopic columns.

Works with your skin

The laser prompts your skin to make new collagen, which helps to smooth and soften the look of stretch marks.

Doctor-led care

Treatment follows doctors’ protocols, with your skin type and medical history checked before we start.

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. At our Llanelli clinic we use a fractional laser to make them less noticeable, from £60 a session.

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 fine lines in the skin caused by small tears in the collagen and elastin of the dermis, the layer beneath the surface. They form when the skin is stretched beyond what it can cope with.

They often start out red or purple and fade to a paler, silvery colour over time. They are harmless, but many people would like them to be less visible.

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 treat stretch marks with the ResurFace, an erbium YAG fractional laser. It splits the laser into thousands of microscopic beams, each smaller than a hair follicle.

Each beam creates a tiny column of controlled damage in the skin, leaving the skin around it untouched. This triggers the body’s natural healing response, and the skin produces new collagen as it repairs.

That new collagen helps to fill in and smooth the stretch marks, so they become less noticeable and the skin looks more even.

What Results to Expect

Laser treatment improves the appearance of stretch marks. It does not usually remove them completely, and results vary from person to person.

Most people need three to six sessions to see a significant improvement. We will give you an honest view of what to expect at your consultation, before you commit to anything.

Fractional laser treatment is suitable for skin types up to Fitzpatrick type 3. Tanned skin cannot be treated, and that includes fake tan.

Other Fractional Laser Treatments

The same laser is used for fractional laser resurfacing of the face and for acne scars. We will tell you at your consultation which treatment fits what you want to improve.

What You Can Expect from Treatment

  • Around 30 minutes: most sessions take about half an hour, depending on the size of the area
  • Mild discomfort: most people feel warmth or tingling, which is usually well tolerated and passes once treatment is finished
  • A course of sessions: most people need three to six sessions for a significant improvement
  • Gradual improvement: the skin smooths as new collagen forms over the weeks after each session
  • Aftercare support: written aftercare advice and a team you can call with questions
  • Honest advice: if laser is unlikely to help your stretch marks, we’ll tell you before you start

Your first visit is a proper assessment. We look at your stretch marks, check your skin type and ask about your medical history and any medication.

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.
