Stretch Mark Reduction in Calgary
Stretch marks met their match.
The most common areas for stretch marks to appear are on the breasts, abdomen, hips, buttocks, or thighs. Laser therapy has the power to reduce the appearance of your stretch marks without incisions or lengthy downtime. The procedure can help smooth out the skin, improving the texture and appearance of stretch marks.
Our Stretch Mark Reduction treatment uses the ResurFX laser, which provides a non-ablative treatment for scar tissue. By using heat and controlled depths of energy, we stimulate the tissue’s healing response to produce new collagen in the area, resulting in the improved texture of the skin. Depending on the colour of the tears in the skin, IPL may also be used to target the red and purple tones in the stretch mark. Before pursuing treatment, understand there’s a possibility your stretch marks may not disappear completely but the overall feel and appearance can be greatly improved.

I’ve had the best experiences at SKIN, no complaints whatsoever. The team truly listens to every question I’ve had and always responds with confident, reassuring advice.
What a great overall experience!! The clinic itself is ultra modern & professional while being very warm and inviting! The facial was AMAZING 🩷! An indulgence that left my skin soft, supple and touchable. They offered excellent options for ongoing skin care, tailored to my specific skin type. So pleasant & lovely! Highly recommend this clinic, and I definitely will be following through with further treatments!
I had a great experience at Skin Clinics Calgary from start to finish. The initial consultation was incredibly thorough — the team took the time to really understand my needs and answer all of my questions, which made me feel completely at ease. Everyone was so warm and welcoming, from the moment I walked in to when I left. You can tell they truly care about their clients. Also, the clinic itself is absolutely beautiful — clean, modern, and thoughtfully designed. I’m really happy with the level of care I received and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Skin Clinics to others!
