LineLase™ – Laser Stretch Marks Treatment
What Is Scar Revision Laser Treatment?
LineLase™ is a minimally invasive laser treatment designed to improve skin affected by stretch marks (striae) and mild superficial scarring. It uses a two-step process: first, the Fotona SMOOTH® non-ablative Er:YAG mode gently heats the skin to boost collagen production and improve elasticity. Then, a fractional or ablative Er:YAG resurfacing step refines the skin surface, softening and flattening stretch marks, improving texture, and enhancing skin appearance—all with care, precision, and relatively gentle treatment. LineLase is considered safe for all skin types, including darker skin tones, and is focused more on improvement than aggressive resurfacing
BENEFITS
- Smoother texture & reduced appearance of stretch marks – Stretch marks become less noticeable, flatter, and more blended with surrounding skin.
- Improved skin tightness & elasticity – The non-ablative phase tightens and firms the skin beneath, while resurfacing adds smoothness.
- Works early or later – While results tend to be stronger when stretch marks are newer (rubra/red stage), there are improvements even for older (white/silver) lines.
- Minimal downtime & discomfort – Because it’s gentler than full ablative lasers, many people experience only mild warmth, light redness, or minimal peeling, allowing them to resume normal life fairly quickly.
Are You a Candidate for This Treatment?
LineLase™ is ideal if you have stretch marks from pregnancy, growth spurts, weight changes, or genetics, and you wish to improve their appearance without surgery. If your skin is relatively healthy, you don’t have active infections, and you’re not on medications that impair healing, you’re likely a good candidate. Also, people with darker skin tones can safely be treated, though the settings may be adjusted to reduce the risk of pigmentation issues. For best results, earlier stretch marks respond more quickly, but even longstanding ones benefit. A consultation will help verify your skin condition, stage of stretch marks, overall health, and expectations
RECOVERY
The recovery from LineLase™ is comfortable and manageable. After treatment you may feel slight warmth, mild redness or tingling in the area, similar to a sunburn. Some patients might notice light peeling or dryness over the next 1-2 days. Immediate return to routine activities is often possible, although we’ll recommend avoiding heavy sweating, sun exposure, or irritating skincare ingredients for a short period. As healing proceeds, texture and tone continue to improve over several weeks as new collagen forms. Multi-session plans (often 3-6 treatments spaced a few weeks apart) provide deeper improvement, especially for more pronounced stretch marks
