- Pigmented or textural skin irregularities
Treatment Options for Scarring and Stretch Marks
Our approach combines resurfacing technology with regenerative injectables to target multiple layers of the skin:
1. Subcision
A minor surgical technique used to release tethered scars from deeper tissues. Especially effective for rolling acne scars. Can be combined with filler or PRP.
2. Consultation for collage stimulating treatments
We offer personalised consultations for treatments designed to stimulate collagen production.
Full details about available treatment options are discussed during a private consultation with our qualified clinicians. In line with Australian TGA regulations, specific prescription-only products cannot be advertised publicly. Detailed treatment options and product information will be provided during your private consultation with our qualified clinicians.
3. CO2 Laser Resurfacing
Gold-standard for deep acne scars and stretch marks. Stimulates collagen, smooths texture, and improves skin tone. Best suited for lighter skin types or treated with caution in darker skin tones.
4. PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
A regenerative treatment using your own blood-derived growth factors. Enhances healing and collagen production when combined with microneedling, subcision, or laser.
5. Laser Genesis
A gentle, no-downtime laser that improves redness, surface texture, and early-stage stretch marks. Safe for all skin types.
6. RF Needling (Radiofrequency Microneedling)
Combines microneedling with heat to tighten and smooth scar tissue while stimulating new collagen production. Effective for both acne scars and stretch marks.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What treatment is best for acne scars?
It depends on the scar type. Rolling scars may respond best to subcision and fillers, while icepick and boxcar scars are better treated with CO2 laser or RF needling.
How many treatments will I need?
Most clients need 3–6 sessions spaced 4–8 weeks apart, depending on scar severity and treatment type.
Can stretch marks be fully removed?
While complete removal isn’t possible, we can significantly improve texture, colour, and depth with combined therapies like RF needling, PRP, and laser.
Is there downtime?
CO2 laser and subcision may involve a few days of redness or swelling. RF needling and PRP have mild downtime. Laser Genesis is virtually downtime-free.
Are these treatments safe for darker skin tones?
Yes—with the right approach. We avoid aggressive resurfacing on higher Fitzpatrick skin types and recommend treatments like PRP, RF needling, and Laser Genesis.
When will I see results?
Most treatments deliver progressive improvement over 6–12 weeks as new collagen develops. Results are long-lasting with proper maintenance and sun protection.
