What Is Stretch Mark and Scar Reduction?
Stretch marks and scars form when the skin is damaged below the surface, leaving behind discolored streaks or uneven texture. Stretch mark and scar reduction uses cutting-edge technology and regenerative medicine to stimulate new collagen production, smooth skin, and blend skin tone.
At Old Town Med Spa, your provider may recommend one or a combination of the following approaches:
-
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) with fractionated laser
-
PRP with microneedling
-
Targeted injection therapy
During your consultation, your provider will evaluate your skin and design a customized plan tailored to your goals.

Are You a Good Candidate?
Adults with stretch marks from pregnancy, weight changes, or growth spurts, as well as those with acne scars, surgical scars, or injury-related marks, often see excellent results. The best way to know if treatment is right for you is a personal consultation with the MD Brothers.
What to Expect During Treatment
Sessions typically begin with cleansing and a topical numbing cream for comfort. Your provider will then deliver the chosen therapy, whether laser energy, microneedling with PRP, or precise injections. Most appointments take under an hour.
Recovery and Results
Mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity may last one to three days. You will notice gradual improvements as new collagen builds, with results continuing to develop over several weeks. A series of sessions is often recommended for the best outcome.
