What Are Stretch Marks?
Stretch marks are pink, purple, or whitish stripes that can develop on the skin as a result of tension or stress rupturing the fibers underneath. While they're not a health risk, stretch marks can seriously affect your self-image. At Aesthetic Med Studio, we're excited to offer state-of-the-art stretch mark treatments designed to minimize the appearance of skin concerns so you can once again have a body you're excited to show off. Reach out to our aesthetic providers in Springfield, MO to learn more about the causes of stretch marks and how we can help you reclaim your confidence.
How Do You Treat Stretch Marks?
We perform several effective treatments for stretch marks at our Springfield, MO practice, including:
- INTRAcel™: INTRAcel treatments combine microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to supercharge your body's collagen production, resulting in improvements in your skin's tone and texture with minimal downtime.
- ProFractional™ Laser: The ProFractional laser from Sciton® "aerates" your skin tissues to stimulate natural collagen growth. One benefit of ProFractional is that the treatment can be adjusted according to your age and skin health.
- MicroLaserPeel®: This powerful treatment uses an erbium laser to resurface damaged skin, improving its texture and clarity.
During your consultation, we'll evaluate your skin's health and discuss which areas you'd like to focus on. From there, we'll work with you to create a personalized stretch mark treatment plan to give your skin a smoother, more even tone.

Had my first visit at Aesthetic and had the BEST experience. Raegan was SO sweet, knowledgeable and sent me home with some samples and lots of tips for my skin concerns. She tailored everything to my skin and no lie I got a compliment the first stop I made after the appointment! The barista asked where I got my facial and of course I plugged this med studio. Easy 5 stars ⭐️
