What are Stretch Marks?
Striae, more commonly known as stretch marks, are irregular areas of skin that look like stripes, bands, or lines that appear from a rapid stretching of skin. These lines start off as thin glossy red-purple lines that over time can become white and scar-like in appearance. They may also be accompanied by a different texture than the surrounding skin.
Stretch marks are caused by:
- Pubertal growth spurts
- Gaining weight quickly
- Pregnancy
- Abnormal collagen formation
- Overuse of cortisone skin creams
- Some conditions or diseases such as Cushing syndrome or Ehlers-Danlos syndrome
Treatment Options
While there are some lotions and creams that can help slightly reduce the appearance of stretch marks, Morpheus8 micro-needling or Spectrum IPL are the two most effective options to renew your skin. We can discuss these options with you to determine the best route for you!
- Morpheus8 Microneedling & RF
Elevate your confidence and embrace skin rejuvenation with Morpheus8 microneedling, an innovative solution for stretch mark reduction. This cutting-edge technology combines microneedling with radio frequency (RF) energy to penetrate deep into the skin, triggering collagen synthesis and fostering a renewed, resilient texture. The RF energy helps tighten skin and further stimulates collagen production, enhancing the overall effectiveness of the treatment. The innovative Morpheus8 Body treatment works by precisely targeting the affected areas and promoting cell turnover to reduce the appearance of stretch marks.
Following a treatment schedule ensures a gradual and lasting improvement in the appearance of your stretch marks, allowing you to confidently unveil smoother, more vibrant skin. Our medical professionals recommend a tailored plan for optimal results, but usually 3 or more sessions spread into one-month intervals allow for the natural healing process to take effect, promoting collagen production and skin rejuvenation.
Downtime: Expect 2-3 days of mild redness and swelling.
Post-Treatment Care: Avoid sun exposure and apply a gentle moisturizer to the treatedareas.

- Spectrum IPL/Laser System
We are proud to present the state-of-the-art Spectrum IPL/Laser System at Vital Clinic & Spa. This system can be used for a myriad of treatments, including treating stretch marks. The IPL laser wavelengths break down stretch marks and increase collagen. IPL is a noninvasive treatment that is proven to improve skin texture, increase elasticity, and normalize pigmentation.
IPL stretch mark treatment is painless with little to no downtime and can restore your skin to a more natural, healthy state. While you may see results after one treatment, we recommend a series of treatments to allow your skin to heal between sessions and provide the maximum results.
Downtime: Minimal; slight redness may occur for a few hours.
Post-Treatment Care: Apply sunscreen and avoid direct sun exposure for a few days.

Testimonials & 5-star Client Reviews
Outstanding customer service is a rare commodity now and days. When it is encountered, it should be acknowledged. I would like to single out Meena at Vital Clinic and Spa as such an example. She proved on several occasions the level of dedication and integrity that we could only hope to be fortunate to encounter once in a while. I found that Vital fosters this level of dedication within their group. I am glad to be one of their patients.

I took my teen daughter to Vital Clinic and Spa to get a facial and Jennifer was amazing. My daughter really enjoyed the experience and immediately felt her face smoother right after. We were both very pleased with the results. Jennifer did a great job and went above and beyond by providing tips on how to properly clean and take care of your face. We look forward in visiting again. Thank you for the great service Jennifer!
