Stretch Marks After Pregnancy: How to Regain Confidence in Your Skin

Pregnancy brings profound joy, but it can also leave lasting marks on the body, with stretch marks being a frequent concern for new mothers. Whether they appear on your stomach, thighs, hips, or breasts, pregnancy stretch marks are a natural result of rapid skin stretching and hormonal changes. Still, it’s completely valid to want to address them, especially if they affect your confidence or how you feel in your skin.

At Evara Aesthetics, we specialize in non-surgical stretch marks treatments in Idaho Falls, ID that help restore smoother, firmer skin. With advanced technologies like Scarlet SRF and CosmoPen microneedling, our team helps clients feel more confident in their post-pregnancy skin—without lengthy downtime or invasive procedures.

What Are Stretch Marks?

Stretch marks, medically known as striae, are a form of scarring that develops when skin is stretched rapidly. During pregnancy, the skin’s middle layer (the dermis) can tear due to the rapid growth of the abdomen and breasts. This tearing causes streaks or lines that often start out red or purple and fade to white or silver over time.

While stretch marks are common and harmless, they can make some individuals feel self-conscious—especially when wearing swimsuits or fitted clothing. They may also be itchy or cause a change in skin texture. For those wanting to reduce their appearance, today’s stretch mark removal options are more effective, comfortable, and accessible than ever.

Benefits of Stretch Marks Treatments

Stretch marks treatments do more than reduce the appearance of scars—they actively improve your skin’s structure and health. Here are the key stretch mark treatment benefits:

• Improves Skin Texture: Stretch marks treatments help smooth rough or uneven skin, making it feel softer and more refined.
• Reduces Stretch Mark Visibility: They minimize the appearance of red, purple, or white stretch marks by encouraging healthy skin regeneration.
• Boosts Collagen and Elastin: Advanced treatments stimulate collagen and elastin production, strengthening skin and improving elasticity.
• Non-Surgical and Minimal Downtime: Most options are non-invasive, with little to no downtime, allowing you to return to daily activities quickly.
• Safe for All Skin Types: Modern technologies like Scarlet SRF and CosmoPen are effective across a wide range of skin tones and textures.
• Enhances Skin Firmness: Treatments tighten the skin, making areas affected by stretch marks appear firmer and more toned.
• Supports Overall Skin Health: Microneedling treatments improve circulation and nutrient delivery to the skin, boosting its long-term health.
• Restores Confidence: By visibly improving the skin’s appearance, these treatments help many clients feel more comfortable and confident in their skin.

Our Scarlet SRF and CosmoPen microneedling treatments offer unique benefits for postpartum clients by addressing stretch mark scars holistically and safely.

What to Expect (Process, Timeline, Results)

Pre-Treatment Prep

Prior to your scheduled visit, refrain from sun exposure and temporarily cease applying aggressive exfoliating products or vitamin A derivatives to the targeted regions. Your clinician may advise a preliminary consultation to explore desired outcomes, review your health background, and create an individualized treatment plan.

Treatment Day

We offer two leading technologies:

• Scarlet SRF uses microneedling combined with radiofrequency (RF) energy to stimulate deep skin remodeling. The treatment is gentle with minimal discomfort, thanks to short-pulse RF delivery.
• CosmoPen is a next-generation microneedling system that triggers the body’s natural collagen and elastin production. It’s effective for improving both skin thickness and tone.

The procedure duration typically ranges from 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Both approaches have been carefully crafted to ensure the patient’s comfort while maximizing procedural efficiency.

Downtime and Recovery

There’s little to no downtime. Following your procedure, you might experience slight reddening or heightened sensitivity comparable to minor sunburn effects, generally subsiding within 24-48 hours. Clients are advised to moisturize regularly and apply sunscreen to protect the treated area.

Results Timeline

Results build gradually over a series of treatments. Most clients begin to see improvement in skin texture and tone after 2–3 sessions. To achieve the most impressive transformation, we generally advise completing a comprehensive series of 3-6 interventions, each separated by several weeks to allow optimal tissue response.

Skin continues to improve over the following months as collagen production increases—delivering smoother, more supple skin and visibly reduced stretch mark scars.

FAQs

How does Scarlet SRF reduce stretch marks?

Scarlet SRF uses microneedling with short-pulse radiofrequency to stimulate collagen and elastin deep within the skin. This rebuilds the skin’s support structure, tightening and smoothing the appearance of stretch marks.

What is the Na Effect?

Scarlet’s patented “Na Effect” focuses RF energy around each microneedle for more controlled, targeted treatment. This minimizes damage to surrounding tissue while maximizing collagen remodeling.

How does CosmoPen help with stretch marks?

CosmoPen microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface, prompting your body to produce new collagen and elastin. This thickens the skin and reduces the visibility of stretch marks naturally.

Are the treatments painful?

Most clients find both treatments very tolerable, with only mild discomfort. Numbing cream can be applied before the session if needed.

How long do the results last?

With a proper skincare routine and maintenance, results can last several months to a year or more. Annual touch-up treatments may prolong your results.
