Frequently asked questions
Can old white stretch marks be treated?
They can sometimes improve in texture, but changes are usually more modest.
Can stretch marks be removed completely?
Stretch marks cannot usually be removed completely, but stretch mark treatment can make them softer, flatter and closer to your skin colour. Newer red or purple marks respond best. Microneedling and laser stimulate collagen in the mark, and improvement builds over three to six sessions and the following months.
Can I treat stretch marks after pregnancy?
Yes. Stretch mark treatment after pregnancy is common, but most in-clinic treatments are best started after you have finished breastfeeding. Until then, gentle moisturising is safe. Your practitioner reviews your medical history and timing at consultation before recommending microneedling or laser for pregnancy stretch marks.
How much does stretch mark treatment cost in Dubai?
At Luméra Clinic, stretch mark treatment starts from AED 900 per session, and most people need three to six sessions. The price depends on the size of the area and the method used. Your practitioner confirms the plan and full price in writing at consultation.
