The Treatment
What Is iPixel Laser Stretch Mark Treatment?
Stretch marks are a form of dermal scarring caused by rapid stretching of the skin. They commonly occur during pregnancy, puberty, weight changes or muscle growth, and are often found on the stomach, thighs, hips, arms, breasts and buttocks.
While stretch marks are completely harmless, they can be difficult to improve with creams or topical products alone. At Serene Skin & Beauty in Manchester, we use the Harmony XL Pro™ iPixel laser to significantly reduce the appearance of stretch marks by stimulating collagen regeneration deep within the skin.
iPixel is a fractional ablative laser treatment designed to resurface damaged skin and trigger natural repair processes. Unlike surface-level treatments, iPixel works by creating thousands of microscopic treatment zones within the skin. These controlled micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing response, encouraging the production of new collagen and elastin. As the skin repairs itself, stretch marks gradually become smoother, tighter and less visible.
iPixel laser stretch mark removal is particularly effective for both newer red stretch marks and older white stretch marks — available at our clinic in Sale, South Manchester for clients across Manchester, Altrincham and Cheshire.
The Science
How Does iPixel Laser Work on Stretch Marks?
The iPixel handpiece delivers laser energy in a precise pixelated pattern, targeting scarred tissue while leaving surrounding skin intact. This allows faster healing compared to traditional ablative lasers.
The laser energy removes damaged skin cells and breaks down compacted scar tissue while simultaneously stimulating fresh collagen production. Over time, the treated skin is replaced with healthier, more even-textured skin.
Before treatment, the skin is cleansed and prepared. The iPixel laser is then passed over the treatment area, delivering controlled laser energy in a grid-like pattern. You may experience a warm or prickling sensation during the procedure — treatment discomfort is generally mild to moderate and well tolerated by most clients. Sessions typically last between 30 and 45 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
Stretch mark removal is a gradual process. Most clients require between 3 and 6 sessions, spaced approximately 3 to 4 weeks apart. Each session builds on the last, allowing collagen regeneration to continue over time. Multiple areas can be treated over a course of sessions, depending on size and severity.
Downtime & Results
Is There Any Downtime? When Will I See Results?
Downtime with iPixel laser is minimal compared to traditional resurfacing lasers. You may experience redness, mild swelling or a sunburn-like sensation for a short period after treatment. These effects usually subside within a few days. The skin may feel dry or rough as it heals, which is a normal part of the regeneration process.
Some improvement may be noticeable after the first treatment, but results develop gradually as collagen production increases. Skin texture continues to improve over several weeks following each session, with the most visible results appearing after completing a full course of treatments.
Response varies depending on skin type, age of the stretch marks and treatment area — this will be discussed fully during your consultation to ensure realistic expectations and a personalised plan.
Clients across Manchester, Sale, Altrincham and Cheshire choose iPixel laser stretch mark removal at Serene Skin & Beauty for the clinically proven approach and the visible, progressive improvement in skin texture that builds with each session.
