You’ve tried every stretch mark cream and oil on the market with little success. Is there anything that actually works?
ICON® 1540 fractional resurfacing could be the answer to those irritating red and white lines. It is a non-invasive laser therapy that can visibly minimize the appearance of stretch marks by promoting your skin’s innate healing processes.
At Skin Deep Laser MD in Fort Worth, Dr. Laura S. Riehm brings a rare blend of medical training and personal experience to aesthetic care, including ICON 1540 treatments. Her practice was founded on the principle that effective results stem from safe, physician-led solutions.
How ICON 1540 Improves Stretch Marks
ICON 1540 uses fractional, non-ablative laser energy to target the underlying layers of skin where stretch marks form. Unlike ablative lasers, it treats the skin in micro-columns for faster healing and greater safety.
This treatment doesn’t break the skin’s surface. Instead, it heats deep tissue to stimulate the production of the proteins collagen (which provides structural support and firmness) and elastin (which helps the skin stretch and bounce back). Increased collagen and elastin generation improve skin tone and texture over time.
Key benefits include:
- It reduces the visibility of red and white stretch marks.
- It comes with minimal downtime.
- It’s suitable for various skin types.
- It offers gradual, natural-looking outcomes.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
Each ICON 1540 session lasts about 30 minutes, depending on the area being treated. Most patients explain the sensation as a mild snap or warmth on the skin. Redness and slight swelling might be present for a day or two, but there’s no significant recovery period.
You may need 3–5 appointments, spaced a few weeks apart, for optimal results. You’ll see changes gradually as your skin continues to remodel.
Start Your Journey Toward Smoother, More Even Skin
