Acne Scars & Stretch Marks
Stretch marks come from skin stretching quickly, acne scars from past breakouts. Each calls for its own plan.

The Treatments That Fit
For the scars
CO₂ Laser
Our Helix fractional CO₂ laser softens textural irregularities from acne or previous damage, and prompts collagen renewal.
- Downtime
- Varies with the treatment
- Results
- Visible once healed, refining for months
For both, on the face and the body
Radiofrequency Microneedling
Microneedles deliver radiofrequency energy below the surface, where collagen remodeling begins. On the face, abdomen, arms, thighs and other body areas.
- Downtime
- A day or two of redness
- Results
- Build gradually over weeks and months
Your consultation confirms which option, or combination, suits your marks and your skin.
How Many Sessions
Stretch marks
3 to 6 sessions
for most people, depending on depth, color and skin response
Acne scars
One, or a short series
often a single CO₂ session, or a short RF series spaced several weeks apart
Recent marks typically fade faster, so start at the first signs. The clinic’s usual timeline; yours may differ.

Questions
Something else on your mind? Call 514-983-3409, or ask at your complimentary consultation.
Does the same treatment work on the face and the body?
RF microneedling does: the same technology applies to the face and to body areas affected by laxity or scarring. Your provider tailors the plan to the areas you’d like to target.
Does it hurt?
CO₂ laser: numbing cream goes on first, and most people feel warmth and pressure.
RF microneedling: a topical numbing agent is applied; most people feel warmth or light pressure rather than pain.
Is it adapted to every skin tone?
CO₂ laser: our protocols are adapted to all Fitzpatrick skin types, including IV to VI, and settings are chosen for your skin.
RF microneedling: RF energy isn’t drawn to pigment the way some lasers are, so it’s generally considered appropriate across a range of skin tones.
When will I see results?
CO₂ laser: once you have healed, and your skin keeps refining for months.
RF microneedling: the changes build gradually over the following weeks and months.
