Dermatology ClinicStretch Mark Treatment in Busan, Korea Softer color and smoother texture for stretch marks on the stomach, hips, thighs and breasts
Stretch marks can be improved, but not erased. At JRYN Seomyeon your doctor matches the treatment to the color and age of your marks , then confirms the plan and price before you start.
Can stretch marks be treated?
Yes, stretch marks can be made less visible, although no treatment removes them completely. Newer red or purple marks usually respond better: a vascular laser can fade the color. Older white or silvery marks are mainly a texture problem, so fractional laser or RF microneedling is used to remodel collagen and smooth the surface. Most people need a course of sessions.
At JRYN Seomyeon, Dr. Kim Ji-young examines the marks and the area size before recommending a device. Stretch mark treatment has no fixed menu price, because it depends on the device, the area and the number of sessions. Your doctor confirms the total first.

Stretch Marks FAQ
Still have questions? Message us on WhatsApp and we will answer in English.
Can stretch marks be removed completely?
No treatment removes stretch marks completely, but they can be made much less noticeable. Laser and RF microneedling soften the color and smooth the texture over a course of sessions.
How are red stretch marks treated?
New red or purple marks usually respond well to a vascular laser, such as Excel V or Vbeam, which targets the color. Treating marks while they are still red tends to give better results.
How are white stretch marks treated?
White marks are older and mainly a texture issue, so fractional laser or RF microneedling is used to remodel collagen and smooth the surface. Improvement is gradual and usually needs several sessions.
How much does stretch mark treatment cost at JRYN?
There is no fixed menu price, because it depends on the device, the size of the area and the number of sessions. Your doctor confirms the total before your first session.
How many sessions will I need?
Most people need a course of sessions spaced several weeks apart. Your doctor gives you an estimate after seeing your marks, and can plan around your travel dates.
Can I treat stretch marks during pregnancy?
Most laser and microneedling treatments wait until after pregnancy and breastfeeding. Gentle skincare is fine in the meantime, and your doctor can plan treatment for later.
Is there downtime after stretch mark treatment?
It depends on the device. Vascular laser usually causes redness for a few hours, while fractional laser and RF microneedling can leave redness or pinpoint marks for several days. Covered areas such as the stomach and thighs are easy to hide.
