Treatment Overview
Stretch Mark Remover Injections are minimally invasive treatments that use skin-regenerating injectables such as polynucleotides (PN/PRN, e.g., Rejuran), collagen stimulators (PLLA, CaHA, PCL), or customized mesotherapy ampoules to repair dermal damage caused by stretch marks. Unlike fillers that only add volume, these injections stimulate fibroblasts, boost collagen and elastin, and promote tissue regeneration to improve both the appearance and elasticity of stretch-marked skin.
In Korean dermatology clinics, these injections are widely performed on the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, breasts, arms, and hips, where stretch marks and skin laxity are most common. They are often combined with microneedling RF, lasers (CO₂, Fraxel), or PRP therapy for stronger results.
