Doctor-led stretch mark treatment in Bedford
Stretch marks cannot be erased, but selected treatments may improve their colour, depth and texture. We assess their age, location and your skin tone before discussing options such as radiofrequency microneedling or fractional laser, with measurable and realistic goals.
- Realistic improvement goals
- Skin-tone aware planning
- Laser and RF options

No treatment fully erases a stretch mark — it’s a dermal scar. But the right technology, matched to its phase, produces real improvement in texture, depth and colour.
Red vs white — and why the phase matters for treatment
Stretch marks (medically, striae distensae) form when skin is stretched beyond its elastic threshold and the collagen and elastin fibres in the dermis rupture. They progress through two phases, and the phase determines which treatment works best:
- Striae rubrae (red/pink/purple): early marks with active inflammation and visible vessels. More responsive, because the dermis is still actively remodelling — IPL, laser and RF microneedling all work well here.
- Striae albae (white/silver): mature marks where inflammation has resolved, leaving atrophic, hypopigmented bands. More challenging — but Morpheus 8 Burst™ and Cool Laser™ can still deliver significant textural improvement and some repigmentation.

Two technologies, one tailored programme
Rejuvena treats stretch marks with two clinically advanced platforms. Dr. Nick designs each programme individually — selecting the right technology for your stretch mark type, skin tone and treatment area.
Morpheus 8 Burst™
Burst mode delivers radiofrequency energy simultaneously at three dermal depths in a single pass — superficial, mid and deep — triggering fibroblast proliferation, new collagen and elastin remodelling. Because stretch marks involve damage at multiple depths, this multi-level approach is especially well suited.
- Best for All types; abdomen, thighs, hips
- Sessions 1–3, spaced 4–6 weeks
- Downtime 24–72 hours redness
- Maintenance 1–2 sessions per year
Dermablate Cool Laser™
A fractional Er:YAG beam creates precise micro-columns of ablation, leaving islands of untreated skin between zones for rapid healing while stimulating new tissue. Three resurfacing depths match the severity being treated, and integrated cooling cuts downtime — particularly effective for surface texture and white stretch marks.
- Best for Texture; white (mature) marks
- Sessions 2–4, spaced 4–6 weeks
- Depths Superficial, medium, deep
- Downtime 3–7 days redness/peeling
For established or extensive marks, Dr. Nick recommends an alternating combination protocol — RF microneedling to rebuild the deep dermis, fractional laser to refine the surface between sessions. This is the gold standard for stretch mark treatment at Rejuvena.
Your stretch mark programme — step by step
Consultation & assessment
Dr. Nick assesses your stretch mark type (red vs white), skin tone and treatment area, and designs an individual programme — single technology or combination.
Numbing
Numbing cream is applied 45–60 minutes before the session so treatment stays comfortable.
Treatment
Morpheus 8 Burst™ delivers RF at three depths, or the Cool Laser™ resurfaces fractionally — 30–90 minutes depending on technology and area. You feel pressure and warmth, not sharp pain.
Healing & collagen remodelling
Redness settles over 24 hours to 7 days. The deeper improvement develops as collagen matures over the following 4–12 weeks.
Review & maintenance
Progress is reviewed across the course, with 1–2 maintenance sessions per year to hold results.
We don’t promise to erase stretch marks — we match the technology to the mark and deliver real, measurable improvement.
Morpheus 8 Burst™ — small area (single session): from £250
Morpheus 8 Burst™ — large area (single session): from £400
Cool Laser™ fractional — single session: from £300
Course of 3 sessions (recommended): from £650
Combination course of 4–6 sessions: from £1,100

Love Dr. Nick & Lana, they’re such a wonderful team. I had Morpheus 8 & a gentle peel to help with my scars at the clinic and I’m really happy with the results !
Rejuvena repliedThank you very much for your kind words Guina. ☺️🙏
Read this review on Google (opens in a new tab)I went to see Rejuvena clinic few months ago after reading their reviews online. I was suffering with acne scars since many years and have tried few treatments from elsewhere. I had a consultation with Dr Nick who was very thorough during the consultation and he suggested me few different treatment options. At any time I never felt rushed or pushed to purchase treatments. 6 months fast forward I had laser skin resurfacing, injections and skin care and my skin has never been better. I am very thankful to the Rejuvena clinic to sort out my skin issue once and for all. Thank you very much
