The Approach
Scar and stretch mark treatment at Rêve
Scars and stretch marks form when the skin heals from a wound, surgery, or rapid stretching, and the repair tissue is different from the original skin. The collagen is disorganized, the texture is uneven, the color is often off, and the result is visible long after the original event. Modern treatment doesn't fully erase these marks, but it can dramatically improve their appearance, sometimes to the point where they're nearly imperceptible.
At Rêve, we combine several proven technologies. Microneedling and RF microneedling break up disorganized scar tissue and trigger new, organized collagen formation. FRAX laser resurfaces the affected area at a deeper level. Topical protocols (silicone gel, prescription retinoids, growth factors) support the healing between sessions. The right combination depends on the type and age of the scar, the affected area, and your skin type.
We're honest about expectations. Newer, less mature scars respond faster than older silvery ones. Some scar types (hypertrophic, keloid) need specialized protocols. We tell you at consultation what we realistically expect.
That's the practical case for starting sooner. Scar tissue keeps reorganizing for roughly a year after it forms, so treatment inside that window works with a process already underway instead of against a finished one. After it matures, the same result takes more sessions and rarely goes as far. A stretch mark that's still red or purple is in the active phase. One that has turned silver has finished it. Guests bring us both from Troy, Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, Rochester Hills and across Metro Detroit.

What We Treat
Conditions we address
Surgical Scars
Breast augmentation, tummy tuck, lipo, joint surgeries. Best results when treatment begins 6-12 weeks post-op (with surgeon clearance).
Acne Scars (Body)
Back, chest, and shoulders. Often more stubborn than facial acne scars but responds well to RF microneedling.
Stretch Marks (New (Red/Pink)
Striae rubrae) newer stretch marks still in active form. These respond best to treatment; the earlier we start, the better.
Stretch Marks (Old (Silver/White)
Striae albae) older, matured stretch marks. These respond more slowly but improvement is still real. Plan for 4-6 sessions.
Trauma & Injury Scars
From accidents, burns, or significant injuries. Often more complex, we coordinate with your physician if needed.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Removed completely, usually not. Significantly improved, often to the point of being barely visible, yes. We're honest about this distinction at consultation.
New stretch marks (red/pink): 3-4 sessions. Older stretch marks (silver/white): 5-6 sessions. Sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
With your surgeon's clearance, typically 6-12 weeks post-op once the incision has fully closed. Earlier treatment generally produces better results.
With topical numbing, sensation is manageable for all our protocols. Stretch mark areas with thinner skin may feel more intense.
Keloids require specialized treatment, often including steroid injections, we coordinate with a dermatologist for these cases. Don't use standard microneedling on active keloids.
Yes, microneedling is one of the safest scar/stretch mark treatments for Fitzpatrick IV-VI. We adjust laser protocols accordingly.
Initial improvement after 2 sessions. Significant change at 4 sessions. Final assessment 12 weeks after the last session.
