Scratch marks removal arms in Mirdif, Dubai improves the texture and colour of stretch marks across the arm. These marks are scars in the dermis, so treatment targets the scar rather than the surface.
Treating the arms
In practice, the inner upper arm has thin skin with little underlying support. Consequently we reduce depth and treat more gently than on the trunk. Sun exposure is also higher on the arms, so aftercare protection matters.
What a stretch mark actually is
Typically, rapid stretching tears the collagen framework in your dermis. Generally, your body repairs that tear with disorganised fibres, which is why the mark looks and feels different from surrounding skin. Because the damage sits below the surface, creams applied on top rarely reach it.
Patients often call these scratch marks. If you mean genuine scratch scars from an injury instead, tell us, because those respond to a different approach.
How it works
Colour tells us the age of a mark. Red or purple striae are new and still inflamed, whereas white or silver ones are mature. In general, newer marks respond faster, so earlier treatment helps.
We needle through the scar at a depth matched to the region. Your skin then repairs with better-organised fibres. Since that depends on your own healing, improvement builds across months.
What it will not do
Treatment does not prevent new marks forming. If your weight is still changing quickly, we often suggest waiting.
Stretch marks never disappear completely. We make them flatter and far less obvious, so anyone promising clear skin is misleading you.
How the appointment runs
We numb the area for forty minutes, then treat the marks in overlapping passes. Dr Sarah adjusts depth as she moves across the region. Afterwards we apply a barrier cream and explain the aftercare.
Sessions sit four weeks apart. Most patients need four to six, although mature marks occasionally need more. We review at three months rather than judging early.
Who we cannot treat
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding
- Active infection or broken skin over the marks
- A history of keloid scarring
- Isotretinoin within the last six months
- Uncontrolled diabetes or any healing disorder
- Recent sunburn or a fresh tan
Recovery and aftercare
- Redness for two to three days, similar to mild sunburn
- Moisturise twice daily and keep the skin barrier intact
- Sunscreen on exposed treated areas for four weeks
- No pools, saunas or gym for seventy-two hours
- No retinoids or acids on the area for a week
Risks we discuss before you book
Redness and swelling settle within days. Temporary darkening is the main concern in deeper skin tones, so sun protection afterwards is not optional. Infection is uncommon, yet you should contact us about spreading redness or fever straight away.

Frequently asked questions
Is arm the same treatment under different names?
Patients search for this as arm and upper arm. All of those words describe the same area, so the treatment itself does not change with the wording.
How much does this cost in Mirdif, Dubai?
Treatment starts from AED 1,399. Because the area and the number of sessions vary between patients, Dr Sarah confirms your full plan in writing after assessing you.
When will I see results?
First changes appear around eight weeks, with continued improvement for six months. Collagen remodels slowly, so early assessment misleads.
How many sessions will I need?
Typically four to six, spaced four weeks apart. Mature marks and thicker skin usually need the upper end of that range.
Is it painful?
We apply topical anaesthetic for forty minutes beforehand. Most patients describe pressure and heat rather than sharp pain.
Who should not have this treatment?
We do not treat during pregnancy or breastfeeding, over active infection, or where a keloid history makes the area risky. Dr Sarah screens you fully at consultation.
Is it safe for darker skin tones?
Yes, provided we treat conservatively. Temporary darkening is the main risk, so sun protection afterwards matters a great deal.
Is there any downtime?
Very little. Expect tenderness for a few days and a short break from exercise and heat exposure.
