We support clients who want to reduce the appearance of stretch marks, which are a common cosmetic concern. Though harmless, stretch marks may affect self-confidence—especially after periods of rapid change in body size or shape.
What Are Stretch Marks?
Stretch marks (striae) are visible streaks or lines that form when the skin is stretched too quickly, causing the collagen and elastin fibers in the dermis to tear. They may appear as pink, red, purple, or silvery-white marks depending on skin tone and how long they’ve been present. Common areas include the abdomen, thighs, hips, breasts, and upper arms.
Common Causes
- Pregnancy – Rapid skin expansion during gestationÂ
- Puberty – Growth spurts can stretch the skin quicklyÂ
- Weight fluctuations – Sudden weight gain or lossÂ
- Hormonal changes – Such as during puberty or with corticosteroid useÂ
- Genetics – Family history can increase likelihoodÂ
Prevention Tips
- Keep skin well hydrated with moisturizersÂ
- Maintain a balanced diet rich in vitamins C, E, and zincÂ
- Avoid rapid weight gain or loss when possibleÂ
- Use topical treatments proactively during pregnancy or growth periodsÂ
How to Treat Stretch Marks
While stretch marks are permanent, their appearance can be improved with professional treatments that stimulate collagen and improve skin texture:
Combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to boost collagen, tighten skin, and improve the texture and colour of stretch marks.
Encourages collagen regeneration, improves tone and texture, and helps fade discoloration.
Enhances healing and long-term results when used alongside microneedling.
Delivers microbeams of laser energy into the skin to smooth and reduce the visibility of stretch marks while improving skin tone.
