What are Stretch Marks?

Stretch marks are internal scar tissue usually caused by the skin being stretched beyond it’s capability to bounce back.  It is commonly seen on breasts, hips, stomach and thighs.  Pregnancy, adolescence and conditions that bring on excessive weight gain quickly are the cause for these unsightly imperfections.

Stomach, Inner Thigh or Hips.

Treat one area of stretch marks with Clinical Skin Needling also known as Collagen Induction Therapy.  A single use gamma sterilized dermal roller with 600 micro needles will cause micro punctures within the skin to the dermal layer.  Here collagen remodelling is activated as is dramatic natural resurfacing and cellular renewal.  Damaged skin is pushed to the surface for exfoliation and fresh skin cells and collagen replace them for a tighter, smoother, firmer toned skin.*

Stomach, Inner Thigh or Hips.

Treat one area of stretch marks with non invasive fractional laser.  Infrared micro columns of laser cause damage on pixelated patches of stretch marked skin.  The laser columns cause damage deep into the dermal layer activating cellular renewal functions.  In the dermal layer collagen & elastin are produced with the aid of infrared rejuvenation for dramatic natural resurfacing and repair.  Damaged skin is pushed to the surface for exfoliation and fresh skin cells, elastin & collagen replace them for a tighter, smoother & firmer skin.  Emerge fractional laser has a faster recovery time over clinical skin needling, better elastin activation and there is no risk of infection.*

Stretch Marks FAQs

Modern stretch mark removal treatments can reverse the damage of stretch marks.  The most common treatment for stretch marks are IPL & eLos skin rejuvenation, RF Skin Tightening, Collagen Induction Therapy or Clinical Skin Needling.  When used in conjunction with clinical scar treatment products these methods have good success rates.  You will need to be patient as the skin takes time to heal, so start your stretch mark treatment course straight after summer to be ready for the next.

The stretch mark removal treatment chosen will be the one that fits your skin type, extent of damage and the time frame you wish to see results in.  For example a darker skin tone will respond better to Collagen Induction Therapy than Laser Resurfacing as there is no heat involved in the treatment which removes the risk of hyper or hypo pigmentation.

The answer to this question really relies on the extent of the damage and the type of treatment performed.  Most need at least 6 treatments to reach an acceptable outcome with some minor adjustments.
