Stretch marks, also known as striae, are a type of scar that can develop when the skin stretches or shrinks quickly. Rapid changes can disrupt collagen and elastin within the skin, causing visible lines or streaks to appear.
Newer stretch marks may appear red, pink, purple, reddish-brown, or dark brown, depending on skin tone. Over time, they often fade and become lighter, sometimes appearing white or silver and slightly indented.
Stretch marks commonly affect areas such as the abdomen, breasts, hips, buttocks, thighs, upper arms, legs, and back.
The treatment plan is selected according to the colour, age, depth, and location of the stretch marks, as well as your skin type and treatment goals.
1. Microneedling
Creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate collagen production and skin renewal. It may help improve the texture, depth, and overall appearance of stretch marks over a course of treatments.
2. Radiofrequency Microneedling
Combines microneedling with controlled radiofrequency energy to target deeper layers of the skin. It may be considered where improving both stretch-mark texture and skin firmness is desirable.
3. Fractional Laser Treatment
Selected fractional laser treatments can stimulate skin renewal and collagen remodelling, helping make stretch marks less noticeable. The laser system and settings must be selected according to the age of the stretch marks and the patient’s skin type.
4. Chemical Peels / Skin Resurfacing
Selected professional resurfacing treatments may help improve superficial texture and colour differences in some stretch marks. Suitability depends on the stretch marks, skin type and treatment area.
5. Combination Stretch Mark Treatment
For some patients, a combination approach may be recommended – for example, microneedling, radiofrequency and/or suitable laser treatment – depending on the type, age and severity of the stretch marks.
Treatment begins with a detailed consultation to assess the colour, age, depth, and location of the stretch marks, along with your skin type and treatment goals.
Your practitioner will then recommend the most appropriate treatment or combination of treatments. Stretch marks usually improve gradually rather than disappearing immediately, and a course of treatment may be needed.
