WHAT ARE STRETCH MARKS?
Stretch marks are the irregular lines or streaks on the skin formed due to rapid stretching or distending of the dermis. The skin fades gets discolored, and the appearance of scars becomes evident.
CAUSES OF STRETCH MARKS
- Rapid and quick weight reduction
- Stretching of the skin during pregnancy
- Indulging in excessive exercise
- Intake of steroids
- Hormonal changes
- Puberty
Chemical Peels
A phenol-based chemical peel can penetrate the dermis, it cannot penetrate enough layers of your skin to burn away stretch mark scars. A chemical peel may provide minimal improvement in the appearance of your stretch marks, but it will not reduce their visibility enough for the scars to be unnoticeable.
Microneedling Therapy
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment. It uses tiny micro-needles to create small punctures on the top layer of the skin and penetrate the dermis. The wounds “traumatize” the skin and trigger the body’s natural response of creating more collagen and elastin to heal the wounds. Left behind is improved texture and firmness, and a reduction in stretch marks.
Fractional Co2 Laser
A non-invasive treatment, fractional laser treatment works at both the epidermal and dermal layers of the skin. This laser emits a non-ablative 1550-nm wavelength that has proven to reduce pigmentation with time. While the procedure is non-invasive and painless, you may see a bit of redness immediately after.
