The stretch marks are linear red or white slots on the skin surface. It is a form of atrophic scars caused by the sharp and abrupt stretching of the skin.
What causes the stretch marks?
Stretch marks are caused:
• From a sudden increase or loss of weight.
• During pregnancy.
• During rapid development in adolescents.
• By taking certain medications e.g. cortisone.
• In various hormonal disorders e.g. Cushing Syndrome.
Depending on their colour, they can be distinguished into new (red stretch marks) and old (white stretch marks).
How can stretch marks be improved?
• With the use of special Nd-Yag and Fractional CO2 laser which deal with red and white stretch marks, improving their colour and texture .When applied , they cause an irritation that varies (depending on the type of laser) from a mild heat sensation, slight tingling to a more intense heat sensation.
• By combining the use of Dermapen and special substances (mesotherapy) or even autologous mesotherapy (ACR). These techniques stimulate the body to produce collagen. In order to perform these treatments we use anaesthetic cream.
We usually use a combination of different techniques for best results. The doctor will suggest the most appropriate treatment protocol for you.
How many sessions are needed?
The number of sessions required is customized according to the type and "age" of the stretch marks.
What is the expected result?
We expect an improvement in the texture and colour of the skin. The response to the treatment is personalized. In general, recent red stretch marks respond much better and faster to treatments.
