Stretch Marks

Strech Marks Removal

Stretch marks are not caused due to any disease but it can be because of pregnancy, sudden weight gain in obesity, growth spurts in teenagers, medication side effects, the rapid increase in muscle size, or heavy weightlifting. So basically, your skin develops a scar when your skin stretches or shrinks quickly. This change causes collagen and elastin that helps skin to rupture and when the skin heals your stretch marks are seen more clearly.

Our Procedures

Peels

Chemical peeling for stretch marks is an application of one or more chemical agents to the skin resulting in dry desquamation or moist maceration followed by its exfoliation and subsequent resurfacing of the epidermis along with the remodelling of collagen and elastic fibres and the deposition of glycosaminoglycans during the repair process in the dermis.
The idea behind the best chemical peel for stretch marks is to wound the skin to bring it to a desired level, which is deep enough to cause exfoliation of the layers, while being superficial enough to allow regeneration from the appendageal structures and deeper dermis through wound healing, and reduce stretch marks.

Laser Resurfacing

Laser therapy is one of the most effective treatments for reducing the appearance of stretch marks. As with other types of laser scar removal, this skin treatment for stretch marks works by removing the outer layer of the skin. This removal causes the skin to regenerate and the stretch marks to fade.

Most people will require multiple sessions to see a noticeable improvement in their skin. However, this depends on the severity of the marks. The treatment is generally more effective on newer stretch marks, and treatment for severe stretch marks will require more sessions.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion works by buffing the epidermis, the top layer of the skin. During treatment, a handheld device is used to spray a stream of exfoliating micro crystals over the skin, which sands away dead skin cells. This exfoliation stimulates the growth of new, healthy cells.

You shouldn’t feel any pain or discomfort while the treatment is being performed. It is a relatively quick procedure, with each treatment taking an average of 30 minutes to complete. 

Microdermabrasion is most effective for those with mild-to-moderate stretch marks. Those with more severe, deeper marks would benefit from a combination of treatments, such as a chemical peel and a retinoid cream, to achieve comparable results.
