Treatment for Stretch Marks
More information
Stretch marks often appear after hormonal changes, pregnancy, weight fluctuations or rapid stretching of the skin. An appropriate treatment approach aims to improve their appearance by stimulating collagen and elastin production and helping the skin look smoother and more even.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are stretch marks?
Stretch marks are linear changes in the skin that appear when it stretches rapidly or is affected by hormonal changes.
Why are stretch marks initially pink or red?
In their early stages, stretch marks often have a pink or red colour because they are newer and there is still vascularity in the area.
How does treatment help stretch marks?
Treatment aims to stimulate the skin and collagen and elastin production, and to improve the texture and appearance of stretch marks.
Do stretch marks disappear completely?
The aim is to improve their appearance and smooth the skin. The final result depends on the stage, colour and depth of the stretch marks.
