Stretch Marks
Stretch marks are a common skin condition that occurs when the skin undergoes rapid stretching. The skin’s fibers, particularly collagen and elastin, can break when stretched too quickly, resulting in linear scars that first appear as red, purple, or dark marks. Over time, these streaks typically lighten and fade to a silvery-white hue.
What causes Stretch Marks
Stretch marks occur when the skin stretches or contracts rapidly, causing the collagen and elastin in the dermis to rupture.

Our Stretch Marks Solutions
After a consultation with our aesthetic doctor, these are various anti-Stretch Marks solutions that we offer
MICRONEEDLING WITH RADIOFREQUENCY TREATMENT
Microneedling with radiofrequency helps reduce the appearance of stretch marks by stimulating collagen production and improving skin texture. The fine needles create tiny channels in the skin, promoting healing, while the radiofrequency energy penetrates deeper layers to tighten and firm the skin. This treatment improves elasticity and smooths uneven skin, resulting in a more even-toned appearance. Over time, it helps reduce the visibility of stretch marks, leaving the skin looking firmer and rejuvenated.
Stretch Marks Myths

Although stretch marks are permanent, their appearance can be improved significantly with treatments that promote collagen production and skin regeneration.
