How Do Stretch Marks Form?

Chances are you will get some stretch marks at some point in your life – and this is perfectly normal! Stretch marks are in fact small tears in the dermal (deeper) layer of the skin which result in linear scars. The long scars are areas where the tissue has torn and separated become visible because the skin in that area is a different thickness. The most common areas stretch marks appear is on the stomach, thighs, buttocks, waist, and arms.

Most stretch mark removing treatments being advertised are creams and lotions which work on the surface of the skin and usually cannot penetrate into the dermal layer to have any significant effect.

Skin rollers and massagers can improve the look of stretch marks temporarily due to the swelling they cause but do not solve the problem.

If you have significant stretch marks in the abdominal area and loose skin, you may be a good candidate for a Tummy Tuck procedure - which is guaranteed to remove stretch marks .

Because the stretch marks are found in the deep layer of the skin, laser stretch mark treatment is recommended because it has the ability to penetrate the skin deep enough in order to be effective.

How Do Laser Stretch Marks Treatments Work?

Laser stretch mark removal is ideal for people seeking to minimize the appearance of stretch marks associated with pregnancy, hormonal changes, fluctuations in weight, or even certain medications that can make a person more susceptible to stretch marks. We use the ICON1540 fractional laser; it works by using fractional laser light to break down stretch marks and naturally trigger healthy, new tissue growth, collagen and elastin. This process helps improve the skin’s texture, resulting in healthier and smoother-looking skin. Laser stretch mark treatments are safe for all skin types* and have little to no downtime.

*Darker skin tones may require more laser stretch mark treatments due to being prone to hyperpigmentation.

An average stretch mark treatment session usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes depending on the area being treated. After your treatment, you may notice some redness or sensitivity similar to a sunburn, but you can plan on returning to your normal daily routine right away without any downtime.

Alternatively, we may recommend the Morpheus8 RF microneedling treatment for those who have skin laxity and stretch marks from prior pregnancies for example. The Morpheus8 has the added benefit of skin tightening.

Your laser stretch mark treatment will be customized to your individual condition. Our medical skin experts will provide a recommendation based on the size of the area or areas being treated, how pronounced your stretch marks are, your skin type, and other factors.

STRETCH MARKS FAQ

How does laser stretch marks treatment work?

We use a laser technology that invented and patented micro-fractional laser technology. Pulses of fractional laser light are used to break down stretch marks, triggering new tissue, collagen, and elastin production at the site and helping to improve the appearance of your stretch marks. The new collagen can leave the stretch mark smoother in texture and reduce the appearance of the stretch mark on the skin.

Is there anything I can do to prevent stretch marks?

Stretch marks can be caused by fluctuations in your weight, growth spurts, pregnancy, certain medications such as corticosteroids, long-term steroid use, or just bad luck. To prevent stretch marks you can try to control any rapid fluctuations in your weight, take collagen supplements or eat foods that promote collagen production and avoid certain medications that may help reduce your risk of getting stretch marks.
