When it comes to stretch marks, different people have different opinions.

‘Pregnancy’ is the most common cause of stretch marks, usually on the belly and breasts. But did you know stretch marks are common and can happen to anyone, including children?

Today, we are going to talk all about stretch marks, how do you get them, and stretch mark removal treatment.

Let’s get started:

Stretch marks may occur when your skin either stretches or shrinks abruptly. The sudden changes cause the elastin and collagen, which supports your skin, to rupture. As the skin heals, you may see the appearance of stretch marks.

Although stretch marks are common, not everyone develops them. The fluctuating levels of hormones play a considerable role in the development of stretch marks. Plus, heredity may also play a role—if you have had any family member with stretch marks, you may also have a higher risk of having them.

Chances of developing stretch marks may increase when you are pregnant, have rapid weight loss or gain, puberty, or undergo weight training with rapid muscle growth.

Along with the things mentioned above, applying corticosteroids to your skin for extended periods may also cause the development of stretch mars.

Many women and men undergo stretch marks reduction as they can be a little itchy and slightly raised. Also, maybe because they are not confident about having them.

When stretch marks first appear, they might look purple, red, pink, dark, or reddish-brown, depending on your skin color.

With time, this color fades, and the stretch marks sink below your skin. Running your finger over mature stretch marks may often feel a slight depression.

Stretch Marks Removal Treatment

It is essential to understand that stretch marks are entirely normal, and anyone can have them. Even if you still want to get stretch marks reduction, know that it is not one-size-fits-all.

You will find plenty of stretch mark removal creams and lotions in the market. However, research has found that no product can always help, and some creams or lotions may not help. Although some products may help in the early stages, once the stretch marks get mature, they cannot be removed using creams.

Cosmetic Procedures for Stretch Marks Reduction

Skin experts use a variety of cosmetic procedures to reduce the appearance of stretch marks and make them less noticeable. Here are a few common treatments used by dermatologists for stretch marks reduction:

• Laser therapy
• Chemical peel
• Ultrasound
• Radiofrequency
• Microdermabrasion

Since side effects are always possible, it is best to use the hands of a skilled, board-certified skin specialist to avoid any significant risks. The skincare specialist may also use more than one procedure to give you the best results. However, the side effects are minor and temporary. You may experience slight swelling and redness following the procedure, which may disappear after a few hours or days. At Clinic Dermatech, we have a team of highly skilled and certified skin specialists who provide successful stretch marks removal treatment to the patients.
