Stretch marks are well-recognized and the most common skin concern. They are formed in the dermis (middle skin layer) when the connective tissue of the skin is stretched beyond the limit of its elasticity due to rapid expansion and contraction of the skin and blood vessels, thereby rupturing the supportive collagen and elastin beneath. One can achieve a smoother skin with advanced stretch marks treatment offered at Skin Decor, by the Best Skin Doctor in Dwarka.

Stretch marks appear at the time of natural growth spurt (associated with hormonal changes) or rapid weight gain or loss (especially after childbirth). Other possible reasons that contribute to stretch marks formation are muscle build-up due to weightlifting, the effect of certain medications, and genetic conditions like Marfan’s syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and Cushing syndrome.

Depending on the person’s age, location, cause, type, and color of skin, the stretch mark appearance varies. Initially, they appear red or purple, raised, vein-like, linear lesions on the skin as the blood vessels beneath the skin become prominent. They may appear as long, thin, parallel, and bright or dark rippled streaks on the skin that may over time fade to a lighter shade (a white coloration) once the blood vessels have contracted. Mature stretch marks look sunken or flattened to the skin (as atrophic scars) and appear as white lines on the superficial skin.

Mostly, the areas where stretch marks develop are those that store fat. These include legs, upper arms, hips, torso, stomach, thighs, buttocks, breasts, back, and shoulder. Whilst stretch marks do not directly affect the health of the individual but it is a cosmetic concern that can be distress to people who have them.

Although stretch marks gradually diminish in their appearance, they cannot disappear completely over time. People can prevent stretch marks by maintaining healthy body weight, even at the time of pregnancy by having a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals.

Popular treatments for managing stretch marks offered at Skin Decor, best skin clinic in Dwarka:

MNRF (Micro-needling Radio Frequency)- Radiofrequency micro-needling is a well-known, new technology that can help remove stretch marks and provide an improved skin texture with greater effectiveness and efficiency as compared to the traditional micro-needling procedure. It is a minimally invasive, combination treatment to rejuvenate the skin. In this procedure, the insulated microneedles are inserted into the targeted skin to deliver radiofrequency energy deep into the skin dermis without causing extensive damage to the surrounding skin surface. The micro-needling technique facilitates natural healing of the site by growth factors and a high tension RF pulse helps degenerate the weakened collagen and elastin fibers and encourages the synthesis of new collagen and elastin by stimulation of fibroblasts. As a result, the skin becomes firm and smooth along with significant scar reduction and skin resurfacing.

Laser skin resurfacing – Several lasers are available in the market that enable a personalized skin resurfacing treatment. Laser therapy can be used to enhance skin color as well as contour. It is a non-surgical treatment that utilizes thermal energy produced by the laser light to repair and regenerate the skin cells. This treatment can kick start the body to produce more collagen which improves the quality of the dermis that lies beneath the stretch marks, thereby reducing the apparent scarring of stretch marks and creating a smoother texture.

Erbium fiber laser uses the “only one pass” formula. It is considered to be an effective and less time-consuming treatment for stretch marks. Fractional CO2 laser therapy is more effective than topical creams and may help smoothen mature stretch marks.

Dermaroller – Dermaroller is a tool made of tiny needles that are rolled over the treatment area to create micro-injuries. It is a cost-effective and simple treatment for stretch marks. This treatment drives the body to produce more collagen and elastin as the micro-wounds heals-leaving the skin plumper and tighter than it was beforehand. As a result, stretch marks also fade away.

Pixigenus laser– It is the latest laser in non-ablative type and fractional laser technology. It works to resurface the chosen skin area by creating selective small perforations (micro-injuries) in the skin with surrounding tissues remaining intact. This boosts collagen remodeling which tightens the skin and improves skin texture.
