Safe & Effective Stretch Mark Removal Treatment

Stretch marks appear as red or purplish linear streaks in the skin that occur due to damaged collagen and elastin fibres in the deeper tissue because of excessive stretching of the skin. They may gradually fade and become thin silver or whitish lines. However, they do not disappear completely, even with time.

Stretch marks occur when the skin stretches quickly, like in the case of a pregnant woman, in areas around the abdomen, breasts and buttocks, but may also appear on the limbs during a pubertal growth spurt. They can also occur due to the use of steroids. Stretch marks are usually asymptomatic but may occasionally be itchy during the early stages.

Anyone can get stretch marks at any age. However, the following risk factors increase the likelihood:

• Pregnancy, especially in the last trimester
• Quick weight gain or fluctuation
• Growth spurt during adolescence
• Bodybuilding
• Women are more prone than men
• Personal or family history of stretch marks
• Use of systemic or topical steroid
• Genetic disorders like Marfan syndrome or endocrine disorders like Cushing syndrome

You cannot prevent stretch marks completely, but you can take some steps to minimise the risk of occurrence:

• Avoid Rapid Weight Fluctuations: Controlled weight gain or loss can minimise the risk of stretch marks.
• Increase Your Hydration: Drinking sufficient fluids prevents dehydration and stretch marks, as dry skin is prone to damage.
• Consume A Nutritious Diet: Intake of essential nutrients like Vitamins C, D, E, Zinc, and protein can help maintain healthy skin texture and quality and prevent early stretch marks. Your doctor is the best person to prescribe vital supplements to improve skin health if needed.
• Seek Early Medical Attention: If you cannot prevent stretch marks, seek early medical treatment to minimise them at the initial stage. Treating old stretch marks is more complex and challenging than reducing new ones.

Here are a few treatments available at Oliva for reducing stretch marks with varying degrees of efficacy. Your dermatologist may recommend them as solo or combo treatment based on the severity of the condition, cause, skin type and more:

• Topical Applications: Doctors at Oliva may prescribe topical retinoids, glycolic and hyaluronic acid for long-term application to reduce new stretch marks that are still developing. However, these topical applications may not effectively minimise old stretch marks as they have little or no tissue activity.
• Laser Therapy: Leading dermatologists at Oliva use the latest USFDA-approved Pixel Erbium YAG laser technology to reduce the appearance of stretch marks with precision over multiple sessions. The targeted laser therapy stimulates collagen production and results in a visible improvement in the skin texture. Watch this video to understand the procedure at Oliva:

• Micro-needling Radiofrequency: This advanced treatment uses microneedles to deliver radiofrequency energy. The minimally invasive treatment heats the deeper layers of skin and stimulates collagen and elastin formation. It effectively minimises both old and new stretch marks.
