Stretch marks, known medically as striae, are a common skin condition that appears as streaky lines on the skin. They often emerge during rapid growth periods such as puberty, pregnancy, or significant weight changes. These marks result from the skin’s inability to stretch quickly enough, causing the underlying tissue to tear and form scar-like lines.
Causes of Stretch Marks
Several factors contribute to the development of stretch marks:
- Genetics: Family history can play a significant role.
- Hormonal Changes: Fluctuations in hormones, especially during puberty and pregnancy, can make skin more susceptible.
- Rapid Growth: Quick changes in body size, whether from muscle growth, weight gain, or pregnancy, can cause stretch marks.
- Medications: Long-term use of corticosteroids can decrease skin elasticity, leading to stretch marks.
Stretch Mark Treatments at Kerin Medspa & Laser Center
Kerin Medspa & Laser Center offers several treatments to reduce and remove stretch marks, helping you regain smoother, more even-toned skin. Our patient-centered approach includes the following treatments:
Morpheus8
Morpheus8 is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation procedure that combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy. This treatment targets the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production and remodel tissue. The device uses microneedles to deliver RF energy into the skin, creating micro-injuries that trigger the body’s natural healing response.
Patients typically see an improvement in skin texture and elasticity, with a noticeable reduction in the appearance of stretch marks after a series of treatments.
PicoSure®
PicoSure® is an advanced laser treatment that uses picosecond technology to treat various skin conditions, including stretch marks. PicoSure® delivers ultra-short pulses of laser energy to target and disrupt the skin’s pigment and stimulate collagen production without damaging the surrounding tissue.
After a few treatments, patients often experience smoother skin with a significant reduction in stretch mark visibility.
PicoFacial
PicoFacial is a laser treatment designed to target pigment and texture issues, effectively treating stretch marks. This treatment uses picosecond laser technology to deliver short bursts of energy to the skin, breaking down pigment and stimulating collagen production.
Additionally, PicoFacial is known for its precision and minimal downtime, offering visible improvements in the appearance of stretch marks after multiple sessions.
Microneedling
Microneedling, or collagen induction therapy, involves using fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production. A specialized device with tiny needles is rolled over the skin, creating controlled injuries that promote healing and collagen formation.
This treatment can improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of stretch marks. For optimal results, it typically requires multiple sessions.
