Stretch Marks

About

Stretch marks can affect your confidence

Stretch marks are caused when the skin rapidly stretches as a result of sudden growth at puberty, weight gain or pregnancy. The stretching causes the body’s middle layer of skin to tear, allowing the deeper skin layers to show through. The location of stretch marks varies depending on a person’s body type but typically occurs on the tummy, breasts, upper arms, bottom, thighs and shoulders. Having stretch marks can cause insecurity but we are here to help you find the perfect treatment to reduce the appearance of them.

Reduce the appearance

Treatments are available to help reduce the appearance of stretch marks. Laser therapy can target the pigment and stimulate collagen production in the affected areas, leading to smoother and more even-toned skin. Microneedling can also help improve the texture and appearance of stretch marks by promoting skin renewal and collagen remodelling.

A combination of treatments and clinic grade skincare products will give the best results. Starting treatments as soon as possible after the stretch marks have appeared will give the best results.

Treatment

Top treatments for stretch marks

Polynucleotides

The new ‘fish on the block’ in aesthetics is Plenhyage XL. Derived from Salmon sperm extract, the treatment came from stem cell regenerative medicine where it has been found to have high levels of DNA extract closely aligned to human DNA. This treatment can address concerns in different parts of the face and body that normally would have required a cocktail of treatments and products.

Microneedling

The Micro-needling device uses ‘encapsulated’ active ingredients, such as Retinol, to penetrate deeper into the skin. The treatment is the equivalent of using ten times the strength of the active ingredient working where it is most needed beneath the skin, yet without the aggressive side effects on the skin surface.

HALO

The Sciton HALO treatment is a revolutionary hybrid fractional laser procedure designed to rejuvenate the skin and address a variety of concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, uneven tone, and texture irregularities. The Halo laser delivers precise energy to the deeper layers of the skin while minimising damage to the surface, resulting in significant improvements with minimal downtime.
