Treatments >  Stretch Marks

Stretch marks are blemishes on the skin caused by a breakdown of collagen and elastin.

They occur when the dermis, the middle layer of your skin, is stretched to a point where elasticity begins to breakdown.

Stretch marks start as a reddish colour and then become a glossy stain that appears stretched in silver and white.

The main causes are due to pregnancy and weight loss.Intense Pulsed Light helps to improve stretch marks by diffusing redness and improving collagen structure. Even faded stretch marks are responsive to laser.
