Stretch Mark Treatment

The dermis is 95% of the total skin volume and when the dermis is constantly overstretched it can break down and leave stretch marks behind. Stretch marks occur when skin doesn't bounce back after it's been stretched due to pregnancy, rapid weight gain, extreme weight loss, or use of toning and bleaching products. Hence, stretch marks seem to be caused, literally, by a stretching of the skin.

Focus of stretch mark treatment will be to restore the structural integrity of the skin by increasing the thickness of the skin and stimulating collagen formation. This could be achieved by doing the following as a single procedure or as multiple procedures however, multiple procedures are advised.

MICRONEEDLING – This cause micro-injury to the dermis with resultant production of collagen. It could be in the form of Professional (Medical) microneedle when the needle is longer and home use when the needle is shorter. Professional microneedles should only be used by a trained physician or medical health professional. The length of the needles on the microneedles determines the category. 

DERMABRASION – This is a mechanical controlled surface layer damage to stimulate new cell formation which result in more layer and new skin layer production.

CHEMICAL PEELING – This is also a chemical controlled skin cell destruction to stimulate new and thicker skin layer.

LASER THERAPY – This can be used to produce fibroblasts which are cells responsible for collagen formation. It could also be used to cause micro-injury in the dermis with resultant more collagen formation.

PRODUTS – Specific products like copper serum, derma stretch, intensive scar repair, SND with Microneedle and Ultra XFoliant can give good results even without a physician visit.
