Stretch Mark Reduction
Stretch marks are linear atrophic changes in the skin that occur due to rapid alterations in skin structure and elasticity.
These changes typically arise when the skin stretches or grows rapidly, causing ruptures in the collagen and elastin fibers within the dermis.
Common causes include pregnancy, puberty, rapid weight gain or loss, and prolonged use of corticosteroids.
Clinically, stretch marks appear as linear red, purple, or pink streaks that gradually fade into white, scar-like lines. While stretch marks are not a health concern, they are considered an aesthetic issue.
Stretch Mark Treatments in Our Clinic
Pixel RF
Pixel RF, part of the Alma Accent platform, is an advanced technology that combines radiofrequency (RF) and microneedling
to improve skin quality and treat various aesthetic concerns.
Using micro-needles, the device creates controlled micro-channels in the skin through which RF energy is delivered,
stimulating collagen and elastin production in the dermis.
Pixel RF is effective in treating:
Fine lines
Acne scars
Skin irregularities
Stretch marks
The depth of the microneedles and the RF intensity are adjustable, allowing for personalized treatment.
The procedure is minimally invasive, and recovery time is typically short.
Mild redness or swelling may occur and usually resolves within a few days.
A series of treatments is recommended for optimal results.
Hybrid CO2 laser
Alma Hybrid Laser, which combines CO₂ laser and 1507 nm laser, offers a cutting-edge solution for reducing the appearance of stretch marks and improving overall skin tone and texture.
Using a combination of laser resurfacing and microperforation, this device stimulates deep skin regeneration and collagen synthesis.
After treatment, patients may experience mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity in the treated areas. Light peeling may also occur as part of the skin renewal process. These effects are temporary and subside in a few days.
A treatment series is recommended for best results.
Cellbooster lift
Cellbooster Lift is an innovative injectable solution designed to improve skin tone, firmness, and elasticity, and has proven effective in treating stretch marks.
It contains a powerful blend of:
Hyaluronic acid
Peptides
Amino acids
Vitamin C
These ingredients boost skin regeneration and stimulate collagen and elastin production.
When combined with laser treatments, the injectable significantly reduces the appearance of stretch marks, leaving the skin smoother and more elastic.
Visible improvement is often seen after just a few sessions. Mild redness or swelling may occur post-treatment, typically resolving within hours to a few days.
Juvelook Collagen Stimulator
Juvelook is an advanced collagen stimulator that uses PDLLA (Poly-D, L-lactic acid) as its active ingredient and is particularly effective in treating stretch marks and improving skin elasticity.
Stretch marks result from the breakdown of collagen and elastin fibers due to rapid skin stretching.
Juvelook works by stimulating fibroblasts to produce new collagen, helping rebuild damaged tissue and reduce stretch mark visibility.
Treatment is usually carried out in sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, depending on the severity and extent of the stretch marks.
After the procedure, mild redness or swelling may occur but typically resolves within a few hours to days. Treatment effects gradually build over time, as new collagen continues to form for months after the session.
