What it is
To choose the most suitable treatment, we first assess how damaged the skin is. The protocol differs according to the colour of the stretch mark and is adapted to its depth and how long it has been there. Taking these factors into account, the stretch mark may be removed completely or, in other cases, its appearance improved.
Recommended treatments
- Biostimulation therapies: these use the growth factors in your own blood to stimulate skin regeneration and improve the appearance of stretch marks.
- Fractional laser: pulses of laser light boost collagen and elastin production in the skin, which reduces the appearance of stretch marks.
- Carboxytherapy: carbon dioxide is applied to the affected area, which improves blood circulation and stimulates collagen production.
- Chemical peel: a chemical solution exfoliates the top layer of the skin and promotes cell renewal, which can fade stretch marks.
- Radiofrequency microneedling: combines radiofrequency with minimally invasive microneedles that stimulate collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin. It is also used to correct acne scars.
Who it is for
People with stretch marks caused by sudden weight changes, pregnancy or hormonal factors. We treat the areas where they most often appear:
- Abdomen
- Thighs
- Buttocks
- Flanks
- Armpits
- Chest
The session
Before starting, we assess the colour, depth and age of your stretch marks to decide which treatment suits you best.
The treatment takes about 20 minutes and needs no anaesthesia: the treatments are applied directly to the skin and are well tolerated. You can go back to your daily activities straight afterwards.
If radiofrequency microneedling is used, the session takes about 30 minutes.
Results
Depending on the depth and age of the stretch marks, they can be removed completely or their appearance clearly improved. What you can expect:
- Complete or partial removal of the stretch mark.
- Better feel, texture and firmness, with smoother skin.
- More even skin, without irregularities.
- Less pigment in red stretch marks.
With radiofrequency microneedling, better texture and radiance are usually noticeable from the first week after treatment.
