What Causes Stretch Marks?

Stretch marks, or striae distensae, occur due to the rapid stretching of the skin, leading to the breakdown of collagen and elastin fibres in the dermis. This often happens during pregnancy, puberty, or rapid weight gain/loss. Studies show that hormonal fluctuations, particularly increased levels of glucocorticoids, interfere with fibroblasts' ability to produce collagen and elastin, resulting in thinner skin that is prone to tearing.

Stretch marks initially appear red, purple, or pink and fade over time to a silvery white as the skin heals. Although they are common and harmless, many people seek treatment to improve their appearance.

Microneedling

How Microneedling Reduces Stretch Marks

Microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy, uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process triggers the body’s natural wound-healing response, which stimulates collagen and elastin production. Microneedling is highly effective for treating stretch marks by remodeling damaged collagen and improving the skin’s texture. Microneedling can reduce the visibility of both early-stage (striae rubra) and older stretch marks (striae alba), making it a versatile option for various skin types​.

Benefits of Microneedling

  • Stimulates collagen and elastin production

  • Effective for both new and older stretch marks

  • Minimal downtime, with most patients resuming normal activities within 1-2 days

  • Can be combined with other treatments, such as PRP, for enhanced results

Female patient undergoing 1540 non-ablative fractional laser treatment for stretch mark reduction. This laser stimulates collagen remodeling for improved skin texture and elasticity.

Fractional Laser

How Fractional Lasers Work to Reduce Stretch Marks

Fractional laser technology creates micro-injuries deep within the skin, stimulating collagen production and skin regeneration without damaging the outer layers. This laser targets stretch marks and scars by promoting dermal remodelling, which gradually improves skin texture and elasticity. 1540-nm fractional lasers increase type I and type III collagen synthesis, essential for scar and stretch mark reduction.

Benefits of Fractional Laser

  • Reduces deep scars and stretch marks

  • Stimulates collagen for skin tightening

  • Minimal downtime, with most clients resuming normal activities within 3-5 days

COST OF FRACTIONAL LASER FOR STRETCH MARKS

  • Complimentary

  • $350

  • $900

  • $1500

Female patient receiving INFINI RF microneedling treatment for deep stretch mark reduction. This advanced treatment combines radiofrequency energy with microneedling to promote collagen production and tighten skin.

INFINI RF

How INFINI RF Reduces Stretch Marks

INFINI RF combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to create micro-injuries on the skin's surface while also delivering heat deep into the dermis. This dual-action approach stimulates collagen and elastin production at multiple levels, leading to significant improvements in skin texture and elasticity. RF microneedling enhances collagen remodeling and skin tightening, making it particularly effective for treating deeper stretch marks.

Benefits of INFINI RF

  • Stimulates collagen and elastin production in deeper skin layers

  • Effectively reduces deeper stretch marks and scars

  • Provides skin-tightening effects

  • Minimal downtime (3-5 days)

COST OF INFINI RF FOR STRETCH MARKS

  • Complimentary

  • Single Session: $780

  • Package of 3 Treatments: $1950

Treatments to Enhance
Your Results.

To maximise the benefits of your in-clinic treatments, we offer a selection of add-on treatments designed to accelerate healing, boost collagen production, and prolong your results. These services are tailored to work synergistically with your primary treatments.

Female patient undergoing Healite II LED Therapy, a non-invasive treatment that accelerates healing and reduces inflammation after stretch mark treatments like microneedling or laser therapy.

Healite LED Light

How Healite Enhances Stretch Mark Reduction

Healite II LED Therapy utilises low-level light energy (LLLT) to stimulate healing and cellular regeneration. This non-invasive light therapy delivers wavelengths of LED light deep into the skin, which enhances your body’s natural healing processes, reduces inflammation, and promotes collagen production. LED therapy can significantly improve post-treatment recovery and overall skin rejuvenation​.

Benefits of Healite II LED Light Therapy

  • Speeds up healing: Healite II enhances the skin's recovery following treatments like microneedling or laser therapy.

  • Reduces inflammation: Effectively decreases post-treatment redness and swelling, allowing for faster healing.

  • Boosts collagen: Promotes collagen synthesis, leading to improved skin texture and overall radiance.

Female patient receiving PRP therapy, an advanced treatment using platelet-rich plasma to enhance healing and improve collagen production after microneedling or laser treatments.

Platelet-Rich Plasma

How PRP Enhances Stretch Mark Reduction

PRP therapy harnesses the regenerative properties of your own blood plasma, which is rich in growth factors that stimulate collagen and tissue regeneration. When used in conjunction with treatments like microneedling or fractional laser, PRP accelerates the healing process and enhances the effectiveness of the primary treatment. PRP boosts collagen production, leading to faster and more pronounced improvements in the appearance of scars, stretch marks, and skin texture​

Benefits of PRP

  • Accelerates healing: Reduces downtime by promoting faster skin regeneration post-treatment.

  • Boosts collagen production: Increases collagen and elastin, enhancing the skin's natural repair process.

  • Enhances results: When combined with other treatments, PRP delivers more visible and long-lasting improvements in skin texture and tone.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Stretch mark reduction uses advanced techniques like microneedling, laser therapy, and radiofrequency to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture. These treatments help reduce the appearance of stretch marks by promoting skin regeneration.

  • While treatments can significantly reduce the appearance of stretch marks, complete removal isn’t always possible. The goal is to make them less visible and improve overall skin texture.

  • Common areas treated include the abdomen, thighs, hips, breasts, and upper arms. Our team will create a customised treatment plan based on your specific areas of concern.

  • Most clients see improvement after 3-6 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. The number of sessions depends on the severity of the stretch marks and the treatment method used.

  • Discomfort levels vary depending on the treatment. Techniques like microneedling or laser therapy may cause mild discomfort, but numbing agents are used to enhance client comfort.

  • You may experience temporary redness, swelling, or tenderness at the treated area. These effects usually subside within a few days. Results will gradually improve as the skin regenerates.
