Stretch marks are often known as striae, which are intended streaks on any part of the body caused due to stretching of the skin. Due to the skin being rapidly stretched (torn), it lacks firm compact collagen and elastin fibers, resulting in noticeable scar-like marks. Stretch marks appear reddish purple, before eventually fading to become lighter, almost white, or darker for others.Both men and women can experience stretch marks, but the treatment works equally for each. We have a number of stretch marks treatments, including Skin Needling for stretch marks and our Clinical skincare range, at our laser clinic in Bondi Junction.
Stretch Marks, clinically called striae, are generally a result of the skin being stretched rapidly or contracting rapidly. Due to the speed of the connective tissue being pulled apart, the collagen and elastin don't have enough time to expand or contract correctly or have sufficient time to replace or repair the skin’s connective tissue. This can be a genetic issue, but does happen to most people
Common known causes of stretch marks are rapid growth in teens, rapid weight gain or weight loss, and pregnancy stretch marks are so common they affect almost all women who have had a child. Fitness or body builders may experience stretch marks too due to rapid muscle gain.
Skin Needling has been clinically proven to neutralise the appearance of scarring on any body part including the tough stretch marks. It works by breaking up the tight, intact fibres that combine to create these scar tissue. After the process is done, your body starts recognising the changes in skin tissue structure introduced by the skin needles and responds positively by initiating a healing process. The treatment is simple and releases skin congestion as well as rejuvenates it.
