Stretch marks are a very common change in the skin. They can appear after pregnancy, growth spurts, or changes in weight, and many people simply want them to be less noticeable.<\/p>\n
Stretch marks form when the skin stretches quickly. Early marks often look pink, red, or purple, and over time they usually fade to a lighter, silvery tone with a slightly different texture from the surrounding skin.<\/p>\n
Depending on the assessment, treatments that encourage skin renewal may be considered, such as a suitable laser treatment like Fractional Laser<\/a> or Microneedling<\/a>. Newer marks often respond better than older, established ones, and the right approach depends on the colour and texture of the marks and your skin type.<\/p>\n Your appointment starts with an assessment of the marks, their age, their colour, and your skin type. We then discuss suitable options and set realistic expectations before any treatment begins.<\/p>\n The goal is to improve the appearance of stretch marks and make them less visible. Complete removal cannot be guaranteed, and results vary between individuals. Keeping the skin moisturised and protected from the sun supports your results.<\/p>\n Some treatments may not be suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, over broken or inflamed skin, or with certain health conditions. This is reviewed during your assessment.<\/p>\nWhat to Expect<\/h2>\n
