Stretch marks are scars that form on the skin as a result of rapid stretching of its structure, leading to damage in the dermis layer of the skin. They most commonly appear on the abdomen, thighs, buttocks and breasts. Treatments for stretch marks aim to improve the appearance of the skin by stimulating collagen production, regenerating the epidermis and reducing the appearance of scars. Treatments include fractional laser therapy, microdermabrasion, chemical peels, needle mesotherapy and micro-needle radiofrequency. Starting therapy early, when the stretch marks are still red or purple in colour, increases the chances of reducing them. In advanced cases, multiple treatment sessions may be required.

Each of the available methods works on a different level of the skin, allowing for optimal results depending on the stage of the stretch marks. The choice of technology is always decided by a specialist based on an analysis of the skin condition and the patient's expectations.
