What are Stretch Marks?

Stretch marks or striae, are slightly raised or depressed, discolored scars that develop on rapid, sudden stretching or shrinking of the skin due to rupture of collagen and elastin fibers. These narrow skin bands, in the early stage, may be red, pink, purple, or reddish/dark brown, as per one’s natural complexion, and may be itchy and bumpy. But, in the mature stage, they go underneath the skin, causing a white, slight depression or glossy, silvery streaks. Often, they develop on arms, abdomen, thighs, and breasts, and if they are widespread and highly noticeable, they could ruin one’s appearance.

Causes of Stretch Marks

Collagen and elastin are the skin's structural proteins that play a role in its firmness and elasticity. When skin stretches rapidly beyond its elasticity limit, the elastin fibers weaken or break, and so does collagen. Upon healing of the skin, stretch marks develop in areas with elastin loss.

Here are the usual triggers- the factors contributing to the development of stretch marks:

Pregnancy-related changes in the body
Rapid weight gain or loss
Growth spurts during adolescence
Genetic predisposition/family history
Certain medical conditions.

Suitable Candidates for Stretch Marks Treatment

In general, all healthy individuals who develop stretch marks or are at high risk can benefit from stretch mark treatment. These include:

East Asian, South Asian, Black, or Hispanic women who have finished childbearing and are seeking a pre-pregnancy appearance
Individuals of any skin type, but with no active skin conditions, should have realistic expectations for the treatment outcome

Stretch Marks Treatment- Top Professional Options

Mature stretch marks are harder to treat than newly created stretch marks. Treatments for stretch marks can only improve their appearance on the skin. They may not work to eliminate them.

Here are the most recommended dermatological treatments for stretch marks:

Prescription retin-oids- The new stretch mark appearance can be reduced with the application of retinoids like treti-noin that helps boost collagen production and promote skin cell turnover.
Laser therapy- Use of short pulses of a focused beam of fractional laser light can safely heat and resurface the mature stretch marks by stimulating collagen production and skin regeneration. The skin improvements can last up to a year and may persist for several years.
Dermabrasion- The stretch marks are scraped away using a dermabrasion tool with an abrasive tip or abrasive crystals. The smoother skin appears in several weeks to months.
RF Microneedling is a promising treatment for managing or removing stretch marks in Delhi. The stretch marks are managed using a special device. It has tiny, sterile needles that deliver radiofrequency energy into the skin. These needles create minute punctures to which the body responds by boosting collagen and elastin production. Full results take 4 to 6 months and show up after 3-6 treatments.
Plate-let Rich Pl-asma Therapy- Growth factors containing P-RP solution is taken in an injection and administered into the stretch marks. These facilitate the skin's natural healing and improve skin texture and appearance. The P-RP solution is extracted safely from the patient's own blood, making it an effective treatment for skin rejuvenation and glow.
Chemical Peels- Clinically-tested acid solutions that could peel off and exfoliate the skin to the desired depth while encouraging skin regeneration, are used over the stretch marks. Medium- or strong-strength peels are reserved for deep-seated, mature stretch marks. These work to fade stretch marks.
