What is Stretch Marks?

Stretch marks, also known as striae, are long, narrow streaks, stripes, or lines that develop on the skin due to rapid stretching or shrinking. They commonly appear on areas like the abdomen, arms, breasts, hips, buttocks, and thighs. While they are harmless and painless, they can affect one’s appearance and self-confidence.

Stretch marks occur when the skin’s underlying support structure, particularly the collagen and elastin fibers, becomes damaged due to over-stretching. This damage leads to the formation of red, purple, or pinkish lines that gradually fade to white or silver as they heal. The initial reddish or purplish color is due to the blood vessels showing through the stretched skin. Over time, these vessels contract, and the fat underneath the skin becomes visible, leading to the lighter, more scar-like appearance.

Signs and Symptoms

Early Stage: Stretch marks often start as raised, reddish, brown, or purplish-pink scars that may itch. This is the ideal time for treatment, as the marks are easier to manage in their nascent stages.

Mature Stage: Over time, stretch marks become narrower and appear as deeper, darker, or sometimes white-colored lines sunken into the skin.

Stretch marks are a common and natural occurrence, especially during periods of rapid body changes. While they are often viewed as a cosmetic concern, they can be managed and their appearance minimized with the right care and treatments. If you’re concerned about stretch marks, consulting a dermatologist can help you explore the best options for your skin. At Evenly, we offer a range of treatments designed to help you achieve smoother, more even-toned skin.

Risk Factors for Stretch Marks

Pregnancy

Hormonal changes and rapid weight gain during pregnancy leading to stretch marks, particularly on the breasts, abdomen and thighs.

Rapid weight gain or loss

Significant and rapid changes in body weight can stretch the skin, leading to formation of stretch marks.

Genetics

A family history of stretch marks can increase the likelihood of developing them.

Medical Conditions

Certain conditions, such as Cushing's syndrome and Marfan syndrome, can weaken the skin's elastic fibres.

Muscle Building

Intense and rapid muscle growth, especially through weightlifting.

Hormonal Changes

Fluctuations in hormones, especially during periods of growth, can impact the skin's elasticity.

Advanced Stretch Marks Removal Treatments Available at Evenly

At Evenly, we provide advanced treatment options for stretch mark removal that are non-invasive. Here are the treatment options available. The doctor can advise standalone or in combination depending on the severity, skin type, and cause.

Topical Applications

Retinol can be used to remove stretch marks that appear recently or are still developing. However, the application on the older marks is not useful as they have no tissue activity.

Laser Therapy

Dermatologists use advanced USFDA-approved laser technology to reduce stretch marks over multiple sessions by enhancing the production of collagen.

Micro-needling radiofrequency

At Evenly Clinic, our dermatologists are experts in using MNRF (micro-needling with radiofrequency) for effective removal of new and old stretch marks. During the MNRF procedure, tiny needles create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface, while radiofrequency energy penetrates the deeper layers. This powerful combination stimulates the natural healing process by breaking down old, damaged collagen fibres and encouraging the production of new, healthy collagen.

MNRF not only improves skin texture but also enhances its youthful appeal, delivering multiple benefits in a single treatment. Experience the transformative results of MNRF at the Evenly Clinic and achieve the clear, flawless skin you deserve.
