Understanding Stretch Marks
Stretch marks are a kind of scar that occurs when your skin stretches or shrinks too quickly. The sudden fluctuation in skin size leads to a rupture of collagen and elastin, the supportive fibers beneath the skin. These lines eventually may fade, but they often never disappear completely. They can develop in anyone after pregnancy, rapid weight gain or loss, or at times of growth spurts. The abdomen, thighs, hips, chest, and upper arms are regions most commonly affected.
Why and When Stretch Marks Commonly Appear
They occur during those periods of life when there is a change in hormone levels or skin stretching, which could be during pregnancy, puberty, or building muscles. During pregnancy, they generally start during the second or third trimester as the abdomen is expanding. They start off as red or purple streaks and eventually fade into white or silvery lines as they mature.
stretch marks go away naturally
While stretch marks might fade over time, they very seldom completely disappear on their own. Skin creams or natural remedies such as aloe vera, cocoa butter, and vitamin E will help soften their appearance, but they cannot rebuild the lost collagen. This is the reason many people eventually seek professional treatments that will reduce their visibility for good.
Can stretch marks be prevented or minimized
Not all are preventable, but well-hydrated and elastic skin can still make a difference. A gentle moisturizer applied daily, hydration, ingestion of foods with vitamin C, zinc, and protein, and steady weight gain in pregnancy or training are ways to minimize their severity.
Modern Treatments That Reduce Stretch Marks Effectively
At London Aesthetics & Rejuvenation Centre, under the leadership of Dr. Badie Idris, various advanced skin treatments target both new and old stretch marks. The procedures are tailor-made to skin type, texture, and depth of scarring for visible, lasting results.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy
This treatment uses your own platelets to trigger the natural production of collagen, hence rejuvenating the skin and thereby lightening the marks from within.
Microneedling Radiofrequency (MNRF)
Combines microneedling and radiofrequency energy to remodel the skin’s deeper layers, making stretch marks smoother and firmer.
Carboxy Therapy
Non-invasive medical treatment which involves the transcutaneous administration of CO₂ to increase blood flow and stimulate collagen.
Fractora 4D Resurfacing
Revolutionary radiofrequency device that tightens the skin, reducing the colour contrast between normal skin and stretch marks.
Plexr Plasma & Sugar Threads
Both treatments work by tightening the skin and stimulating collagen to help clear stubborn stretch marks gently and safely.
All these treatments are available at London Aesthetics & Rejuvenation Centre in DHA Lahore, Thokar Niaz Baig, and Faisalabad, where our staff tailors each plan according to your skin condition.
Best Stretch Mark Creams and Home Support
For mild stretch marks, over-the-counter creams that contain retinol, peptides, or hyaluronic acid will be of great help. Many clients also use medical-grade serums after professional treatments to maintain smooth results. However, it is better to avoid random store-bought products and consult a skin specialist to choose what suits your skin best.
Stretch Marks for Men and Women
These are not restricted to women only, as men also may develop the issue at times of rapid muscle gain or during periods of hormonal changes. Be it through pregnancy, growth, or fitness regimen-related causes, the remedy remains constant: focusing on the rejuvenation of collagen and elasticity of the skin through advanced therapies.
