About
Understanding Stretch Marks
Appearance:
Stretch marks may initially appear as red, purple, or dark brown streaks, which eventually fde to a lighter colour, resembling silver or white lines. They can vary in length and depth, and may appear anywhere on the body, most commonly on the abdomen, thighs, hip, breast and buttocks.
Causes:
• Rapid skin stretching: Physical changes such as pregnancy or muscle building can lead to rapid skin expansion.
• Hormonal changes: Fluctuations in hormones, particularly in puberty or pregnancy, can affect the skins elasticity.
• Genetics: A family history of stretch marks can increase the likelihood of stretch marks

How We Can Help
At SKiiN Laser Clinic
The Pro Yellow laser can help reduce the redness in the stretch marks primarily due to its specific wavelength of 577nm which is highly absorbed by hemoglobin in blood vessels. It can also promote collagen production improving skin texture and firmness.
The Dermablate helps with stretch marks by using an Er:YAG to precisely remove damaged tissue, stimulating the body’s natural healing process to produce new, healthy skin cells in its place, resulting in smoother and less visible stretch marks.
