Stretch marks, also called striae are nothing but scars that happen when your skin changes shape rapidly due to growth or weight gain.

The abrupt change causes the collagen and elastin, which support our skin, to rupture. As the skin heals, stretch marks may appear. Stretch marks (striae) are indented streaks that appear on the abdomen, breasts, hips, buttocks or other places on the body.

The commonest causes of stretch marks are:-

• Growth spurts that happen in puberty

• Pregnancy

• Rapid weight loss or gain

• Weight training when you have rapid muscle growth

Stretch mark used to be a very difficult to treat thing in the past, but with the advent of newer technologies, it is now possible to improve them to a considerable extent so that they cease to be a cosmetic problem.

The treatment provided by the expert dermatologist at Dermapoint helps reduce the appearance of stretch marks by regeneration of skin and activates new collagen, elastin, and melanin production.

Various treatment options are available for stretch mark removal, and depending upon one’s skin type, and for the concern, the treatment is provided.

Many times combinations of treatments are provided to remove old, white stretch marks or red stretch marks.
