Stretch Marks
How Are They Caused?
This skin concern is most commonly associated with pregnancy but can occur anytime skin stretches or shrinks very fast. Rapid weight gain, rapid weight loss and rapid muscle growth are all common causes. Even growth spurts from puberty can lead to this issue. What happens is that the collagen and elastin in our skin, which keeps it stretchy and resilient, ruptures due to the sudden change, causing marks to appear as it heals.
How Can Stretch Marks Be Treated?
We offer treatment options that can help improve the appearance of stretch marks. InMode Forma Plus uses radiofrequency energy to gently heat the skin and support its natural healing response, helping improve uneven texture and streak-like lines. Fractional Laser treatments may also help promote collagen production and create a smoother, more even skin tone and texture.
