Stretch Marks Removal in Delhi

Stretch marks, medically termed striae, are the scar-like, sunken, discolored lines/streaks on the skin formed by quick stretching/contracting of the skin. They are harmless, not physically painful, but cosmetic skin issues that can impact one’s looks, esteem, and confidence. In severe cases of skin distention, the skin could even be disfigured.

Generally, stretch marks appear on:

• Abdomen
• Hi-ps
• Thighs
• Upper arms
• Bre-asts
• Buttocks
• Lower back.

Based on the stretch marks causes and when they develop, given below are the different types of stretch marks:

• Striae rubrae- These are newly formed, slightly raised, and itchy, red, or discolored stretch marks.
• Striae alba- These are mature, depressed, white stretch marks.
• Striae gravidarum- These are the pregnancy stretch marks that appear on the abdomen, thighs, breasts, and hips. 
• Striae atrophicans- An underlying illness like Cushing’s syndrome or corticosteroid use is the reason for stretch marks of these kinds.

Stretch marks appearance can be lightened or reduced with the following cosmetic dermatological procedures at Delhi Wellness Clinics:

• Dermaroller therapy- In this traditional microneedling technique, a derma roller with tiny, fine needles of precise depth is used to create controlled micro-injuries over the stretch marks. Microneedling for stretch marks results in the formation of fresh collagen and elastin which reduces the stretch marks appearance.
• RF microneedling (MNRF)- This therapy combines the collagen-induction ability of the microneedling technique with radiofrequency energy to amplify collagen and elastin production and bring enhanced skin textural changes, thereby fading our stretch marks.
• Microdermabrasion- In this skin resurfacing treatment, tiny abrasive crystals or a microdermabrasion device with a diamond-tipped wand is used to remove the top layers of the skin and encourage the growth of healthy, new skin, thereby reducing the stretch marks appearance.
• Deep chemical peeling- Deep chemical peels like phenolic acid are applied onto the stretch marks to peel away the skin up to the dermis. As the skin heals, the skin's textural changes can be appreciated.
• Laser skin resurfacing- In the laser treatment for stretch marks fractional CO2 laser or pulsed dye laser is used over the stretch marks to create controlled thermal injuries and precisely remove outer layers of skin. The stretch marks over time vanish as smooth and healthy skin forms due to cell regeneration and fresh collagen growth.

Note: Treating newly formed stretch marks yields the best results whereas old, mature stretch marks may be hard to treat.
