Stretch marks are a common skin concern that appear as streaks or lines on the skin, often developing during periods of rapid growth or changes in body size. At Finesse Skin Clinic, we offer various treatments to help reduce the visability of stretch marks.
Stretch marks develop on the skin, when the skin is suddenly stretched. Often after a period of intense growth ie weight gain, pregnancy, weight loss and puberty.
Before stretch marks begin to emerge the skin can appear thin and pink. It may also feel irritated and itchy. The marks initially develop as wrinkly, raised streaks that can be red, purple, pink reddish brown or dark brown depending upon skin colour. The streaks eventually fade and flatten and tend to change to a silvery colour over time. They will gradually become less noticeable, but this can often take years.
For some people stretch marks are a serious cosmetic concern that can cause problems with self-image and anxiety.
At Finesse Skin Clinic, we specialise in safe and effective stretch mark removal at our clinic in Gloucestershire.
SkinPen® Precision Micro-needling comfortably creates thousands of controlled micro-injuries in the skin to trigger the body’s natural wound healing process, this process results in the formation and remodelling of collagen and elastin which supports the underlying tissue.
The new collagen that’s formed will help smooth out your skin’s appearance
