What are stretch marks and how to get rid of them

We all have them. (Unless you’re one of the few lucky few who don’t!)

Stretch marks are nothing to be ashamed of. We often get them if we grow a baby in our belly, or lose weight, or work out.  Even though we should embrace and love each of our flaws, the truth is sometimes we don’t. Sometimes we just want our flaws to go away, and that’s ok too.

If you feel it’s time to get rid of your stretch marks, we’re here to help you achieve your goals.

First, let’s discuss what stretch marks are.

Stretch marks are wavy bands of “marbled” skin that often look red, purple, or flesh-colored. These bands are created when collagen and elastin in your skin are damaged by an extreme change in body growth. When your skin heals, the stretch marks make themselves apparent. They often appear on your arms, chest, stomach, hips, buttocks, or thighs.

As mentioned above, stretch marks can form due to pregnancy, weight loss or gain, exercising, Marfan syndrome or Cushing’s syndrome, or growth changes during adolescence. Some people are more prone to stretch marks than others, and it can be hereditary. It typically affects women more than men. While it’s sometimes difficult to prevent stretch marks, eating foods high in Omega-3 fatty acids, zinc and vitamins A, C and E, and staying hydrated, can help.

If you have stretch marks and want to minimize their appearance, we have just the treatment for you.

Our RF & LED Stretch Marks Reduction treatment uses a combination of thermo-controlled radiofrequency and LED photomodulation to regenerate skin cells, promote skin renewal, improve tone and elasticity, and erase the appearance of stretch marks.

Our patients see a noticeable difference after the first session, but we recommend multiple treatments to get optimal results. We typically can improve recent scars by 50-80 percent and old scars by 40-70 percent.

Like all of our treatments, RF & LED Stretch Marks Reduction is pain-free and has zero downtime, meaning you can hop right back to work.

If you’re looking for a treatment plan that gets rid of stretch marks and then some, we highly recommend our Intensive Stretch Marks Treatment. This targeted treatment plan includes Thermo-Controlled Radiofrequency for collagen stimulation and skin tightening; Micro-Needling Booster to speed up skin repair and retexturize skin; ElaDerm Le Serum CosmeLED to oxygenize skin cells; LED Photomodulation for extra collagen boosting; and ElaDerm’s Stretch Marks Gel to boost skin repair. This treatment is extremely cost effective and is only 60 to 90 minutes long.  

It’s never too late to get rid of those stretch marks you’ve been living with for years. Book your free consultation today.
