General information about the procedure
Stretch Mark Removal Methods
The most effective way to remove a defect is at the initial stage of its development, when the skin becomes red and inflamed. At this stage, you can use creams and gels to improve the skin condition or perform regular massage. Old stretch marks cannot be changed by such methods.
More serious approaches are needed to eliminate old defects:
| Method | Description | Application |
|---|---|---|
| Massage | Improves blood circulation, stimulates skin regeneration. Can be done manually or with brushes. | Suitable for early stages of stretch marks, may be less effective in later stages. |
| Microdermabrasion | Mechanical removal of the upper layers of skin to stimulate renewal. | Recommended for old, clearly visible stretch marks, when white stripes are visible. |
| Laser resurfacing | Using a laser to reduce the appearance of stretch marks, improve skin texture and color. | Suitable for mid to late stages of stretch marks, when a significant improvement in the appearance of the skin is required. |
| Photothermolysis | Laser action destroys damaged fibers and stimulates regeneration. | Effective for removing old and deep stretch marks. Safe and can be used on sensitive areas. |
| Collagen injections | Injecting collagen into damaged areas to restore skin structure. | Used to fill stretch marks and restore skin when other methods are ineffective. |
In addition to these methods, consultations with a dermatologist and other specialists, such as an endocrinologist or mammologist, will help determine the most appropriate stretch mark removal plan. Determining the need for hormonal correction is also important for successful removal of defects.

What are stretch marks (striae)?
Stretch marks are visible stripes on the skin that form as a result of rapid stretching. Most often, stretch marks form during pregnancy, rapid weight gain or loss, and periods of intense growth.
The defects begin as red or purple lines that may become lighter over time. The shade of stretch marks depends on the color of the skin and may change over time. The initial red color indicates the blood flow to the damaged areas to restore them. Stretch marks most often appear in the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, chest, and upper arms.
