Stretch Marks
Stretch marks are a common skin concern affecting individuals of all ages and body types. They often appear as narrow stripes or lines on the skin, caused by the stretching and tearing of the dermis layer of the skin. While they pose no severe health risk, many want to diminish their appearance.
Elevate Medical Aesthetics proudly provides stretch marks treatment from our Wakefield, Yorkshire clinic. By undergoing Morpheus8 and Dermapen treatments, you can experience significant stretch mark and scar visibility reduction with smoother, firmer skin. These treatments offer safe and effective options for addressing stretch marks to help you restore confidence in your skin. Book a consultation to learn more today!
What Causes Stretch Marks?
Stretch marks (also called striae) occur when the skin is stretched during periods of rapid growth, such as pregnancy, puberty or significant weight loss or gain. Initially, stretch marks appear as purple or red streaks due to blood vessels showing through the tears in the dermis layer of the skin. Over time, they may fade to a lighter colour and become less visible, but they often remain as permanent scars. Whether you have stretch marks on your biceps, hips, abdomen, thighs, buttocks or breasts, we can customise stretch marks treatment at our Wakefield clinic to each patient’s needs.
Treating Stretch Marks at Our Wakefield Aesthetic Clinic
At Elevate Medical Aesthetics, we use various treatment options to reduce the appearance of stretch marks. We offer a complimentary consultation to discuss the right stretch marks treatment for you:
- Morpheus8 – This fractional radiofrequency micro-needling device delivers radiofrequency energy deep into the skin layers to stimulate collagen and elastin production. The process helps remodel damaged skin tissue, improve texture and reduce the appearance of stretch marks. Combining micro-needling and radiofrequency energy promotes skin tightening and enhances overall skin quality. We recommend a course of 3-5 treatments for optimal results.
- Dermapen – This micro-needling therapy creates controlled skin micro-injuries to trigger the body’s natural healing process and stimulate collagen production. As new collagen forms, the skin becomes firmer and more elastic, reducing stretch mark appearance. Dermapen helps break down scar tissue and encourages the growth of new, healthy skin cells to improve the area’s texture and tone. We recommend a course of six treatments to treat stretch marks.
- Chemical Peels – By applying a chemical solution to the skin to remove its top layers, chemical peels speed up cell turnover to reduce the appearance of stretch marks. The solution exfoliates the skin, causing it to peel, and as the skin heals, new, more elastic skin takes its place. The skin that grows back after a chemical peel is younger-looking and smoother. Peels come in various strengths, ranging from light to deep, to tackle stretch marks of varying ages and severity.
