Stretch Marks Treatment

Stretch Marks in medical term in known as Striae Distensae. Stretch marks can appear after the excess weight gain or loss, during or post pregnancy or puberty. These marks do not indicate any serious health problem as it happens when after excessive weight loss, body is not able to bounce back properly. These scars are just under the top layer of the skin and initially appear red or pink in color then after sometime white or silver. Stretch mark treatment may include Non-ablative fractional laser treatment including CO2 + PRP + DR (Derma Roller). It penetrates deep into the dermal layers and denatures the proteins as collagen.
