Rapid stretching of the skin results in damage and breaking of the collagen and elastin foundation, resulting in stretch marks. Because stretched skin is more transparent, small blood vessels beneath the skin’s surface are initially more visible resulting in red or purplish marks. Over time these blood vessels contract and the purplish colour fades to white. Stretch marks usually appear on the abdomen, breasts, upper arms and thighs.
Eliza uses Radiofrequency Pixel laser treatment (ITED combined with IMPACT ultrasound) – one of the latest and most successful ways of treating stretch marks. Dermaroller – medical skin needling or Collagen Induction Therapy is also successful in the treatment of stretch marks. Both treatments dramatically stimulate the natural healing response and collagen production occurs to repair the damaged tissue.
At the consultation, Eliza will advise what the best treatment is for your specific case.
