Stretch Marks
Stretch marks, medically known as striae, are linear marks that develop when the skin stretches rapidly, leading to alterations in the dermal connective tissue. They commonly appear on the abdomen, thighs, hips, breasts, upper arms, and other areas of the body.

They may initially appear pink, red, purple, or darker than the surrounding skin before gradually becoming lighter and more noticeable as fine, pale lines. Common contributing factors include rapid growth during puberty, pregnancy, significant weight changes, hormonal influences, and genetic predisposition. Treatment options include fractional laser resurfacing and radiofrequency microneedling to stimulate collagen remodelling and improve skin texture.

The choice depends on the type of stretch marks and skin characteristics. Multiple sessions may be needed, and results vary.
