Embark on a comprehensive journey with Lilium Skin Clinic’s expert guide to understanding and treating stretch marks. Commonly caused by rapid changes in body size, hormonal fluctuations, or genetic predisposition, stretch marks can affect skin texture and tone. Our advanced treatment options—including skin needling, chemical peels, laser resurfacing, and targeted medical-grade skincare—are meticulously designed to stimulate collagen production, improve skin elasticity, and restore your skin’s clarity, smoothness, and natural vibrancy with clinical precision.
Stretch marks, also known as striae, are a type of scar that forms when the dermis undergoes rapid tearing, stretching the collagen fibers. They can affect all skin types, conditions, and colors, initially appearing as red or purple lines that later fade to white or silver.
Stretch marks occur when the skin is pulled by rapid growth or stretching, disrupting the normal production of collagen. This leads to the formation of stretch marks.
Sudden growth spurts during puberty, rapid weight gain, or pregnancy can stretch the skin beyond its elasticity, leading to the formation of stretch marks
Family history can play a role in whether an individual is more prone to developing stretch marks. Genetic factors influence the skin’s inherent elasticity and ability to cope with rapid changes
Hormonal fluctuations during puberty, pregnancy, and certain medical conditions can impact the skin’s structure and contribute to the development of stretch marks
Prolonged or frequent use of corticosteroid medications can compromise the skin’s elasticity, making it more susceptible to stretch marks
Certain medical conditions, such as Cushing’s syndrome or Marfan syndrome, can weaken the skin’s connective tissues and increase the risk of developing stretch marks
