Stretch marks - primary care physician consultation and personalized treatment plan

Stretch marks are modifications of the dermis that appear when skin is subjected to rapid stretching or when collagen and elastin fibers are affected. These can appear at different stages of life, including during puberty, during pregnancy, following weight fluctuations, or as a result of hormonal changes.

Initially, stretch marks may have a reddish or purple color (striae rubrae), and over time they can become whitish (striae albae). Although they do not represent a serious medical problem, stretch marks can be an aesthetic concern for many people.

Modern aesthetic medicine offers numerous minimally invasive procedures that can help improve the appearance of stretch marks by stimulating skin regeneration and collagen production. These treatments can help improve skin texture and reduce the visibility of stretch marks.

During the medical consultation, the physician evaluates the affected area, the type of stretch marks, and the skin characteristics. Based on this evaluation, a personalized treatment plan is established, which may include skin regeneration procedures and dermatological technologies available at the clinic.

Treatments available at the clinic:

• Microneedling Nanopore Stylus – procedure that stimulates skin regeneration and collagen production
• PRP (regenerative therapy) – treatment based on growth factors obtained from the patient's blood, used for skin regeneration
• PRX-T33 – biorevitalization procedure that stimulates skin regeneration without intense exfoliation
• Medical peels – dermatological treatments that contribute to improving skin texture
• EXION – technology used to stimulate skin regeneration and improve skin firmness
• Exilis Ultra 360 – procedure used to stimulate collagen and improve skin firmness
• CO₂ Laser – used for skin rejuvenation and improvement of skin texture
• Harmony XL Pro Dermatological Laser – laser technology used for dermatological and aesthetic treatments

The optimal treatment is established following medical consultation, depending on the stage of stretch marks, the area being treated, and the skin characteristics of each patient.
