Stretch Marks
Stretch marks are a type of scar that can form when the skin stretches quickly, such as during growth spurts, pregnancy, or weight changes. In cosmetic practice, some people explore options to reduce their appearance, but responses vary and a consultation with a registered health practitioner is required to assess suitability and discuss risks

Understanding Stretch Marks
What are Stretch Marks?
Stretch marks (also known as striae) are a common skin change that occur when the skin stretches quickly. They form in the dermis, the middle layer of the skin, and are visible on the surface. New stretch marks may look pink, red, or purple, and over time they may fade in colour.
What Causes Stretch Marks?
Stretch marks can occur when skin stretches rapidly due to growth, weight changes, or hormonal factors. They are often seen in adolescence, pregnancy, body building, or after significant weight gain.
Can Stretch Marks Be Managed?
Stretch marks are a natural part of the body and cannot be removed completely. In cosmetic practice, some people explore options such as topical products or laser-based approaches to reduce their appearance. A consultation with a registered health practitioner is required to review your concerns, discuss possible options, and explain risks and limitations.
