At Dermathetics in Farringdon, our expert team is dedicated to helping you reduce stretch marks and restore your body confidence. We offer a free in-clinic body consultation with our advanced practitioners to determine the best treatment for you. Below, we answer your key questions about stretch marks and our effective solutions.
Stretch marks are indented scars that appear as streaks on the abdomen, breasts, hips, buttocks, or other body areas. They form when the skin stretches or shrinks rapidly, disrupting collagen and elastin—key proteins that support skin structure—leaving behind visible marks.
Stretch marks result from sudden skin changes, often triggered by:
● Puberty: Rapid growth spurts stretch the skin.
● Pregnancy: Expanding skin accommodates a growing baby.
● Weight Fluctuations: Quick gain or loss alters skin tension.
● Muscle Growth: Intense weight training can stretch skin over expanding muscles.
Our Dermathetics medical practitioners can assess your stretch marks to recommend the most suitable treatment.
Yes, stretch marks evolve:
● Early Stage: They appear red, purple, rosy, reddish-brown, or dark brown (depending on skin tone), often feeling raised and itchy.
● Mature Stage: Over time, they fade to a silvery-white hue and sink below the skin’s surface, creating a slight depression detectable by touch.
Treating them early, while still pigmented, yields the best results.
For optimal outcomes, treat stretch marks as soon as they appear—while they’re still red or purple. Once they turn silver, removal becomes more challenging, though our advanced treatments can still improve their appearance.
At Dermathetics, we offer proven, non-surgical treatments to reduce stretch marks. We recommend starting with a free in-clinic body consultation, where our practitioners will evaluate your skin and tailor a plan. Our options include:
