Stretch Marks Treatment

Stretch marks (striae) can strike anyone at any time. Often mistakenly thought to be permanent, you can reduce the appearance of these common types of scars with Dermapen Treatments™ and enjoy smoother skin once more.

Condition Overview

Usually presenting first as red or blue lines before fading into white, silver or brown, stretch marks can be brought on by a growth spurt, pregnancy, rapid weight gain or loss and even some types of steroid medication. There are three layers of skin. The two top layers of skin are called the dermis and the epidermis. Underneath this, there’s a fatty subcutaneous layer. When tissue underneath the skin expands or contracts, the skin stretches to accommodate these changes. However, when this happens over a short time, inflammation can occur in the skin. This is what causes stretch marks. Dermapen Treatments encourage the production and distribution of new collagen to remodel the stretch mark scar and greatly reduce its appearance. Many practitioners and patients have claimed that Dermapen Treatments have been far more effective than other traditional methods of reducing stretch marks, such as laser or superficial creams.

Symptoms

Stretch marks vary in appearance depending on factors such as skin color and elasticity. They typically show up as lines that differ in color and texture from the surrounding skin. Initially, stretch marks can appear red, purple, brown, or pink, depending on your skin tone. Over time, these marks fade and take on a silver or white appearance. Stretch marks often have a shiny texture, giving them a distinct look compared to normal skin. They may also feel slightly indented or ridged, creating a subtle variation in the skin’s surface.

Stretch Mark Dermapen Treatments™


While stretch marks are still in the red, brown or purple phase, there are still blood vessels present under the skin. As time passes, these narrow. Without blood vessels it’s harder to stimulate collagen production, which is needed to reduce the appearance of stretch marks. The earlier you target your stretch marks, the greater your chance of success.

Due to my stomach stretching from two pregnancies I had extensive scarring from stretch marks. After the Dermapen I have found three areas which is almost stretch mark free with only a hint of scaring. I cannot thank you enough as it not only helped with my scarring but also my self esteem.

I was scared, I thought that the needle would be very painful. Actually it was not too bad. I can already see results after one treatment. Stretch marks are whiter and tighter, and my skin is much smoother.

DERMAPEN™ stimulates the regenerative processes taking place in the skin, thus stimulating its regeneration in a natural way. Thanks to the stimulation of new tissue formation, it is possible to effectively treat scars and stretch marks.
