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.
Stretch Marks Treatment
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.
What to expect:
A popular Dermapen Treatment is for the reduction of stretch marks, both old and new. With a dedicated scar setting, the professional-grade Dermapen 4™ can go to depths up to 3mm. The 1,920 micro-channels created each second effectively release and break down existing fibrous tissue and promote new collagen production for smoother, firmer and renewed skin.
You'll be amazed at how quickly the device moves over the skin so that even larger areas, such as the tummy or thighs, are covered quickly and with virtually no pain.
A clinical consultation will determine the frequency and duration of your stretch mark Dermapen Treatment, following our advanced Protocols. Your practitioner will use the specially formulated Dp Dermaceuticals™ skincare range as a Meso-Glide™, needling in restorative actives to fade away stretch marks.
While depths over 0.5mm should always be left to the professionals, you can use the Dermapen HOME™ microneedling pen safely between clinic visits to speed up and improve your results. Supporting your skin with Dp Dermaceuticals before, during, and after your treatment will help you achieve better, long-lasting results.

Stretch MarksLooking for the Best Stretch Marks Treatment?
A stretch mark is a type of scar that develops when our skin stretches or shrinks rapidly. The abrupt change causes inflammation in our skin. As the skin heals, stretch marks may appear. They often appear during growth spurts in puberty, pregnancy, rapid weight loss or gain, and weight training with rapid muscle growth.
What Do Stretch Marks Look Like?
Stretch marks can vary in appearance depending on your skin tone and the stage at which they are. Initially, th...ey can be red, purple, pink, reddish-brown, or dark brown, depending on your skin colour, and may feel slightly raised and itchy. Over time, the colour fades to white or silver, and the narrow bands sink beneath your skin.
Stretch marks can impact confidence differently for each person. Some individuals embrace them as a natural part of their body, while others may feel self-conscious. While often thought of as permanent, Dermapen Treatments can make them less noticeable.
How Do Dermapen Treatments for Stretch Marks Work?
Dermapen 4™ is a powerful microneedling device used for various skin concerns, including stretch marks. Here’s how it can help improve their appearance:
Mechanism of Action:
The Dermapen 4 creates precise micro-injuries in the skin using fine needles. These controlled injuries stimulate collagen and elastin production. Over time, this remodelling process reduces the appearance of stretch mark scars.
Depth and Coverage:
Dermapen 4 can reach depths that make it effective for both old and new stretch marks. It creates 1,920 micro-channels per second, breaking down fibrous tissue and promoting collagen renewal. Larger areas (like the tummy or thighs) can be treated quickly with minimal discomfort.
Stretch Mark Treatment Protocol:
A clinical consultation with an Authorised Treatment Provider is necessary to determine the frequency and duration of Dermapen Treatments. Specially formulated Dp Dermaceuticals™ skincare products are used before, during and after needling to enhance results.
Accelerate Results:
Between clinic visits, you can safely use the Dermapen HOME™ microneedling pen. Supporting your skin with Dp Dermaceuticals before, during, and after the procedure enhances outcomes.
