Stretch Marks Correction at Divas Hospital

Stretch marks (striae) are common skin changes that appear when skin is rapidly stretched—such as during pregnancy, growth spurts, significant weight fluctuations, or hormonal changes. They often begin as red or purple lines and over time fade to white or silvery tones. Though they may not disappear entirely, modern dermatological treatments can make them much less visible, improving skin texture, color, and confidence.

What Makes Them Happen

• Rapid stretching of the skin causes collagen and elastin fibers in the dermis to tear.

• Common triggers include pregnancy, rapid weight gain or loss, puberty, or use of certain steroid medications.

• As stretch marks mature, color changes from red/purple to white/silvery, and texture becomes more noticeable.

Our Correction Treatments

At Divas Hospital, we offer a customized plan depending on the age, location, color, and depth of the stretch marks. Treatments may include:

• Fractional Laser Therapy (Ablative / Non‑Ablative): Targets the deeper skin, stimulates collagen and elastin production, improves texture and color blending.

• Microneedling / RF Microneedling: Tiny controlled injuries to boost skin repair; often combined with growth factors or PRP.

• Chemical Peels: For superficial or newer stretch marks, to renew the skin surface and reduce discoloration.

• Topical Treatments: Retinoids (vitamin A derivatives), hyaluronic acid, specialized serums to support the skin repair process.

What to Expect: Process & Recovery

1. Consultation & Assessment — We examine your skin type, stretch mark characteristics (color, age, depth), past history, and lifestyle.

2. Preparation — May include cleansing, avoiding sun exposure, possibly topical prep creams.

3. The Treatment Sessions — Depending on the method, sessions last from ~30 minutes to an hour; discomfort is mild in most cases. Topical numbing may be used.

4. Post‑Treatment & Aftercare — Mild redness, swelling, warmth, or temporary peeling are common. Proper moisturizing, sun protection, and following care instructions significantly help.

5. Multiple Sessions — Fading and smoothing improve gradually over 3‑6 sessions (or more, depending on severity). Full effect may be visible over several months.

Results & Limitations

• Significant fading, improved texture, and color matching with surrounding skin are typical results.

• Older stretch marks (white/silvery) are harder to treat than newer ones (red/purple). Complete removal is unlikely.

• Good results depend on realistic expectations, adherence to sessions, and aftercare.
