Stretch Marks

What are stretch marks?

Stretch marks are marks on the skin that develop when the skin stretches rapidly, causing changes in collagen and elastin fibers. They may appear on the abdomen, buttocks, hips, thighs, breasts, and other areas, especially during pregnancy, significant weight changes, or periods of growth.

How can stretch marks be treated?

Treatment depends on the type, age, and characteristics of the stretch marks. Options may include laser treatments, microneedling, radiofrequency, chemical peels, and other aesthetic medicine and dermatological procedures. These treatments aim to improve their appearance and texture, although results vary from patient to patient.

Which specialist treats stretch marks?

Stretch marks can be evaluated and treated by a dermatologist, aesthetic medicine physician, or plastic surgeon, depending on the treatment required. The specialist determines which procedure may be most appropriate for each case.
