We get asked this question often within our skin clinic and as treatments have advanced over the years, there is certainly more you can do for them moving into 2020.
Understanding what stretch marks are
Stretch marks tend to happen when your body grows quickly, for example through, pregnancy or weight gain and also through fast growth.
Fractures in the collagen occur within connected tissues of the dermis when the skin is stretched quickly and this then results in thin and rippled stretch marks.
Although it is unlikely to completely get rid of stretch marks, treatments such as IPL (intense pulse light) and Micro-Needling can improve the appearance, promote collagen and reduce redness.
