Stretch marks are a natural part of life. They can develop during pregnancy, growth spurts, weight changes, or periods of muscle growth, reflecting the many ways our bodies change over time. While they’re incredibly common, some people choose to explore treatments to make them less noticeable.
At ANEU Med Spa, we believe that feeling confident in your skin starts with understanding it. Our experienced providers evaluate the age, color, texture, and location of your stretch marks, along with your individual skin characteristics, to recommend a personalized approach.
Because at ANEU, it’s not about erasing the changes your body has experienced. It’s about helping you feel comfortable and confident in your skin.
Stretch marks, also known as striae, are a form of scarring that develops when the skin stretches or contracts relatively quickly, disrupting the collagen and elastin that support its structure.
Common contributing factors include:
Newer stretch marks may appear pink, red, purple, or darker than the surrounding skin. Over time, they often become lighter and may develop a slightly indented texture.
Understanding these differences helps determine which treatments may be most appropriate for improving their appearance.
SkinPen microneedling uses controlled microinjuries to stimulate the skin’s natural collagen remodeling process. For appropriately selected patients, microneedling may help improve the appearance and texture of stretch marks over a series of treatments.
RF microneedling combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen remodeling within the skin. Depending on the treatment area and individual skin characteristics, it may help improve the appearance of certain stretch marks and surrounding skin texture.
Selected laser resurfacing treatments may help improve the appearance of stretch marks by addressing textural changes and stimulating skin remodeling. The most appropriate technology depends on the age and appearance of the marks, your skin type, and the treatment area.
Stretch marks can vary significantly in color, depth, and texture. Depending on your concerns, our providers may recommend a series of treatments or a combination of approaches to help improve their appearance while supporting overall skin health.
Not all stretch marks are alike. Our providers consider their age, appearance, location, and your skin characteristics before recommending treatment, recognizing that different concerns may require different approaches.
From microneedling to energy-based treatments, we consider which options may be appropriate for your skin and goals. Our approach prioritizes thoughtful treatment selection rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.
Stretch marks are a normal part of life, and treating them is a personal choice. Our Dream Team prioritizes honest conversations, patient education, and realistic expectations so you can make decisions that feel right for you.
Stretch marks are a form of scarring, so complete removal is not always possible. Certain treatments may help improve their appearance, texture, and visibility, but results vary depending on the type of stretch marks and individual skin characteristics.
Newer and older stretch marks have different characteristics and may respond differently to treatment. Your provider will evaluate their color, texture, and maturity to determine which options may be appropriate.
Yes, certain treatments may help improve the appearance of stretch marks that develop during pregnancy. Treatment timing and suitability depend on factors such as whether you’re currently pregnant or breastfeeding, your skin health, and the procedure being considered.
Stretch mark treatments often require multiple sessions, with improvements developing gradually as the skin remodels. The recommended number of treatments depends on the treatment selected, the characteristics of your stretch marks, and your individual response.
Every body changes, and every person’s relationship with their skin is different. Whether you’re interested in improving the appearance of newer stretch marks or addressing changes that have been present for years, our Dream Team is here to help you explore your options with expertise, compassion, and personalized care.
