Overview
Stretch marks (striae) are a form of scarring. “Removal” in the source name does not mean the skin always returns to its earlier appearance.
What concerns it may be used for
It may be discussed for selected striae. Newer and older marks behave differently.
How it generally works
Options may include energy devices, needling or other clinic methods. The source does not name the method.
Who may be considered
People considering this service need an in-person or clinic assessment. Medical history, medicines, skin type and the specific concern all affect whether it is appropriate.
Safety and clinical assessment
Complete removal is often not realistic. Texture and colour change, if any, vary. Cosmetic procedures carry risks. A consultation should cover indications, risks, benefits, alternatives, realistic expectations, recovery and cost. Suitability, treatment parameters and expected outcomes vary by skin type, concern and clinical assessment. Individual results vary.
