Stretch marks are skin lesions that damage the Matrix Collagen and Elastin structures due to the impacts of excessive tension. They occur when the skin is not stretched enough to adapt to the change of the body. Stretch marks are commonly found on the skin of the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, breasts. This is a very common expression during pregnancy and in the fast growing period (fat, obesity) in both height and body width.
Stretch marks usually develop in thin and weak skin areas. At first, they are red, reddish purple; then they are white and slightly concave in shade of Crepe paper with straight lines of 1-10 mm wide.
Stretch marks are enlarged in accordance with the aging of each person, and they never removed if they are not treated.
Although stretch marks do not affect the health, they lose the beauty of the body, badly affecting the psychology and quality of life.
TREATMENTS
1. Old treatments:
– CO2 laser, IPL …. or the super-abrasive technique gives insignificant effect, because the elastic fibers of the skin are deep in the lower layer, so it is difficult to reach these fibers with these techniques. If the abrasion is carried out at too deep level, it will hurt the skin, causing dark skin and melasma (PIH).
– Skin transplant replacing damaged skin with plastic surgery brings good results but results in many postoperative complications, so most cosmetic doctors do not use this method.
