What are stretch marks?

Stretch marks typically appear as red, purple, or brown lines that gradually fade to a lighter, whitish colour.

How are stretch marks treated?
The selected treatment and the expected results depend on the type of stretch marks you have. Generally speaking, Stretch marks are classified into two types in general:
• Striae rubrae: Pink red stretch marks indicate that the stretch marks are in the acute stage.
• Striae albae: White stretch marks indicate that stretch marks are in the chronic stage.
Stretch marks can be treated with stem cells, plasma injections with scarlet technique or with fractional LASER.
