Aesthetic Procedures
The aim is to reduce the difference in colour and texture, support collagen production and help stretch marks blend more harmoniously with the surrounding skin.
Overview
Stretch marks (striae) are linear skin changes that develop as a result of rapid stretching of the skin and changes in the collagen-elastin structure of the dermis.
They are most often seen after pregnancy, rapid weight gain or loss, growth periods, a rapid increase in muscle mass and hormonal changes. They may appear on the abdomen, hips, thighs, legs, breasts and arms.
The goal of stretch mark treatment is not to eliminate the marks completely, but to reduce the difference in colour and texture, support collagen production and help the marks blend with the surrounding skin.
In addition to rapid stretching of the skin, genetic predisposition, hormonal factors and the structural properties of the skin play a role in their formation.
In the early stage, stretch marks usually appear red, pink or purple (striae rubrae). Over time they may fade to a whiter, atrophic appearance and are then called striae albae.
The colour of the stretch mark and how long it has been present are important in choosing the treatment to be applied.
Appointment
The choice of method and session plan are determined individually during the consultation according to the stage of the stretch marks.

Methods
No single method suits everyone. Depending on the characteristics of the stretch marks, gold needle (microneedling radiofrequency), fractional lasers and mesotherapy may be used alone or in combination.
01
Gold needle (microneedling radiofrequency) works by delivering radiofrequency energy to determined depths of the skin through microneedles.
The controlled micro-injury and thermal effect aim to support collagen and elastin production and stimulate skin remodelling.
It can be included in the treatment plan particularly to reduce the texture and surface irregularity caused by stretch marks.
02
In fractional laser applications, controlled microthermal treatment zones are created in the skin to stimulate healing and remodelling.
The aim is to support collagen production, reduce the depth of stretch marks and give the skin texture a more homogeneous appearance.
The laser system and parameters to be used are determined according to the person's skin type and the characteristics of the stretch marks.
03
In mesotherapy, selected ingredients that support skin quality and renewal processes can be applied to the affected area with numerous small injections.
Mesotherapy can be planned alone or together with gold needle and laser applications depending on the characteristics of the stretch marks.
Areas
The colour of the stretch mark and how long it has been present are important in choosing the treatment to be applied.
No. Newly formed red or purple stretch marks and long-standing white stretch marks have different characteristics.
In new stretch marks, vascular structure and colour change are more prominent, while in older white marks skin atrophy and texture difference come to the fore.
Therefore, the method to be used and the treatment goal may change according to the stage of the stretch mark.
Yes. Treatment can also be applied to long-standing white stretch marks. However, complete disappearance of old marks should not be expected.
With applications that stimulate collagen remodelling, such as gold needle and fractional laser, improvement in the texture and appearance of stretch marks can be targeted.
The number of sessions varies according to the age and depth of the stretch marks, the area involved and the method used.
Usually a treatment course applied at certain intervals is needed rather than a single session. The appropriate number of sessions is determined individually after the examination.
Frequently Asked Questions About Stretch Mark Treatment
The colour, depth and duration of every stretch mark differ. Therefore, when planning treatment, whether the marks are new or old, the skin type, the treatment area and the depth of the marks are evaluated together.
Depending on the person's needs, gold needle, fractional laser and mesotherapy are used alone or in combination to reduce the appearance of stretch marks and support skin quality.
The realistic goal is not to eliminate stretch marks completely but to reduce their visibility and improve skin texture. The result depends on the age and depth of the marks and the individual response to treatment.
Newly formed red-purple stretch marks generally respond better to treatment. However, in older white marks, improving tissue quality and reducing visibility can also be targeted with suitable methods.
Microneedling radiofrequency creates a controlled thermal effect in the dermis to support collagen and elastin production. It can therefore be used among treatments aimed at improving the texture and appearance of stretch marks.
Device and injection procedures for cosmetic purposes are not preferred during pregnancy. It is appropriate to postpone treatment until after pregnancy.
