A stretch mark is a type of scar that develops when our skin stretches or shrinks quickly. The abrupt change causes the collagen and elastin, which support our skin, to rupture. As the skin heals, stretch marks may appear.<\/p>\n
When stretch marks first appear, they tend to be red, purple, pink, reddish-brown, or dark brown, depending on your skin colour. Early stretch marks may feel slightly raised and can be itchy.<\/p>\n
There are many products on the market which claim to remove or reduce stretch marks topically, although some of these products may temporarily smooth the appearance or slightly lighten the mark, generally there is not much that can be done with topical skincare products alone. Our most effective treatments for cellulite include fraxel laser<\/strong><\/a>, this laser is a fractionated, non-ablative laser that stimulates collagen to regenerate and remodel in the deep tissue.<\/p>\n Superficial skin tightening and toning can also improve the appearance of stretch marks. Radio-frequency<\/strong><\/a> treatments help with fat reduction, tightening, and toning of the skin.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”4.3.2″ custom_padding=”5%||||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”3%||||false|false” custom_padding_phone=””][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ module_class=”tablet-three-cols” _builder_version=”4.3.2″][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.3.2″][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.bodybartoronto.com\/wellness-cosmetic-clinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/AdobeStock_1557621082-e1580924251396-1024×683.jpg” alt=”Woman sitting with one knee raised, revealing her smooth skin.” title_text=”Smooth skin” _builder_version=”4.5.1″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.5.1″ link_text_color=”#000000″ animation_style=”fade” animation_direction=”bottom” hover_enabled=”0″ text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|tablet”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.3.2″][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.bodybartoronto.com\/wellness-cosmetic-clinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/06\/AdobeStock_210687169-1024×729.jpg” _builder_version=”4.3.2″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.5.1″ link_text_color=”#000000″ animation_style=”fade” animation_direction=”bottom” hover_enabled=”0″ text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|tablet”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.3.2″][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.3.2″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.3.2″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.3.2″ text_orientation=”center”]To find out more about which treatments are best for you book a complimentary professional consultation now.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”2″ _builder_version=”4.3.2″ custom_padding=”11px|||||”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.3.2″][et_pb_button button_url=”\/wellness-cosmetic-clinic\/conditions” button_text=”Return to all Conditions” button_alignment=”right” button_alignment_tablet=”center” button_alignment_phone=”” button_alignment_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”4.3.2″][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.3.2″][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/wellnesscosmeticclinicbybodybar.setmore.com\/” url_new_window=”on” button_text=”Book An Appointment Now” button_alignment=”left” button_alignment_tablet=”center” button_alignment_phone=”” button_alignment_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”4.3.2″][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Conditions: Stretch MarksWhat are Stretch Marks?
