Stretch marks (striae) are narrow streaks or bands that form when skin stretches faster than collagen and elastin can keep up, tearing the dermis. They appear pink, red, or purple at first (striae rubrae) and fade to silver or white over time (striae albae).
New stretch marks, still vascular and easier to treat.
Mature, faded stretch marks with reduced pigment.
Pregnancy-related, often on abdomen and breasts.
Thin, depressed stretch marks from steroid use or Cushing’s.
At New Skin YYC, stretch marks treatments are carefully tailored to each client’s skin condition, tolerance, and goals. Treatments are selected to improve results while preserving skin integrity and comfort. Your plan may be adjusted over time as your skin responds and improves.
