Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT ARE STRETCH MARKS?
Stretch marks or ‘striae’ affect 95% of men and women. In women, these marks predominantly occur during puberty or pregnancy. Stretch maths or striae are linear scars, or tears in the skin, arising from rapid stretching of the skin over vulnerable areas.

Both treatments reduce the appearance of stretch marks by stimulating collagen production to remodel the underlying structures of the skin.

HOW DOES STRETCH MARK TREATMENT WORK?
Skin needling involve micro needling to the skin to encourage the collagen producing cells to produce more collagen.
The fractional resurfacing involves fractional delivery of RF energy, causing micro-epidermal ablative injuries. This initiates a strong wound healing response in the dermal matrix, while also minimizing the damage to the epidermis.
The end result is diminished depth, texture and colour of stretch marks.

Most people find stretch mark treatment tolerable. Others may wish to use a numbing cream to make the treatment more comfortable.

WHAT ARE THE SIDE EFFECTS ASSOCIATED WITH STRETCH MARK TREATMENTS?
To treat stretch marks we need to wound the skin in a controlled manner, either with skin needling or fractional resurfacing. Side effects from stretch mark removal treatment using skin needling or fractional resurfacing is not common.
After the treatment, your skin will be warm, red and may be swollen. This is because the skin needling or fractional resurfacing has penetrated the skin and caused microscopic wounds to stimulate the skin to heal. A few days after the treatment, your skin may start to feel itchy.
At Dermedica, we will take the utmost care to minimise any potential side effects. Your recovery period will be closely monitored by Dr Teh.
