What It Treats
Stretch marks may occur on various body parts, commonly on the abdomen, thighs, hips, breasts, and arms. Types of stretch marks include:
Red or Purple Stretch Marks: Often associated with recent or rapidly forming stretch marks.
White or Silver Stretch Marks: Older, more established stretch marks that have faded over time.
While stretch marks don't pose a medical risk, a lot of people seek treatment to improve their appearance.
Understanding Stretch Marks
Stretch marks form when the skin stretches too quickly, causing the collagen and elastin fibers to break down. As the skin heals, the marks can appear reddish, purple, or silvery streaks. Though they are more common in women, men can also develop stretch marks, especially after rapid weight gain, intense exercise, or certain hormonal changes.
Factors that contribute to stretch mark formation include:
- Genetics: Family history can play a role in the likelihood of developing stretch marks.
- Hormonal Changes: Changes in hormones, such as during pregnancy or puberty, can weaken the skin’s elasticity.
- Rapid Weight Gain or Loss: This can stretch the skin quickly, leading to the formation of marks.

Our Comprehensive Approach to Stretch Mark Treatment in Arlington
At Dermestetics, we offer a range of effective, non-invasive treatments to minimize the appearance of stretch marks. We will evaluate your skin and discuss your goals to create a personalized treatment plan.
What does the treatment involve?
- Laser Therapy: Non-invasive laser treatments stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture, helping stretch marks fade.
- Microneedling: Tiny needles are used to encourage the production of collagen and elastin, which helps reduce the visibility of stretch marks.
- Chemical Peels: These peels exfoliate the skin’s surface, encouraging the regeneration of healthy skin cells and enhancing skin appearance.
- Topical Treatments: Specialized creams or oils may be recommended to hydrate and repair the skin, reducing the appearance of stretch marks over time.
How long will the treatment take?
Treatment sessions vary depending on the severity and type of stretch marks you have. Most patients see improvement within a few sessions, with optimal results appearing after several weeks of consistent treatment.
