Skin — Broadway Retreat
Stretch Marks
Stretch marks appear when skin is stretched faster than it can adapt — in pregnancy, in adolescence, with changes in weight. Treatment can significantly improve how they look.
The Treatment
What it is, and why it helps.
Stretch marks — striae — form when skin stretches quickly and its collagen tears: through pregnancy, adolescent growth spurts, changes in hormones or rapid changes in weight. They affect men and women in equal numbers.
Women tend to find them on the stomach, breasts, buttocks and thighs; men more often on the back, buttocks and thighs.
At your consultation we assess what has contributed to your marks and recommend the course of treatment that will best improve how they look.
