Stretch marks are spindle-like strands of wrinkled skin. They usually appear unexpectedly, causing great discomfort for our well-being. Only sometimes we can observe them during their formation: itching and burning. Stretch mark formation is associated with fibroblast dysfunction, which forms 2 types of proteins: collagen and elastin. Collagen and elastin occur in a fibrous form and form a structured network giving the skin elasticity, firmness and elasticity. Fibers that work properly are more resistant to stretching, impaired lose this property and create such a very unsightly defects on the skin.

The most frequent appearance of stretch marks is associated with a sudden increase in body weight. They take the form of red or white striae and usually occur on the breasts, arms, thighs, buttocks or abdomen. They are perpendicular to the stretching direction of the skin.

The procedure of stretch marks removal in our clinic is performed with Er:Yag Fotona Spectro SP laser. It is the fastest and safest laser on the market. It is equipped with innovative fractionation heads, which allow for safe and minimally invasive treatment.

Stretch marks on the breasts

Some women struggle with stretch marks on their breasts. Pregnancy is most often responsible for their development when breasts become larger than usual. During this time, the adrenals produce excess cortisol - a hormone that reduces the elasticity of collagen fibers, which becomes so weak that it begins to crack, creating stretch marks on the skin. Stretch marks on the breasts can also occur in women who have not had a pregnancy. Genetic predispositions depend on it, first of all. Striae formation is caused by a rapid increase in body weight and lack of movement.
