Sit back, relax and read on to find out more.<\/p>\n<h2><b>What Are Stretch Marks?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most common questions that we get asked by clients is what exactly stretch marks are and what purpose they serve the skin and body. To put it simply, stretch marks are scars that happen when your skin rapidly stretches or shrinks. They typically show up as bands of lines running across your skin and may start off pinkish or red purple, fading into white or silver over time. Skin is usually fairly stretchy, but when overstretched, the normal production of collagen is disrupted. As a result, your skin can develop stretch marks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is important to note that stretch marks aren&#8217;t painful or harmful, although some people may not like the way they make their skin look.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9100 aligncenter\" style=\"font-size: 16px;\" src=\"https:\/\/victoriancosmetic.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Image-6-4-22-at-11.59-am-3-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/victoriancosmetic.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Image-6-4-22-at-11.59-am-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/victoriancosmetic.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Image-6-4-22-at-11.59-am-3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/victoriancosmetic.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Image-6-4-22-at-11.59-am-3-270x180.jpg 270w, https:\/\/victoriancosmetic.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Image-6-4-22-at-11.59-am-3-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/victoriancosmetic.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Image-6-4-22-at-11.59-am-3.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2><b>So, What Causes Stretch Marks?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhy do I have stretch marks?!\u201d may be a question th<\/span>at comes to mind.

For example, if you have immediate family members who have stretch marks, there is a greater likeliho<\/span>od you will as well. Additionally, those with deeper skin tones (and hence, more melanin in their skin) are often less likely to develop stretch marks. This is because darker skin tends to be more elastic compared to paler skin types, but this doesn&#8217;t mean that stretch marks are completely avoidable.<\/p>\n<p><b>Overall, when it comes to hereditary stretch marks, severity is affected by several factors, including your genetics and the degree of stress on the skin.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>How To Prevent Stretch Marks<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While there may not be a 100% effective or tried-and-tested method to preventing stretch marks entirely, here are some tips that may reduce your likeliness of developing them:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Maintain A Healthy Weight<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most helpful things you can do to prevent stretch marks is to maintain a healthy weight. Maintaining a healthy diet and weight can help prevent significant weight gain or weight loss that may cause your skin to stretch out and lose its elasticity. Working to control body changes from happening too quickly may very well be your best bet to prevent stretch marks from forming.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Eat A Nutrient Rich Diet\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may be more prone to stretch marks if you are deficient in nutrients such as Vitamin c, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Zinc and Protein. As such, eating foods that boost skin health is always advised. Be sure to include a variety of different fresh fruit and vegetables into your diet, along with lean sources of protein and healthy fats.\u00a0<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Keep Moisturised<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moisturising your skin with a high quality moisturiser regularly may help prevent stretch marks. Although there are no creams or oils proven to prevent stretch marks, keeping the skin supple may be helpful for reducing the risk in some people. Moisturisers are also effective in reducing itching that happens as the skin stretches.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Drink Up!\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ensuring that you are well hydrated is key to maintaining smooth, elastic and supple skin. Soft skin doesn\u2019t tend to develop stretch marks as much as dry skin does, so if that\u2019s not enough motivation to up your daily fluid intake, we don\u2019t know what is! Aim to drink at least 104 ounces for men and 72 ounces for women on a daily basis. Avoid soft drinks, coffee or caffeinated tea that may cause a diuretic effect on the body.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9098 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/victoriancosmetic.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Image-6-4-22-at-11.59-am-1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/victoriancosmetic.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Image-6-4-22-at-11.59-am-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/victoriancosmetic.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Image-6-4-22-at-11.59-am-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/victoriancosmetic.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Image-6-4-22-at-11.59-am-1-270x180.jpg 270w, https:\/\/victoriancosmetic.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Image-6-4-22-at-11.59-am-1-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/victoriancosmetic.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Image-6-4-22-at-11.59-am-1.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><b>How Do I Get Rid of Stretch Marks?\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are like most of us who already have stretch marks, you may be wondering what you can do to get rid of them entirely. Many products and procedures promise to minimise the appearance of stretch marks, or even make them disappear completely. To date, however, little evidence supports the effectiveness of these products.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most ideal treatment for stretch marks include those that work on a dermal level to stimulate and remodel the damaged and stretched collagen and reduce the appearance of colour. Such treatments include:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Skin Needling<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/victoriancosmetic.com.au\/skin-treatments\/skin-needling\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Skin Needling<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a non-invasive procedure that creates microscopic channels into the skin. This stimulates the wound healing response, triggering the production of new collagen and elastin fibres to correct and re-build the skin\u2019s structure without harming the surface layers of the skin. For those with stretch marks, this improves the depth and size of the Striae by remodelling and reshaping the damaged tissue, as well as repairing and reducing the stretch marks colour.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Laser Toning<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Laser Toning Treatment utilises Q-switch laser technology. The rapid speed of the laser combined with a high repetition rate causes vibration in the skin which helps stimulate collagen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>LILT<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/victoriancosmetic.com.au\/low-intensity-laser-therapy-faq\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Low Intensity Laser Therapy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (LILT) utilises 3B cold laser technology, which stimulates cell production by emitting various light wavelengths, triggering a variety of healing, regenerating, stimulating and corrective responses that can stabilise and normalise skin function with no heat, discomfort or downtime. For Stretch Marks, LILT works to stimulate the natural healing response, promote rapid scar tissue repair, collagen production and renewal, resulting in stretch mark reduction and removal.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What you can do to support your in-clinic treatments at home<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>In addition to all the in-clinic treatments we can perform to reduce the appearance of stretch marks, the use of a home roller and a retinol will further enhance your results.
