Are stretch marks troubling you? Visit now at Neya Dermatology & Aesthetics Clinic to get effective stretch marks treatment in Hyderabad, Jubilee Hills provided by the best dermatologist, Dr. Ravali Yalamanchili.

Stretch marks, also referred to as striae distensae, are the streaks on the skin formed in the body sites subject to continuous skin stretching. They have different textures and colors as compared to the surrounding rest of the skin. Typically, newly formed stretch marks appear pink, red, or purple colored, which fades over time. As they become mature or old, they appear whitish-grey.

Most commonly, stretch marks appear on the abdomen, thighs, hips, buttocks, chest, or arms. They are not serious or painful medical concerns but rather aesthetic skin problems that most people are frustrated or embarrassed to live with and wish to get removed. Women have higher chances of having stretch marks than men.

What causes stretch marks?

Causes of Stretch Marks

  • Pregnancy- hormonal and weight related
  • Puberty- growth spurt and hormones
  • Sudden weight gain or loss
  • Genetics- present in another family members like parents or grandparents
  • Certain topical steroids or tablets


Stretch marks are formed when the skin is stretched beyond its elasticity over a short period, after which it cannot return to its original state. The rapid skin stretching leads to:

  • Tearing in the skin dermis (the skin layer underneath the outer skin layer-epidermis), causing dermal scarring
  • Swelling and inflammation in the skin resulting in pink, purple, or red streaks
  • Thinning of the overlying skin allows easy visualization of underlying dermal skin scars
  • A gradual breakdown of collagen and elastin fibers supports networks that provide the skin with strength and elasticity and worsen the appearance of stretch marks.


Stretch marks are often seen in women post-pregnancy; in bodybuilders, sportspeople, or gym trainers who have been doing muscle workouts; in those who have been experiencing rapid weight gain or loss, or in adolescent males or females hit by growth spurts.

The definite cause of stretch marks is still under research. However, it is thought to be a result of genetic predisposition, increased cortisol levels, and mechanical shear effects from rapid weight gain or loss. In certain cases, people might get stretch marks because of high levels of steroid hormones resulting from the treatment with steroid medications or illnesses like Cushing’s Disease.

According to Dr. Ravali Yalamanchili, if one is looking for an effective treatment, one must consult a dermatologist who can help by providing them with effective treatments that can reduce all types of old and new stretch marks. One can receive the best stretch marks treatment in Hyderabad at Neya Dermatology & Aesthetics Clinic. 

Types of Stretch Marks

All stretch marks are not alike. They are of various kinds depending on how long they are present on one’s body, what causes them, where they are located, and the skin type one has. Based on their appearance and formation, they are of mainly two kinds:

Types of Stretch Marks Pictures

  • Striae rubrae- Pink/red/purple indented streaks in the skin that are more recently formed. These are classified as the acute stage of stretch marks showing the earliest physical sign of overstretched skin. 
  • Striae albae- White/grey stretch marks that have gradually progressed, in several months or years, from striae rubrae, which means they are old and mature. These represent the chronic stage of the formation of stretch marks. 

 
Other kinds of stretch marks include:

  • Striae caerulea- Dark blue/ purplish stretch marks, also seen in dark-complexioned people
  • Striae gravidarum- Stretch marks caused after pregnancy 
  • Striae nigrae- Dark black or grey stretch marks, usually noticed in dark-skinned individuals
  • Striae atrophicans- Thin skin associated with stretch marks- this may be seen in those having Cushing’s syndrome, those who have undergone surgery, or those who have been using corticosteroids for the long term.

Advanced Procedures to Reduce Stretch Marks

Stretch marks need not trouble one forever. Over time, they often go less noticed with or without treatment. There is no such way to make the stretch marks completely disappear. However, with a personalized multi-modal approach, one can see significant improvements in the appearance of stretch marks, allowing one to be more confident and less self-conscious during their intimate moments, when in swimwear or bikini, and in general everyday life. 

Top Treatment Modalities:

Stretch Marks Treatment in Hyderabad

  • Laser treatment: Fractional lasers reduce stretch marks by directing a laser beam into the skin. Depending on the skin layers they penetrate; these lasers are ablative or non-ablative. Ablative lasers remove the top skin layers, while non-ablative lasers work on the deeper layers without damaging the superficial skin. Increased collagen and elastin production in dermal skin layers reduce the stretch marks. This quick and easy treatment has no downtime and takes 4-6 laser sessions every 4-6 weeks to restore skin firmness, smoothness, and consistency and obtain the best results.
  • HIFU: High Intensive Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is one of the best stretch marks reduction approaches. The procedure involves delivering non-invasive ultrasound energy into the targeted sites. This works on deep-seated skin structural tissues and muscle layers where fibroblasts containing collagen and elastin fibers lie. This ultrasound energy generates low heat levels in the skin of the treatment site. This stimulates the body to create new collagen and allows tissue rejuvenation, thereby reducing stretch marks.
  • Growth Factor Therapy: Growth Factor therapy uses concentrated blood processed and extracted from the autologous blood sample after centrifugation. It contains natural growth factors and essential proteins that hold regenerative properties. In this treatment, a small amount of blood is taken from the patient’s arm, centrifuged further to separate the growth factors, and finally re-injected into the treatment sites of the body. After administering a growth factor solution to the stretch marks, skin regeneration, tissue repair, and collagen remodelling occurs, which helps fade the stretch marks.
  • Radiofrequency: Strong radiofrequency energy, when released into the skin to the level of dermal scarring or stretch marks, can help thermally destroy the scars. This promotes new, healthier skin, hence fading out the stretch marks. The treatment course varies from person to person, having stretch marks. The individuals can expect  results with just one treatment in two weeks as their body builds new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. Within 3-6 months, the full desired results may be visible.
  • Micro Needling: Collagen induction therapy, or microneedling, uses a DermaPen with ultra-fine needles to generate micro-injuries in the skin. This safe, low-level skin damage stimulates the body's natural healing response to produce collagen and elastin. Stretch marks become less noticeable when new tissue grows across the skin. The first month after treatment usually yields benefits. Moreover, results can be seen in 3-12 months. Microneedling combined with radiofrequency heats deeper skin layers for excellent collagen stimulation and skin tightening.
