What they say about us
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions :
Can stretch marks be completely removed?
Unfortunately, there is no guaranteed way to completely eliminate stretch marks. However, various treatments can significantly improve their appearance, making them less noticeable.
What treatments are most effective for stretch marks?
The most effective treatment for your stretch marks will depend on several factors, including their age, colour, and severity. Here’s a general breakdown:
- For newer stretch marks (red or purple): Topical retinoids and microneedling are often recommended as they can help improve texture and colour.
- For older stretch marks (white or silver): Laser treatments and chemical peels may be more effective in stimulating collagen production and reducing visibility.
A consultation with our qualified professional at Yorkshire Skin Centre can help determine the best course of treatment for your specific needs.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatments needed will vary depending on the severity of your stretch marks and the chosen treatment method. Typically, multiple sessions are recommended for optimal results.
Are stretch mark treatments painful?
Most stretch mark treatments are minimally invasive and well-tolerated. Some, like microneedling, may cause mild discomfort, but topical numbing cream can be applied beforehand to minimise any sensation.
Do stretch mark treatments have any side effects?
Potential side effects can vary depending on the treatment. Topical creams may cause mild irritation. Laser treatments and microneedling can cause temporary redness, swelling, or bruising. It’s important to discuss potential side effects with your doctor during your consultation.
How long do the results of stretch mark treatment last?
The results of stretch mark treatments can be long-lasting, especially with proper skincare and maintaining a healthy weight. However, some improvement may fade over time. Consulting with a professional about maintenance treatments can help extend the results.
Can I prevent stretch marks?
While there’s no guaranteed way to prevent stretch marks completely, maintaining a healthy weight, staying hydrated, and using a good moisturiser can help improve skin elasticity and potentially reduce the risk of their formation.
Is it safe to get stretch mark treatments while pregnant?
No, some stretch mark treatments, certain laser treatments, are not recommended during pregnancy. It’s important to consult with your doctor before undergoing any stretch mark treatment while pregnant or breastfeeding.
