Stretch Mark Concerns.
What are Stretch Marks?
Stretch marks are a common skin condition. Typically found on the abdomen, breasts, hips, thighs, and buttocks, they can also appear on the upper arms or other parts of the body. Primary causes include:
Skin Stretching and Growth: common reasons include pregnancy, puberty growth spurts, sudden weight gain or loss, and muscle building.
Hormonal Influences: during pregnancy, the surge in hormones causes a softening effect on the skin's connective tissues, making it more susceptible to stretching and leaving behind marks.
Genetic Predisposition: While stretch marks can affect anyone, it's important to recognize that our genetics play a significant role in their onset.
Lifestyle Choices: Factors such as excessive sun exposure, inadequate hydration, and poor nutrition can weaken the skin's structure, making it more vulnerable to the formation of stretch marks.
Treatments available.
At Salon Beautec, we understand that stretch marks can be a source of frustration and self-consciousness. However, we have various targeted treatments available to help minimize the appearance of stretch marks and promote smoother, more even skin texture.
LED Phototherapy: LED light can promote collagen production and stimulate the skin's natural healing process.
Microneedling: using a device with small needles to create controlled micro-wounds on the skin's surface, stimulating collagen and elastin production
Topical Treatments: In addition to in-salon treatments, we offer a range of topical skincare products that can be used at home
