There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. At Skin Aesthete, we assess your skin and may recommend laser therapy, microneedling, or chemical peels, depending on your skin type, age of the stretch marks, and desired results.
Rediscover Smooth, Confident Skin at Skin Aesthete Clinic, Belapur
Stretch marks can be frustrating to deal with, especially when you’ve worked hard on your body or are adjusting to beautiful life changes like pregnancy. While they’re completely natural and common, many people seek ways to reduce their appearance and restore smoother, healthier-looking skin. At Skin Aesthete Clinic, we offer personalized stretch mark treatments in Navi Mumbai that blend science, technology, and empathy.
Dr. Sonal Ahuja, a respected dermatologist with over 12 years of clinical and aesthetic experience, offers customized solutions based on your skin type, lifestyle, and the severity of your stretch marks. Whether they’re recent red lines or long-standing silvery streaks, we’re here to help you feel more confident in your skin.
Stretch marks, clinically known as striae, are thin, streaky lines that develop when the skin is stretched too quickly. This rapid expansion causes the middle layer of the skin (dermis) to tear slightly, leading to visible scarring. They're most often seen on the abdomen, hips, thighs, arms, and breasts, but can appear almost anywhere.
Some common causes include:
Pregnancy: Hormonal changes and skin stretching during the later stages of pregnancy.
Rapid weight gain or loss: The skin struggles to keep up with sudden body changes.
Puberty: Quick growth spurts during adolescence.
Steroid use: Topical or systemic corticosteroids can reduce collagen levels in the skin.
Genetic factors: If your parents have stretch marks, you're more likely to get them too.
While stretch marks are medically harmless, they often affect one's self-esteem and body confidence. That’s why many people turn to professional treatments to reduce their appearance.
Understanding your stretch mark type helps in choosing the right treatment plan. At Skin Aesthete, we classify them as:
Striae Rubrae (Red or Pink Stretch Marks)
These are new stretch marks, often reddish or purplish, indicating that blood vessels are still active in the area. They're more responsive to treatment.
Striae Albae (White or Silvery Stretch Marks)
These are older, mature stretch marks, which appear paler and more indented. Though harder to treat than red ones, we use advanced techniques to significantly reduce their appearance.
Striae Gravidarum
These are pregnancy-induced stretch marks, commonly seen on the belly, breasts, and thighs. They may appear during the second or third trimester and vary in severity.
Striae Distensae
This general term applies to stretch marks caused by weight fluctuations, body-building, or hormone changes.
At Skin Aesthete Clinic, we combine medical expertise with cutting-edge technology to offer non-surgical and minimally invasive treatments for stretch marks.
Our most popular solution. Laser treatments work by targeting the affected skin with beams of light, stimulating collagen and elastin production, improving texture and tone. It’s safe, precise, and suitable for all skin tones.
Using fine, medical-grade needles, this technique creates micro-injuries in the skin, prompting natural healing and regeneration. It’s especially effective for older stretch marks and pairs well with serums or PRP (platelet-rich plasma).
We use gentle chemical peels to exfoliate the top layers of skin, allowing newer, healthier skin to emerge. This improves skin smoothness and pigmentation over time.
For mild cases or maintenance, we prescribe clinically approved creams containing retinoids, hyaluronic acid, peptides, and growth factors to support collagen renewal and skin hydration.
Sometimes, the best approach is a combination of treatments based on your skin response. Dr. Ahuja will design a multi-session plan that gives you visible, long-lasting results without damaging the surrounding skin.
While over-the-counter creams may promise miracles, the truth is they’re best used as support, not stand-alone treatments.
At Skin Aesthete, we recommend creams with ingredients like:
Retinoids: Speed up skin cell turnover and reduce the appearance of new marks.
Hyaluronic acid: Plumps the skin and improves elasticity.
Peptides and Vitamin C: Help brighten and strengthen the skin barrier.
Consistency is key; daily use over several months, combined with in-clinic treatments, can help you see real improvement.
Pricing varies based on:
The area being treated (e.g., abdomen, thighs, arms)
The depth and age of the stretch marks
The type of treatment chosen (laser, microneedling, etc.)
