Stretch marks are visible dermal alterations in the form of lines or scars that appear when the skin is stretched suddenly and rapidly, exceeding its natural elasticity.
This process causes the rupture of collagen and elastin fibres, which are responsible for keeping the skin firm, smooth, and flexible.
These marks usually appear as reddish or purplish lines in their early stages (recent stretch marks), and tend to become whitish or pearly over time (old stretch marks), indicating reduced vascular activity in the area.
• Hormonal changes, such as those occurring during puberty, pregnancy or menopause.
• Rapid weight gain or loss.
• Accelerated growth during adolescence.
• Prolonged use of topical or oral corticosteroids.
• Genetic factors or individual predisposition.
• Intense physical training with rapid muscle gain.
The areas most commonly affected are the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, breasts, arms, and hips, although they can appear anywhere on the body.
Although stretch marks are not a medical concern, they are often an aesthetic issue for many people, as they affect the texture, uniformity, and appearance of the skin.
At Clínica Áureo, we offer advanced medical-aesthetic treatments to improve their appearance, stimulate skin regeneration, and restore the skin's firmness and uniformity.
PRP uses the regenerative and healing properties of platelets derived from the patient's own blood. After a simple blood extraction, the platelets are isolated and injected into the affected area, releasing growth factors that activate dermal regeneration and improve the quality of skin damaged by stretch marks.

Microneedling is a minimally invasive technique that uses micro-needles to create controlled micro-lesions, stimulating the natural healing process. This enhances collagen and elastin production, improving the texture and appearance of stretch marks. It also boosts the absorption of active ingredients applied during treatment. Read more
Carboxytherapy involves the subcutaneous injection of carbon dioxide (CO₂), which improves blood circulation and tissue regeneration. This treatment helps restore skin elasticity and reduce the visibility of stretch marks by stimulating collagen and elastin formation. Read more
EMTONE is a non-invasive advanced treatment that combines acoustic shock waves and radiofrequency to combat cellulite and improve skin firmness. This innovative technology also addresses skin laxity and improves skin texture without surgery or downtime. Read more
