Stretch marks are fissures of the subcutaneous tissue which give rise to linear depressions of the skin. In brief, they are dermal lesions due to the skin having been stretched. The causes may stem from physiological conditions (puberty, pregnancy, growth, genetics), and/or pathological states (corticosteroid treatment, certain illnesses or adrenal tumors, increased cortisol, etc.)PEELINGSome superficial or moderate peeling can improve the appearance of more recent stretch marks.CARBOXYTHERAPYThe regenerative effect and increased vascularization of carbon dioxide injected intradermally, directly into the area affected by stretch marks, can have beneficial effects on the damaged tissue. Let us not forget that stretch marks are nothing more than scars, and as such benefit from the regenerative effects of carboxytherapy treatment.PLATELET-RICH PLASMAThe supply of natural growth factors to the lesioned areas by the body itself can bring about regeneration of the damaged skin. By drawing the patient's own blood, we harvest autologous platelet-rich plasma using centrifugation. These platelets will be activated before injecting them into the area we want to treat. Platelet activation will cause the multiple growth factors contained in platelets to begin a regenerative process, healing the skin tissues damaged by stretch marks.
