Stretch Marks

Be wary of anyone promising removal. Stretch marks are scars in the dermis; treatment can genuinely improve their texture and colour, and newer red or purple marks respond better than old white ones.

This page describes what is common, not what is true of you. Only an examination can say which of these applies.

What a doctor may consider

Which of these suits you — and whether any of them is needed at all — is decided at the consultation, not from this page.

Microneedling with DermapenPrompts remodelling in the scarred dermis; a course, not a single session.MNRF TreatmentRadiofrequency at depth, considered for textured marks.

What the consultation settles

The consultation should tell you plainly how much improvement is realistic for the age and colour of your marks. Newer marks do better, and that window is worth knowing about.

Questions patients ask about stretch marks

Can stretch marks be removed completely?

No. They can be made significantly less noticeable in texture and colour. We would rather tell you that before you book than after.

Do older white marks respond?

Less than newer red or purple ones, but they are not untreatable. The doctor will set expectations based on what your marks actually look like.

Do creams and oils work?

They help skin comfort and may support prevention during stretching. There is little evidence that they meaningfully change established marks.
