About Stretch Mark Removal

Stretch marks are scarred skin tissue that commonly appear on the thighs, abdomen, hips, calves, chest, and buttocks. While they primarily affect women, anyone can develop them. Newer stretch marks tend to be pink, while older ones appear white and more textured. Though permanent, stretch marks can be improved through professional stretch mark treatment. At Vitalize Skin Clinic, our stretch mark removal and treatment options—such as microneedling and chemical peels—help remodel scarred tissue and stimulate collagen and elastin production. With multiple sessions, our clients achieve noticeable stretch mark reduction and smoother, more even skin.

What Causes Stretch Marks?

Rapid Growth or Weight Changes
When the skin stretches faster than it can keep up—like during puberty, pregnancy, or quick weight gain—tiny tears form deep beneath the surface. These tears heal into visible lines we call stretch marks.
Shifts in hormones, especially spikes in cortisol, can weaken the skin’s natural elasticity. When the skin loses its bounce, it’s more likely to scar under pressure.
Some people are just more prone to stretch marks because of their genes. If your parents had them, chances are your skin might react the same way to changes.
Building muscle quickly, especially through intense strength training, can stretch the skin faster than it can adapt. Even though the growth is healthy, the skin sometimes leaves behind those familiar streaks.
