Also known as striae, stretch marks are long and narrow streaks that develop on the skin. At Lake Jackson ENT & Med Spa, we understand that stretch marks can cause self-consciousness and frustration—which is why we offer state-of-the-art treatments to help you enjoy smoother skin.
Causes of Stretch Marks
Stretch marks occur when the skin is stretched quickly due to rapid growth or changes in the body, which causes the middle layer of the skin, known as the dermis, to tear. This tearing allows the deeper layers of the skin to become visible, creating the characteristic appearance of stretch marks.
Common causes include:
- Pregnancy
- Rapid weight gain or loss
- Puberty
- Muscle-building activities
- Genetics
- Hormonal fluctuations
Secret™ PRO for Stretch Mark Reduction
Secret™ PRO combines microneedling and radiofrequency energy to target stretch marks and improve skin texture. By delivering heat deep into the layers of the skin, this treatment stimulates collagen production, tightening and smoothing the targeted areas.
Key benefits of Secret PRO include:
- Tailored treatments for stretch marks of varying depth and severity
- Tightens skin while improving tone and texture
- Minimal discomfort and quick recovery time
1540 Laser for Stretch Mark Reduction
The 1540 fractional laser is designed to target stretch mark discoloration and texture by promoting the body’s natural healing process. It uses powerful light waves to gently resurface the skin without damaging the surrounding area, resulting in a smoother and more even skin appearance.
Key benefits of 1540 laser therapy include:
- Effective for all skin types and tones
- Reduces redness and discoloration of stretch marks
- Non-invasive with little to no downtime
