@russwong.md: Stretch marks are streaks on the body that develop when the collagen in our skin ruptures, this typically happens when the skin stretches very quickly. This can occur during pregnancy, weight gain, and growth spurts. While there is no way to get rid of them completely, there are treatments to minimize their appearance. Some treatment options your dermatologist may suggest to decrease the visibility of stretch marks are: -V beam laser: best done early when they are red/purple in color -Retinoid Creams (safe to use after pregnancy) -Radiofrequency Microneedling #Dermatologist #Skintok #Doctor #Stretchmarks
