Stretch marks are a type of scar caused when skin stretches or shrinks quickly. Treatment can make them less noticeable, but no ethical treatment can promise complete removal.
Stretch mark reduction is a personalized plan based on colour, age, depth, location and skin type. Options may include prescription skincare for selected early marks, microneedling, radiofrequency, laser or a combination approach.
The marks are examined and photographed, and pregnancy, breastfeeding, medicines and keloid history are reviewed. The doctor recommends realistic goals and the safest modality for the patient’s skin tone. Multiple sessions are often required.
Most adults can be assessed, but the ideal treatment differs for new and mature stretch marks. Pregnancy, active infection or a tendency to poor wound healing can limit timing or procedure choice.
A consultation is important because results, session numbers, downtime and suitability vary. Active infection, pregnancy, certain medicines, a tendency to form keloids, or an underlying medical condition may change the recommended plan.
Dr. Manisha's Revive Clinic provides individualized aesthetic and hair-care consultations near Chembur, Tilak Nagar, Kurla and Ghatkopar.

Stretch marks are scars. Treatment aims to improve colour and texture and make them less noticeable, not guarantee erasure.
Early stretch marks may respond differently from mature marks, so early assessment can provide more treatment options.
