Stretch marks (striae) form when the skin is stretched rapidly beyond its elastic capacity, causing the collagen and elastin fibres in the dermis to tear. They initially appear as red, purple or pink streaks (striae rubrae) and gradually fade to silver-white (striae albae) over time.
Common causes include rapid growth during puberty, pregnancy, rapid weight gain or loss, and intense muscle building. While newer red stretch marks typically respond better to treatment, significant improvement is achievable for both new and old stretch marks with the right protocols.
When the skin is stretched faster than its collagen and elastin matrix can accommodate, the fibres in the dermis tear. This creates the characteristic streaks we see as stretch marks. The inflammatory response during initial tearing is why new stretch marks appear red or purple, fading to silver as healing progresses.
Any rapid increase in body size including pregnancy, growth spurts and weight gain can outpace the skin's elasticity
Some individuals have naturally less elastic skin and are more prone to stretch mark formation
Prolonged use of topical or systemic corticosteroids reduces skin elasticity and increases stretch mark risk
Cortisol during pregnancy and puberty can reduce skin elasticity, making stretch marks more likely to form
There is no single solution for every skin. Your Skin Specialist builds a bespoke SDL Pathway using the most effective combination of therapies for your specific presentation.
At Sydney Dermal Lounge, we follow a structured four step process across all in-clinic services. Through our four-phase skin methodology, we aim for our processes to be made inclusive of all kinds of skin concerns and goals. Whether it’s a 12-month melasma pigment program, acne correction pathway, rosacea program, or other pathway to skin rejuvenation, we actively provide this methodology.
