Stretch marks are scars caused by to quick expansion or contraction of skin. These scars might appear in the form of white or silver streaks line. These scars more commonly occur in individuals who have undergone bodybuilding, weight gain/loss, or pregnancy. Moreover, these stretch marks are also area-specific; they are mainly seen near the stomach, hips, arms, thighs, breasts, upper arms, and lower back. Though stretch marks are harmless they can make you self-conscious, making you unable to wear your summer clothes. Luckily, stretch marks treatment in Delhi at an advanced skin clinic remains the most effective and go-to location. Some trendy yet effective treatments for stretch marks include chemical peel, laser resurfacing, dermabrasion, microneedling, and tretinoin. In this blog, we will explore these treatment options in detail:-

1. Laser Resurfacing
   
   Since the stretch marks or scars are uneven in texture, they can be corrected using a laser resurfacing technique. This treatment option includes a laser light that focuses on the stretch marks and penetrates deeper into the layers of the skin. The laser then stimulates collagen and elastin production, ensuring smooth textured skin. The results from the treatment can also last for a very long time.

2. Chemical Peel
   
   Chemical peels are one of the most commonly used in aesthetic procedures by exfoliating the topmost layer of the skin. In this case of treating stretch marks, the working mechanisms remain the same. However, this treatment should be applied by your consultant dermatologist only. This is because chemical peels are known to increase skin sensitivity. Thus, undersupervised applications may burn or irritate your skin.

3. Microneedling
   
   As the name suggests, micro-needling; the procedure involves making micro-injuries using a microneedle. These microinjuries done to your skin stimulate collagen production, which again helps produce collagen and elastin. Eventually, collagen and elastin cater to the formation of new skin, followed by radiant and glowing skin. 

4. Tretinoin
   
   Tretinoin is a topical medication, a derivative of vitamin A. The medication is marketed in the form of cream or gel. This is well-known for its collagen-stimulating properties. Thus, it is considered an effective, safe, and non-invasive treatment of stretch marks. 

5. Dermabrasion
   
   Dermabrasion is a technique that works on the principle of sanding off the top layer of the skin. The treatment includes a rotating device that slowly exfoliates the top layers and promotes collagen production.
