Best Treatment for Stretch Marks in London

What are stretch marks? What causess them and how can they be treated? Here is everything you need to know.

Overview

Stretch Marks

The skin possessed remarkable capabilities to stretch and adapt as we need it to throughout our lives, thanks to useful proteins called collagen and elastin that it produces. However, during periods of sudden growth when our skin needs to adapt quickly, often the inner layers of skin cannot keep up with the production of these proteins at the necessary rate, causing a tear and allowing the inner layers to show through. When this occurs, it results in the appearance of stretch marks.

What Causes Your Stretch Marks?

Stretch marks are a common skin condition that can affect anyone. They’re often caused by:

Pregnancy
Weight gain or loss,
Puberty
Bodybuilding

Can Stretch Marks Be Removed?

Based on the cause of your stretch mark, the severity of the stretch mark, and how long you have had it, you will be able to determine whether it is possible to improve its appearance.

Although stretch marks are permanent, treatment may make them less noticeable. If you’ve got them, don’t worry – there are treatments available to help reduce their appearance.

Can you get stretch marks anywhere?

You won’t get stretch marks on your face, hands, or feet, but they can be almost anywhere else. Stretch marks are most likely to show up on your body if you have excess fat in specific areas, like the belly or hips. There’s also a chance that they could appear around other problem zones such as breasts for women who gain weight rapidly and in men with thicker frames who might develop them near their shoulders blade area.

As far as genetics goes – it can be a factor too.

Dr kept me at ease throughout the procedure and made sure I was doing well at all times. I was able to recover without any trouble in the timescale I was given and the result was clear to see. Would highly recommend Dr Hiba Injibar.

Dr Hiba saved me. I need to see someone urgently about a fast growing/change growth under my eye. Dr Hiba took me in on her break. She did a wonderful job on removing the growth at a sensitive area. Stitches out this morning and it is almost invisible. Professional, soft-spoken – could not recommend her enough!

I had nose Surgery with Dr Hiba Injibar. I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the initial consultation, it was apparent that Dr Hiba Injibar has a lot of experience in the procedure which made me feel very secure. She was very clear about what can be done and was also very attentive to my requests. I would not want anyone else to operate me 🙂 I Recommend 100%.

Dr. Hiba removed a dermal piercing for me and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. She was compassionate, kind, caring, and completely honest throughout the entire process. Her professionalism and attention to detail gave me full confidence in her care.

Her team was also outstanding and every staff member I interacted with was warm, supportive, and knowledgeable. The receptionist in particular went out of her way to help me and made the whole experience smooth and stress-free.

Highly recommend Dr. Hiba and her team for anyone looking for expert, considerate care.

We have used Dermasurge for our two children and the level of service from all staff goes above and beyond. They are polite, personable and knowledgeable. The speed of service is also very good. We have used other dermatologists before and can note that the Dermasurge team are far better.

I had several seborrheic keratosis removed and one unusual skin growth excised and biopsied. The procedure was quick, painless and healed well. Dr Hiba and her staff were all friendly and kind and followed up quickly on my questions. I would use this dermatologist again.

Loved my experience with doctor Hiba, I started my treatment to great my skin focused on restoring volume, facial harmonization and preventing aging. It wasn’t painful at all, I’m very excited for the following treatments for my pigmentation and boost collagen, she has so many cutting edge lasers and technology that I can’t wait! ❤️

I’ve been attending Dermasurge for the past 4 months for laser and Botox treatments. The staff are all very professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. An excellent TEAM!
Dr. Hiba is amazing, very professional and approachable. During my initial consultation Dr. Hiba provided clear advice and direction, regarding the treatment I was seeking. I felt supported and listened to. A treatment plan was drawn up and each treatment explained in detail.
My laser treatments were done by Manuela, who has been incredible. A top therapist, professional and so friendly. Thank you Manuela for the high standard of care you gave me!
I highly recommend Dr.Hiba and her team.

Everyone at this clinic is really nice and what I like most about Dr Hiba is that she did not try to sell me something, instead she listened to my concerns and recommended a treatment that had my best interests at heart. And i am very pleased with the results.

I had acne in my twenties. Dr. Hiba did a great consultation and prescribed medication that successfully healed my acne. I feel so much more confident in my skin today and am super grateful for the treatment I received. Also, the whole team at Dermasurge is super lovely. Thank you, Dermasurge!

My teenage daughter attended having suffered with bouts of regular breakouts which caused her significant concern and distress. Dr Hiba took the time to explain what was causing the problem and gave very pragmatic and honest advice about the treatment pathway. Less than a week later the results are already evident and my daughter; who only last week felt very low about her skin now has hope that she doesn’t need to suffer any longer.

Ridwana was also incredibly kind and understanding. She shared her own experiences with my daughter making her feel much more at easy.

The entire clinic has a calming yet professional atmosphere which is exactly how the clinical experience also felt.
