What are Stretch Marks?

Stretch marks are characterized by long, narrow stripes on the skin, and are very common. They may develop from growth spurts, pregnancy, sudden weight gain and loss, and rapid muscle growth. Stretch marks can vary in length, thickness, and location, and the most common areas for them to develop are the breasts, abdomen, thighs, hips, and buttocks. Many individuals who have stretch marks are unhappy with their appearance, but there are options to reduce them.

Bio-enhanced skin therapy

Bio-enhanced skin therapy for stretchmarks is a treatment in which the growth factors from cytokine-rich plasma (CRP) from your own blood are embedded in a natural protein matrix and used to help the skin build from within.

Your blood will be drawn, placed into a centrifuge, and spun so that the CRP can be extracted. Once it’s extracted, we combine the CRP/Matrix with microneedling and injections to create active micro-wounds to activate the growth factors. This enhances collagen production, which results in firmer, smoother skin. Results from bio-enhanced skin therapy may take approximately 1-2 months.
