Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
How can I get rid of stretch marks in a short amount of time? Please suggest something.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern. It seems you have striae distensae or stretch marks, which can result from excessive stretching of the skin or hormonal imbalances like raised serum cortisol. There are various treatments available with varying success rates, but before starting treatment, other causes of striae should be ruled out. For example, if an individual is using exogenous anabolic steroids, stopping their intake may be necessary.
Some of the treatment options include:
CO2 laser (carbon dioxide laser): This can provide skin tightening over the affected area.
Nonablative Nd:YAG (neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet) laser and ER (erbium-doped) glass lasers: These are skin tightening lasers.
Dermaroller and PRP (platelet-rich plasma): This is a non-laser procedure where platelet-rich plasma is injected into the stretch mark to induce skin tightening.
The success rate of these treatments can range from no improvement to 50 percent improvement. To undergo any of these treatments, you will need to visit a dermatologist.
Thanks and regards.
