Stretch marks are incredibly common, yet they’re often misunderstood. Whether due to pregnancy, quick shifts in weight, hormonal changes, or genetics, skin can develop these streaks anywhere. They’re harmless, but many seek stretch mark removal because the marks can dent confidence, especially when they’re deeper or more noticeable.
In Gurgaon, as more people have shifted to leading active lives and caring about appearance, the demand for professional stretch mark treatments has grown than ever before.
At Estique Clinic, dermatologist Dr. Neha Sharma leads a team that uses advanced, safe methods to lessen stretch marks and improve the skin’s texture.
This blog covers everything—from what causes stretch marks to treatment options, costs, and prevention tips—so you can decide what’s best for your skin.
What causes stretch marks?
Before treatment, it helps to know why the stretch marks are caused. They appear when the skin is stretched rapidly, tearing the deeper dermal layer. This leaves them with thin, scar-like lines on the surface.
Common stretch marks causes include:
Pregnancy was one of the most common causes.
Rapid weight gain or loss
Mainly, puberty growth spurts
Hormonal changes
Bodybuilding and muscle growth
Corticosteroid medications
Genetic Factors
Pregnant women often get stretch marks around the abdomen, thighs, breasts, and hips as the skin expands quickly.
Types of Stretch Marks
Marks look different depending on their age. Identifying the type of stretch mark helps guide treatment.
Red Stretch Marks (Striae Rubra)
Fresh and inflamed, they’re red, pink, or purple with visible blood vessels. They respond well to stretch marks treatment since they’re in an early healing phase.
White Stretch Marks - Striae Alba
Older and paler—white, silver, or skin-colored. They’re deeper and usually need more advanced therapies like laser options or MNRF.
Stretch Mark Removal Treatments at Estique Clinic
Stretch marks reatments are personalized by skin type, mark severity, and cause. Here are the main options that are used for professional stretch mark removal of stretch marks:
Laser Removal of Stretch Marks
A modern-day, top choice for old and newly formed stretch marks. Fractional lasers stimulate collagen. This repairs and fades marks, while also tightening skin and improving texture.
Benefits of this stretch marks treatment include:
safety across skin types
effectiveness on red and white marks
deep-targeted repair
long-lasting results
minimal downtime.
Laser Therapy for Stretch Marks-Fractional CO₂ / Erbium
Ideal for stubborn or deep marks. Precise micro-injuries trigger strong collagen remodeling, smoothing texture and reducing color contrast. Great for thick, deep marks on the abdomen, thighs, arms, and hips.
Microneedling Radiofrequency (MNRF)
Tiny needles plus radiofrequency deliver controlled heat to fade marks, tighten skin, and boost collagen. Suitable for purple or older marks with minimal downtime.
Chemical Peels
Mild to moderate peels exfoliate the surface and encourage new skin growth, brightening marks and improving texture—particularly in earlier stages.
PRP Treatment (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
Uses your blood’s growth factors to rejuvenate the skin, enhance healing, and boost collagen. Works well alongside lasers.
