Where Are We With Stretch Mark Treatments?
Striae distensae (SD), otherwise known as stretch marks, are dermal scars with epidermal (outer skin) atrophy (thinning) and pose a common source of cosmetic concern.
To date, no single treatment regimen appears to be effective for removing stretch marks, but some topical and device treatments have proven to be partially effective.
Topical treatments:
Topical tretinoin (0.01%) has been shown to improve the appearance of stretch marks during their early stage when they're usually still reddish, but show little to no effect once they've become white.
Trifolastin, containing the active ingredient,
centella asiatica, was shown in a study to help prevent the development of stretch marks.
Lasers & Devices:
Multiple lasers and devices have been shown to increase the skin's collagen & elasticity, and therefore are probably helpful with stretch marks, altho side-by-side comparisons haven't yet been done.
Fractionated ablative lasers like our
Profractional, work by replacing up to 20% of treated scars, with new, soft, normal skin.
IPL treatments reduce the redness seen with early stretch marks and with a series of treatments, increase collagen in stretch marks of any age.
Treatments with the 1064-nm long-pulse Nd:YAG laser, such as the Laser Genesis treatment with our Cutera XEO laser, increases collagen while decreasing redness. The long 1064 nm wavelength makes it safe even on the darkest skin and there's no downtime. Laser Genesis treatments also improve not only stretch marks but pore size, fine lines, and skin texture.
Radiofrequency treatments induce the growth of collagen and elastin, which gives the its skin elasticity, or bounce-back properties.
At least one treatment series of any of the above treatments is usually needed to see significant improvement in stretch marks, but thankfully multiple treatments at Skinspirations can produce improvement in what until now was a frustratingly permanent problem.

Surprising Cosmetic Medical Trends Among Millennials
With millennials publishing so many photos of themselves on social media, it's not surprising that their generation shows an unprecedented willingness to have cosmetic treatments.
A recent large-scale survey about millennials' opinions on cosmetic procedures revealed that almost 40% of them have either had or plan to have a cosmetic treatment in the next 12 months.
Even more surprising is that > 50% don't trust social media sources and only 10% trust celebrity endorsements when choosing their cosmetic providers. Not surprisingly, 75% said they trusted their friends and physicians when making choices about where they'd have treatments.
The most important factors that influenced what was important to the survey respondents in choosing cosmetic providers in the survey were provider credentials (90%) followed by ratings & reviews (84%).
