Striae and loose skin
Striae, also known as stretch marks or stretch marks, are line-shaped scars caused by the rapid stretching of the skin. They often occur on the abdomen, legs, buttocks, hips or breasts, such as after pregnancy, rapid growth or weight loss. There can also often be loose skin, especially after losing weight, which can cause sagging and irregular skin texture.
With a professional stretch mark treatment At DokterEs , we improve skin texture and visibly fade stretch marks and scars. We work with advanced techniques such as laser, microneedling or skin boosters To make the skin firmer, smoother and more even.
Benefits of treatment at DokterEs:
- Instant improvement of skin texture and structure,
- Visible reduction of stretch marks and tightening of loose skin
- Long-lasting results with minimal downtime.
How does stretch marks occur?
Striae occur when the skin is stretched over a short period of time and damages the underlying connective tissue. This creates scars, or tears in the connective tissue, which first turn red or purple, and later turn whitish to skin-colored. The skin loses its elasticity in that area.
Hormonal changes also play a role. During puberty, pregnancy or the use of corticosteroids, skin can become more susceptible to tearing, often due to changes in volume in body shapes. There is also a genetic predisposition: if stretch marks run in your family, you are often more likely to develop them as well, even with gradual weight gain.
Common causes of stretch marks and loose skin
There are often several factors involved in the development of stretch marks. Stretch marks often occur during:
- Pregnancy
- Puberty
- Bodybuilding
- Faster weight gain
- After substantial weight loss, often in combination with loose skin
