Condition Overview
Stretch marks are narrow streaks or lines that occur on the surface of the skin. They may be red or purple in appearance to start with, before gradually fading to a silvery-white colour. Stretch marks can occur anywhere where the skin has been stretched, but they usually affect areas where fat is stored, such as the stomach, breasts, upper arms, buttocks and thighs.
FAQ
What treatment do you recommend for stretch marks?
To reduce the appearance of stretch marks, we recommend micro-needling. Microneedling leaves the epidermis intact. The micro injuries caused by sterile, fine, surgical needles, triggers a complex cascade of wound healing depositing new improved collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid providing firmer and more elastic skin. This in turn causes stretch marks to fade.
Will my skin be tightened?
Your skin may feel more elastic and firm however this is not a skin tightening procedure. Please ask our experts on the range of treatments available for skin tightening if this is what you require.

Great and relaxed service, she’s very skilled on what she does.”

“What can I say? You have been so welcoming and warm towards patient care. You are such an amazing person. I absolutely love the enhancement!! You break the stereotype of the ‘plastic look’. I had anti-wrinkle injections and filler done. Pain – minimal. I absolutely love it! When I apply my make up, it is so natural, people can’t even tell the difference. I am super excited for Dr Nishi’s new clinic in Sunningdale.”
