A review on stretch marks

Stretch marks are skin striations that usually occur at puberty, during pregnancy, during endocrine diseases such as Cushing's syndrome, during general or local corticosteroid therapy, during weight loss or fast weight gain.

They frequently appear as scars on the breasts, hips, buttocks or stomach in women, and more frequently on the back in men. These marks start as red or purple lines when they are still recent, and usually fade to a pearly white as they mature. Although these lines are not a serious medical problem, they can be a significant aesthetic concern.

The appearance of stretch marks can be significantly reduced with a chemical peel treatment

Chemical peel

The word peeling comes from the English verb "to peel". By exfoliating the skin, the cellular activity of collagen and elastic fibres is stimulated, which increases the elasticity of the tissues, removes pigmented spots and refines the skin texture

The peel consists of applying a chemical agent that will exfoliate the skin. The aim is to regenerate the skin cells in order to improve the appearance and quality of the skin. This technique, as well as laser treatment of stretch marks or microdermabrasion, should only be performed by a specialist.

The chemical peel should only act on the superficial part of the skin known as the epidermis (the other layers being the hypodermis at the bottom and the dermis just in the middle). The lower layers should not be covered. The abrasive action of the acid will stimulate the production of collagen, which will create new skin and fill in / remove stretch marks.

A chemical peel is a type of skin treatment that uses an acid solution to exfoliate the surface layers of the skin. The process removes dead and damaged skin cells and promotes skin regeneration.

This aesthetic technique is commonly used to reduce the appearance of age spots, sun damage, freckles, acne scars and stretch marks.

Retinoic Acid Action

Vitamin A, also known as retinoic acid. This product has an exfoliating action that promotes skin regeneration. This treatment is irritating and can lead to skin dryness. It is necessary to moisturise the skin regularly with a suitable skin care product..

TCA action: Trichloroacetic acid

Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) stimulates the fibroblasts giving more elasticity and tone to the skin. The skin will start to peel significantly on the third day and after 8 to 10 days will be replaced by new skin with fewer stretch marks.
