Stretch Marks Removal

Ever bought a cream that claims to be a stretch mark remover?

Chances are you have spent hundreds on creams to remove stretch marks over your life to date.

At Laser By Sia, we are always upfront and honest with our clients, and the fact of it is: complete stretch mark removal is impossible.

And this is why: Like a deep scar, a stretch mark is a wound or tear to the dermis – the supporting tissue structure of our skin. Once the dermis is torn, it can’t be fixed.

The good news, however, is the appearance of stretch marks can be significantly reduced until they are almost invisible.

For advice on stretch marks, their removal and prevention, contact the experts in skin care, Laser By Sia.

How to ‘remove’ stretch marks

While removing stretch marks completely is impossible, they can be significantly improved.

Stretch marks, or striae, are caused by the tearing of the connective tissue in the dermis during rapid stretching of the skin, like during puberty, pregnancy or weight gain.

It is this tearing of the dermis that makes the removal of stretch marks impossible. However, if collagen production in the dermis is stimulated, stretch marks can lose their deep red colour and become almost unnoticeable.

But don’t be fooled, no average over the counter cream can be used for stretch mark removal, as these creams just don’t penetrate deep enough to reach the dermis.

Instead, try Gernetic’s Anti-Stries, a medical grade skin care cream.

The natural ingredients in Anti-Stries enable your skin to more effectively synthesise collagen and elastin, to reduce redness. Over time, your red stretch marks will begin to fade, until they appear lighter, making them all but invisible. They will still be there, but they will be less noticeable!
