Stretch marks are ugly streaks and stripes on the skin caused by distension of the skin from obesity or stretches on the skin during pregnancy. However, these are now curable with the latest laser treatments in Singapore. Here's what this country has to offer.
Most women find stretch marks on the skin of their lower abdomen after pregnancy. However, with the latest laser treatments, one can remove hideous stretch marks with ease. Novaplus 3R IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) combined with IR (Infrared) and Photobiomodulation, Maximus TrilLipo MED which combine TriLipo Radio Frequency (RF), TriLipo Dynamic Muscle Activation (DMA) and TriFractional RF technologies, tropical stretch marks creams and chemical peels are a few to name.

Stretchmarks occur due to stretching of the dermis part of the skin resulting in breaking of the connective fibers, microscopic bleeding, and tissue inflammation. However, natural healing occurs immediately, leaving stretch marks behind. These stretch marks are often reddish or purplish in color initially and become silver or white in appearance later. To understand the issues related to stretch marks, let's have a look at the common causes of this problem as listed below-
1. Pregnancy:
According to a survey conducted by a school of gynecologists in Singapore, almost six out of ten pregnant women develop stretch marks by the end of their pregnancies. However, using medicated oils and creams in the initial stage of pregnancy can help you avoid development of stretch marks to a great extent. However, apart from distension of skin due to pregnancy weight gain, hormonal imbalances are the second most important factors causing stretch marks during pregnancy.
2. Weight Gain:
An instant weight gain due to change in lifestyle or any other reason may result in stretch marks on the abdominal area, arms and thighs. Adolescents may notice stretch marks during their growth spurts: a rapid rise in weight and height which usually occurs once in three, six, eight or nine months that too for two to seven days continuously. On the other hand, weightlifters can also develop stretch marks particularly on their arms due to intense muscle building.
3. Medication Use:
Corticosteroid creams, lotions and pills and chronic use of oral or systemic steroids can also cause stretch marks. As, strong medicines also affect hormonal balances of the body which eventually results in the development of stretch marks even before pregnancy and in men. This is why it's always advisable to consult a gynecologist or a renowned physician before consumption of any medicine before, during and after pregnancy.
4. Diseases:
Apart from pregnancy, obesity and wrong medications, stretch marks can also develop due to various genetic disorders including cushing syndrome, adrenal gland diseases, Marfan syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and other hereditary (genetic) disorders.
Novaplus 3R IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) combined with IR (Infrared) & Photobiomodulation is a form of low-level laser therapy used in physical and veterinary treatments to alter low cellular functions.
