Stretch marks are very common. Stretch marks are scar-resembling streaks that appear in overstretched skin. They tend to develop during the growth spurt in adolescence, in pregnancy when abdomen is expanding or due to rapid weight gain. They’re harmless and often get less visible over time. While the skin’s fibres allow for growth, the dermis is not prepared to withstand abrupt changes in body mass. Consequently, this over-stretching forces the dermis’ fibres to break and the blood vessels contained in deeper skin tissue to show through, creating the condition’s distinguishing streaks and lines.

How long does hair removal treatment take?
Treatment times will vary depending on your specific needs. Hair growth is reduced after each hair loss treatment and the various factors that will dictate the length of your treatment time includes hair colour, hair type, body area and skin tone. We will discuss everything with you in a consultation before treatment begins.
