Stretch marks, also known as striae, are common skin lesions that often result from rapid stretching of the skin, such as during pregnancy, rapid weight gain or loss, and growth spurts. While stretch marks are harmless and do not pose any health risks, some individuals may seek treatment to reduce their appearance or improve skin texture. It's important to note that complete elimination of stretch marks is challenging, and treatments may help minimize their visibility rather than remove them entirely.
PRP therapy involves extracting the patient's blood, separating the platelets, and then injecting the concentrated platelets into the skin to stimulate collagen production.
It's important to manage expectations when seeking stretch mark treatments, as no single method guarantees complete removal. The effectiveness of treatments can vary depending on factors such as the age and color of the stretch marks, skin type, and individual response to the chosen method.
