Stretch Marks

Stretch marks, also known as striae, are a common skin condition that affects people of all ages and genders. They are formed when the skin stretches beyond its normal capacity, causing small tears in the underlying layers.

Free, about 40 minutes, in London, Birmingham or Manchester. A written plan and the price before you decide.

This leads to the development of unsightly marks on the skin, which can be red, purple, or white in color. There are several factors that contribute to the formation of stretch marks, including rapid weight gain or loss, growth spurts during puberty, pregnancy, and genetic predisposition. Women who are pregnant or who have recently given birth are especially susceptible to stretch marks, as the skin stretches and changes during this time.

How to Treat Stretch Marks?

Stretch marks can be difficult to treat and often require multiple sessions to see a noticeable improvement. However, there are a few methods that have been proven to help reduce the appearance of stretch marks and improve the overall appearance of the skin. One of the latest treatments available for stretch marks is called Stretchtek. This treatment uses vacuum suction technology to help stimulate collagen in the area and rebuild skin cells. This is a non-invasive treatment that is quick, painless, and effective, making it a popular choice for those looking to get rid of their stretch marks.

Questions people ask before booking

Is the consultation really free?

Yes. About 40 minutes, in person, in London, Birmingham or Manchester. You leave with a written plan and the price. No obligation.

How much will it cost?

It depends on what your skin needs. Your figure is written into your plan at the free consultation, before you decide, and there are flexible instalment options with no interest or admin fees.

How many visits, and how long?

A standard course is three to six visits over six to ten weeks. If there is a date you are working to, count back ten weeks and tell us.

Does it hurt?

Most treatments feel like warmth, tingling or a quick sting rather than pain, and numbing cream is used where it helps. The practitioner tells you exactly what to expect for your treatment before you decide, and you can stop at any point.

How many visits will I need?

It depends on the treatment and on your skin. Many plans are three to six visits over six to ten weeks; some single treatments are one visit. Your written plan says the number before you pay for anything.

When will I see a difference, and how long does it last?

Some treatments show a change within days; those that work by building collagen take six to twelve weeks to show fully. How long results last depends on the treatment, your skin and how well it is protected from the sun. The practitioner gives you a realistic timeline rather than a promise.

What is the downtime?

Anything from none to a few days of redness or peeling, depending on the treatment. Each treatment page says what to expect, and the plan is timed around your diary where it matters, for example before an event.

Is it safe for darker skin?

Darker skin has more active pigment cells and marks more easily, so settings and treatments are chosen for your skin type and some are avoided. Tell us your skin type at the consultation and the plan is built around it.

Who should not have it?

Pregnancy, some medications, active infections and certain medical conditions rule some treatments out. The consultation goes through this with you, and if a treatment is not suitable the practitioner says so and suggests what will work instead.

Can I combine treatments?

Often, and the programmes are built that way. The order matters: active acne is calmed before scarring is treated, for example. The practitioner sets the sequence.
