Following pregnancy, or after significant weight gain or loss, actual scars may appear on the skin: stretch marks.
These skin striae are caused by the breakdown of the dermis' elastic fibers, stressed by sudden increases in elasticity, surface tension, and the so-called yo-yo effect. Thighs, breasts, abdomen, buttocks, and hips are the areas of the body most prone to these blemishes: early intervention, when the scarring is just beginning, is obviously the best way to minimize their effects and achieve effective results.
During pregnancy, the overhydration caused by increased hormones makes the skin brighter and more toned, but at the same time it causes great stress to the elastic fibers of the dermis, which are therefore more prone to breakage.
To prevent the onset of stretch marks, or at least limit their incidence, it is possible to implement a prevention strategy, nourishing the dermis of the stomach, breasts, and thighs, with professional products with elasticizing and emollient properties, as well as with natural adjuvants such as sweet almond oil.
Once the skin striations have reached the definitive scarring stage, they can be removed using various aesthetic medicine techniques. Dr. Amato performs treatments for the elimination of red, brown, and white stretch marks, using various methods:
- With laser ( Stellar™ IPL + ResurFX™ )
- Hyaluronic acid injections
- Biorevitalizers
- Trichloroacetic acid peel for breast stretch marks
During a consultation and preliminary examination at the Amato Medical Institute in Naples, we will assess your current situation and determine the appropriate treatment. Additional procedures are available to tone and remove excess skin or fat in specific areas of the body.
