Stretch Marks
Stretch marks (or striae) are caused by the skin stretching too rapidly during body growth periods, usually in puberty or pregnancy. Stretch marks are commonly seen on the thighs, belly and breasts. Approximately 80% of all pregnant women have stretch marks.
Stretch marks are caused when rapid growth stretches the skin too fast, resulting in micro skin ruptures transforming into scars. New stretch marks appear like reddish to purple irregular lines and can gradually fade to white or silverish color. Stretch marks are generally permanent.
Although stretch marks do not influence one's health, many patients request treatments to improve their appearance. At The Medical Cellulite Center at La Fontaine, we have many treatment options available, including multiple lasers and the new european technique - The DermaRoller.
Treatment options:
Laser treatments are used to treat the reddish discoloration associated with stretch marks. Often this reddish discoloration is the most noticable aspect of stretch marks and laser treatments can make stretch marks much less noticable.
The DermaRoller is used to treat the scaring of stretch marks. This microneedling technique mechanically breaks up the stretch marks, as well as, stimulating fibroblast proliferation, which increases new normal collagen deposition. This blends in the stretch marks with the surrounding normal skin, thus making them much less noticable. Usually 4 to 6 treatments are needed, with 50 - 70% improvement in the stretch marks appearance.
After applying topical numbing medicine, the virtually painless, treatment takes about 20 minutes. Redness and swelling usually last 2 days, with bruising lasting up to 1 week.

At The Medical Cellulite Center at La Fontaine, we have used multiple treatment methods for stretch marks, including MicroDermabrasion, Fractional laser treatments and Accent Radiofrequency skin tightening. We have found the DermaRoller to be the best treatment option, with the right mix of effectiveness, cost-effectiveness and minimal side effects and minimal pain.

“I have been working with Brandy for 4 weeks, twice a week and have seen dramatic improvement with the reduction of cellullite in my butt, thighs, hips, and arms. As a personal trainer and wellness business owner, I highly recommend these treatments in addition to a specific and consistent fitness routine.” —Julie
