What should you know about cara hilangkan stretch marks?

Stretch marks, also called striae, are lines that appear when the deeper supporting layers of skin stretch faster than the skin can adapt. They may start pink, red, purple, or darker than surrounding skin and often fade to lighter, silvery lines. Pregnancy, changes in body size, puberty, and muscle growth can all be associated with them. They are not caused by poor hygiene and are not contagious.

Apply a plain moisturiser regularly to reduce dryness and make the surface feel smoother; moisturising does not erase established marks. A dermatologist can match treatment to the mark's colour, age, location, and your skin tone. Options may include Microneedling, Fractional Laser Treatment, RF Microneedling, or Carboxytherapy. These procedures may need a course of sessions and can cause temporary redness or swelling. Avoid self-treating with strong creams, especially during pregnancy or breastfeeding, without medical advice.

Arrange an assessment if marks appear suddenly without an obvious stretch, spread quickly, are accompanied by easy bruising or other symptoms, or follow use of a steroid medicine. A clinician can review medicines and examine the skin before recommending treatment. Seek prompt care for severe pain, blistering, marked swelling, or signs of infection such as increasing warmth and pus.

Ask which option suits the colour and maturity of your marks, how many appointments may be needed, what recovery involves, and how your skin tone affects the risk of temporary darkening or lightening.
