[Dr. Lee Eu-deuk, Dermatology Specialist]
Hello,
A place that creates a comfortable face,
rather than excessive change.
This is Lee Jiham Dermatology Clinic.
"From now on, this is not something to hide, but something to think about together"
Today, I’d like to talk about stretch mark scars, something many people worry about alone and end up seeking treatment late. There may be people who have felt heavy-hearted because of stretch marks that appeared after childbirth or after a sudden change in body weight.
As summer approaches, or whenever you look in the mirror, we want to share those concerns together. Through this article on stretch mark scar removal in Gangnam, I hope you can get practical information and help. If you’ve only been hiding this concern by yourself, I hope you can now talk about it comfortably.
A beauty consultation that becomes a benefit
I am dermatology specialist 'Lee Eu-deuk.'
A moment when, after hiding it again and again, it was finally time to face it
Not long ago, I met a patient in the consultation room.
She was thirty-five years old,
a mother of two.
She said she had spent more than seven years hiding the stretch mark scars on her abdomen that appeared after giving birth to her first child.
She avoided one-piece swimsuits,
clothes that revealed her stomach,
and even changed clothes with the lights off
in front of her husband.
After her second delivery,
she said the stretch marks had become worse, and now
even looking in the mirror
had become frightening.
From the look in her eyes, I could see that it was not simply a skin issue,
but lost confidence and
a shrinking daily life.

Understanding the signals the skin sends
Stretch mark scars are medically
called 'striae.'
They occur when the skin stretches rapidly,
causing the collagen and
elastin fibers in the dermis
to tear.
It is similar to when a rubber band is pulled hard
and leaves a stretched mark;
the skin also cannot withstand rapid expansion
and becomes damaged.
Stretch marks after childbirth usually appear on the abdomen,
breasts, and inner thighs,
while stretch marks after dieting
appear in areas where body weight has dropped rapidly.
At first they are reddish or purple,
then over time they change to a silvery white,
and they have the characteristic of appearing
depressed compared with the surrounding skin.

Why is mine this severe?
There are many causes
of stretch marks.
Rapid abdominal expansion due to pregnancy,
large weight gain or loss over a short period,
a growth spurt during puberty,
and genetic factors are among the main ones.
In particular, if the amount of collagen and elastin
that maintains skin elasticity is low,
or if the skin is naturally thin,
stretch marks can develop more easily.
Also, hormonal changes during pregnancy can
further weaken skin elasticity
and speed up the appearance of stretch marks.

Now it can be managed
To those who are considering
stretch mark scar removal in Gangnam,
I want to offer hope.
Because stretch mark scars are a complex issue that
is difficult to approach with just one method,
we combine multiple approaches.
Fractional laser creates thousands of tiny openings in the skin,
stimulating the dermis and
inducing collagen synthesis.
Through this, the skin in the stretch mark area
changes, and positive changes
in the depth and color of the scar
can be expected.
In addition, radiofrequency methods
deliver heat energy deep into the skin,
causing collagen remodeling.
They help tighten sagging skin
and improve elasticity,
which can make stretch marks less noticeable.

Positive changes through a gradual process
In the stretch mark scar removal process in Gangnam,
the role of skin boosters is also important.
Skin boosters such as Rejuran or Juvelook
supply nourishment and moisture to damaged skin,
and help improve the skin’s ability
to return to normal.
In particular, stretch mark areas often have thin and dry skin,
so using skin boosters together with laser methods
can have a positive effect on recovery speed.
There is one thing visitors should keep in mind.
Stretch marks do not change dramatically all at once,
but gradually through several sessions.
Usually, about 3 to 5 sessions are needed,
and intervals of about 4 to 6 weeks are kept
between each session.
It gives the skin time to change on its own.

The happiness of everyday life regained
The patient who first visited the clinic
completed five sessions.
Fractional laser and
radiofrequency methods were combined,
and skin boosters were used in between
to help normalize the skin.
The stretch marks did not disappear dramatically,
but the depth became shallower
and the color faded a lot,
so they are now no longer very noticeable.
Most importantly, her expression
changed.
Recently, she told us she even wore a swimsuit
during a family trip and smiled brightly.
