Understanding stretch marks
What are stretch marks?
Stretch marks, medically known as striae, develop when the skin stretches or changes faster than its supporting tissue can adapt.
They commonly appear after:
- Pregnancy
- Rapid growth
- Weight gain or loss
- Muscle development
- Hormonal changes
- Changes in skin elasticity
Stretch marks may begin red, pink or purple and gradually become lighter or silvery over time.
White stretch marks
Older stretch marks usually become pale, white or silvery.
These established marks often require greater emphasis on collagen remodeling and improvement in texture.
Dr. Nivine adjusts treatment according to the age, color and depth of the stretch marks.
Treatment options
Stretch mark treatment options
- 01
Microneedling
Creates controlled micro-injuries designed to stimulate skin repair and collagen remodeling.
- 02
Morpheus8
Radiofrequency microneedling combines controlled needling with radiofrequency energy and may be considered for selected stretch marks where texture and tissue remodeling are priorities.
- 03
Fractional Laser
Selected fractional laser treatments can stimulate remodeling within the skin and may help improve the texture and appearance of stretch marks.
- 04
PRP
Platelet rich plasma may be incorporated into selected regenerative treatment protocols, particularly as part of a combination approach.
The appropriate treatment depends on skin tone, stretch mark type and pigmentation risk.
Dr. Nivine's approach
Treatment follows the type of stretch mark.
Stretch marks should not be treated using one standard protocol.
Dr. Nivine evaluates:
- Whether the marks are new or established
- Color
- Depth
- Texture
- Skin tone
- Treatment area
- Skin laxity
- Risk of pigmentation
This is particularly important in Dubai's diverse patient population, where treatment settings must be selected carefully according to skin type.
Treatment course
How many sessions will I need?
Stretch mark treatment usually requires a course rather than a single procedure.
The number of sessions depends on:
- Age of the stretch marks
- Depth
- Treatment area
- Skin type
- Technology selected
- Individual response
Improvement develops gradually as the skin remodels.
Realistic expectations
Can stretch marks be completely removed?
No treatment can guarantee complete removal.
The realistic goal is to make stretch marks less visible by improving their texture, color and integration with the surrounding skin.
Established white stretch marks may require more treatment than newer marks.

Frequently asked questions
Stretch Mark Treatment Dubai FAQs
What is the best treatment for stretch marks?
There is no single best treatment. Microneedling, radiofrequency microneedling and selected fractional lasers are commonly considered depending on stretch mark type and skin tone.
Can Morpheus8 improve stretch marks?
Morpheus8 may be considered for selected patients because it combines microneedling with radiofrequency to stimulate tissue remodeling.
Does microneedling work for stretch marks?
Microneedling can improve the appearance of stretch marks by stimulating controlled skin remodeling. Multiple sessions are usually required.
Can old white stretch marks be treated?
Yes. Established white stretch marks may improve, although they are generally more difficult to treat than newer red or pink marks.
Can stretch marks disappear completely?
Usually not. Treatment aims to reduce their visibility and improve texture rather than promise complete removal.
How many treatments will I need?
The number varies according to the age, depth, area and treatment selected. A treatment course is commonly required.
