Stretch marks (also called striae) are common skin changes that can appear after growth, pregnancy, or weight fluctuations. While harmless, they can affect confidence.
At Angela Azar, MD, we provide advanced stretch mark treatments at our Great Neck and Jackson Heights offices. With dermatologist-supervised care, patients see smoother skin and reduced visibility of stretch marks over time.
Stretch marks occur when skin stretches too quickly, causing collagen and elastin fibers to tear. They often appear on:
Abdomen
Thighs
Hips
Breasts
Arms
Lower back
They may start as red or purple and fade to white or silver over time — but rarely disappear without treatment.
Dr. Azar customizes treatment based on the severity, location, and age of your stretch marks. Options may include:
Laser & Light Therapies – Stimulate collagen to smooth and fade stretch marks
Microneedling / RF Microneedling (eMatrix) – Improves texture and encourages new skin growth
Topical Retinoids (prescription only) – Enhance skin turnover for newer stretch marks
Combination Therapy – Best results often come from combining treatments
