What causes stretch marks?
Stretch marks are known to affect both men and women, and can appear anywhere on the body – typically developing on the thighs, abdomen, lower back, buttocks, hips, and arms. The most common causes for stretch marks include:
Genetics
Genetics play a key role in whether or not you’ll have stretch marks. For example, if your mother developed stretch marks during pregnancy, you have a higher risk of developing them as well.
Weight fluctuations
Gaining and/or losing a substantial amount of weight causes your skin to stretch, which will often result in unsightly stretch marks.
Puberty
When teens experience their growth spurts, stretch marks often occur as the skin struggles to keep up with the rest of the body’s growth.
Bodybuilding
When men and women rapidly develop muscles as commonly occurs during bodybuilding, the skin may expand too quickly, resulting in the development of stretch marks.
Ethnicity
In general, men and women who have lighter skin are more likely to develop stretch marks than individuals with a darker complexion.
Pregnancy
It’s extremely common for women to develop stretch marks on their legs, hips, abdomen and other areas after pregnancy, due to the substantial weight gain that occurs.

An overview of laser stretch mark removal
To address stretch marks, Dr. Scarpidis uses the innovative Icon Aesthetic System. To begin your stretch mark removal in NYC, he will apply a numbing cream to the target area to ensure that your treatment is as pleasant and comfortable as possible. From there, he will move the laser over your skin, encouraging fresh skin cells to grow and replace your stretch marks. This is accomplished without doing any damage to your surrounding skin, ensuring a comfortable procedure, a non-existent recovery period and very few risks.
Though it’s normal to experience some temporary redness and swelling in the treatment area after your session, it won’t prevent you from resuming your normal daily routine immediately. Depending on the severity of your stretch marks and the quality of your skin, you may see a visible improvement after just one session – or you may require additional treatments to achieve optimal results.
