Stop wasting time and money in stretch mark creams and wraps that promise the world and never deliver. The only safe, effective, and reliable solutions for dramatically improving the appearance of those stubborn lines are non-invasive procedures by professional skin specialists, like the cosmetic team at Dr. Patty Miami.
WHAT CAUSES STRETCH MARKS?
First, let’s get one thing out of the way: stretch marks are extremely common and can happen to any woman (or man) at any age. They tend to develop in puberty and/or pregnancy as the results of micro-tears in the dermis — aka the deepest layer of your skin — but may also appear after gaining weight quickly, or just because you’re genetically predisposed to getting them.
As the name implies, stretch marks show up when the skin is stretched beyond its limits of elasticity. When your skin expands rapidly for any reason (like growing a baby in your belly), the connecting fibers that hold the dermis together can’t accommodate the new growth fast enough. This causes the skin to tear, producing long, narrow stripes or streaks that start out pinkish or red and gradually fade into a white or silvery color.
Some of the most common causes of stretch marks include:
- Rapid or extreme weight gain
- Genetics
- Corticosteroid use
- Certain medical conditions
- Pregnancy

Dr. Patty Miami’s Approach to Stretch Mark Removal
The decision to remove your stretch marks is very personal. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with your body if you have them, but it’s also completely valid if you want to minimize their appearance as much as possible.
At Dr. Patty Miami, stretch mark removal is a personalized treatment that starts with a one-on-one consultation with a certified skincare provider at our luxury boutique clinic. During this appointment, we’ll evaluate the condition of your skin, the color and texture of your stretch marks, and talk about any lifestyle changes you should make to keep your tiger stripes from coming back in the future.
Based on what we learn, we may recommend a single treatment option or create a customized, multi-step plan that involves a combination of approaches. Our stretch mark removal options include:
Laser Stretch Mark Removal
Laser skin resurfacing is an effective treatment for reducing the appearance of stretch marks. At Dr. Patty Miami we use the Fraxel laser, which uses concentrated light energy to address pigmentation and texture issues. Skin resurfacing treatments also stimulate the production of collagen and elastin to replenish the skin from within. [Click here] to learn more about laser resurfacing for stretch marks in Miami.
Thermage
Thermage is a non-invasive face and body therapy that uses radiofrequency to boost collagen growth and stimulate your body’s natural renewal process. The treatment, which can be done almost anywhere in the body, helps re-strengthen collagen fiber bonds within the dermal layers to deliver a firmer appearance. Thermage tightens, lifts, and thickens the skin in a single session, so you’ll see noticeable improvements in your stretch marks immediately after your treatment.

Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat and skin from the belly area and the only method for removing abdominal stretch marks permanently. Because it’s a relatively major surgery, it’s not recommended for stretch mark removal alone. It also doesn’t address stretch marks outside the abdominal area.
However, if you’ve just given birth or lost a lot of weight and want to contour your upper body, get rid of stubborn fat bulges, and vanish belly stretch marks, a tummy tuck can provide a life-changing makeover. [Click here] to learn more about our elite tummy tuck in Miami.
