Stretch marks are incredibly common (like, nearly-everyone-has-them common). Whether they appeared during puberty, pregnancy, or after a body change, they’re nothing to be ashamed of. If you’re exploring ways to improve their appearance, our team is here to help guide you through options that may assist your skin’s natural repair processes.
At Injex Clinics, we’re not here to “fix” you. We focus on working with you using treatments that have a strong safety record when performed by qualified practitioners. Our aim is to support your skin so it may feel smoother, firmer, and more comfortable over time.
Stretch marks (a.k.a. striae) are a type of scar that forms when the skin stretches or shrinks quickly. This sudden change can affect the collagen and elastin — the fibres that keep your skin strong and flexible. As the skin heals, these marks may appear red, purple, pink, or silvery-white.
They’re most often found on the stomach, thighs, hips, breasts, arms and buttocks, but they can develop in many different areas of the body.
At Injex Clinics, we offer professional treatments that help support your skin’s natural healing process to reduce the appearance of stretch marks over time.
Our most effective stretch mark treatments include:
Tiny micro-needles create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which can stimulate your body’s natural collagen production. This process may assist with improving skin texture, supporting firmness, and helping to soften the appearance of old and new stretch marks.
PRP uses platelets from your own blood to support tissue regeneration. It may be combined with skin needling to further assist collagen activity and skin healing.
Our medical-grade fractional laser technology works on deeper layers of the skin to encourage new collagen formation. This may help reduce the visibility of stretch marks, particularly in some older, lighter-toned marks.
Polynucleotides in Rejuran can help support the skin’s natural repair processes. Over time, this may assist in improving skin texture, firmness and elasticity, which can contribute to reducing the appearance of stretch marks.
LED therapy may support skin recovery, assist in reducing inflammation, and complement the results of other stretch mark treatments.
All treatments are tailored to your skin, your stretch marks, and your goals. Every journey begins with a consultation to determine the most suitable approach for you. Individual results vary.

No cream will erase stretch marks entirely (sorry Instagram ads), but you can support your skin from the comfort of home:
Daily hydration: Moisturise with nourishing creams, look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, peptides or vitamin E.
Topical retinoids: These can improve cell turnover (but must be avoided during pregnancy).
Massage: Gently massaging affected areas may help with circulation and absorption of actives.
SPF: Yep, even for stretch marks. Sun exposure can make them more noticeable.
And of course, consistency is key – no one-off wonder products here.
