What are StretchMarks?
What do stretch marks look like? Stretch marks are a form of skin scarring. They appear as streaks or lines running across the skin; and they may be pink, black, red, brown, or purple in color. These deformities occur when the middle layer of skin overstretches; leading to damage of the elastic fibers found on the dermis.

Frequently Asked Questions about Stretch Marks
Do stretch marks hurt?
Stretch marks are not painful or harmful, but can sometimes be uncomfortable. Stretch marks are often unsightly and many patients confess to feeling insecure about others noticing these imperfections.
What causes stretch marks?
Stretch marks are caused by overstretching of the skin making elastic fibers found on the dermis to lose elasticity.
Can you get stretch marks from losing weight?
Rapid weight loss can lead to the formation of stretch marks or make existing ones more noticeable.
Where do stretch marks from growing come from?
Abrupt changes (as experienced in growth) cause elastin and collagen to rupture. These are the structures that support the skin hence; and consequentially stretch marks develop.
What causes stretch marks on the buttocks?
Stretch marks on the buttocks occur when collagen ruptures, especially due to a rapid increase in weight.
Do stretch marks go away?
Stretch marks are irreversible and permanent. However, certain aspects (such as cosmetic procedures) make them less noticeable.
Does collagen get rid of stretch marks?
Collagen in cosmetic treatments is a miracle worker. While the protein may not be able to eliminate stretch marks completely, it makes them less visible.

Each day you look in the mirror to see the same you as always. Then one day realize you’re seeing darker splotches on that oh-so-familiar face. You become a little anxious that it may be Melanoma. After all, you’ve run the gamut of exposure, from sunbathing with baby oil in your teens. And using other “tanning lotions”, to covering up and using the highest SPF sun block you can find. Finally, you sigh in relief when you see your dermatologist and learn your fear is unwarranted. But you receive a diagnosis of Melasma and/or Liver Spots. What exactly does that mean and what can be done about them?
What are Melasma and Liver Spots?
Liver Spots are called by several names. You may know them as Age or Sun Spots or simply Brown Spots. A Liver Spot by any other name is still just hyperpigmentation in the skin; most often caused by sun damage. Age Spots, as you can guess by the name, are generally associated with age, and may be found on the face, neck, hands, shoulders and chest.
Halo Facial Treatment
Melasma, on the other hand, is more closely associated with hormonal changes brought on by pregnancy, birth control use and menopause. Some people with naturally darker pigmented skin or a family history of the condition have a higher chance of developing Melasma. While Melasma may occur in any exposed skin (such as the arms and hands0, it is most commonly found on the face and more frequently in women than men.

Feeling dissatisfied with your appearance can affect everything from self-esteem and interpersonal relationships, to career prospects and self-confidence. Therefore, if you are not carrying yourself through life with confidence, you may miss opportunities to progress. This may include your love life; professional pursuits; or social circles.
How to Find the Best Anti Aging Treatment Options
Dry skin (or the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face) may cause you to hide away from the world. And if you are unhappy with your body shape, you may not dress to impress. You may feel less included to enjoy vacations by the pool. Changes to your facial features may also remind you of the advancement of old age; and prevent you from living in the moment.
It often seems that many aesthetic body issues can only be solved with surgery. However, the surgical approach is not always suitable for everyone. Work, family and social commitments restrict the amount of recovery time available for plastic surgery.
Underlying health issues may not allow for anesthesia. And some patients do not want to experience the pain and scarring associated with plastic surgery procedures.
Experience a Range of Non-invasive Cosmetic Treatments and Procedures
At 4Beauty Med Spa in Miami, we understand that you want a boost to your confidence; or to create an image change without invasive treatments. We offer a wide range of non surgical cosmetic procedures to tackle many problem areas for our patients. For example, the skin is the first area of the body to show evidence of aging and exposure to the elements. Consider a dermaplaning chemical peel to improve the appearance of wrinkles; and lessen the impact of acne scars. Dermaplaning removes translucent facial hairs to give the face a cleaner and more beautiful outline.
In other areas of the body, cellulite can cause distress or embarrassment for many people. Laser treatment for cellulite can be performed in as little as one hour, resulting in smooth, tightened skin that can last for up to a year.
