Thermage® Stretch Mark Reduction at Tucson Cosmetics
Restore Confidence with Expert Stretch Mark Treatment
Stretch marks (striae) are a common skin concern caused by rapid stretching of the skin from pregnancy, weight changes, or growth spurts. They often begin as reddish or purplish streaks and eventually fade to silver or white. Stretch marks occur in the dermis—the skin’s elastic middle layer—which, when overstretched, can tear and leave behind visible scarring. At Tucson Cosmetics, Dr. Sofia Rubbani offers advanced stretch mark reduction treatments, including Thermage®, to improve skin texture and restore a smoother, healthier appearance.

-

Growth during adolescence

Use of certain medications (e.g., hormones, steroids)
