Striae at Skin-Lab™ Balen

Striae (stretchmarks) ontstaan wanneer de huid in korte tijd uitrekt door groei, zwangerschap, gewichtsschommelingen of hormonale veranderingen.

Hierdoor wordt de huidstructuur opgerekt en verschijnen er lijnen in licht- of donkerkleurige tinten.

Striae kunnen storend zijn, maar zijn met de juiste techniek goed te verbeteren.

Bij Skin-Lab™ behandelen we striae met SkinPen® microneedling, een geavanceerde methode die het natuurlijke herstelproces van de huid activeert en zo zorgt voor een geleidelijke verbetering van de huidstructuur en stevigheid.

• SkinPen® stimulates collagen and makes the skin tighter and smoother.
• Treatment tailored to your skin and type of striae.
• Results are supported with Rebiome aftercare products.

SkinPen® creates small micro-channels in the skin to stimulate renewal. This gradually improves the skin texture and makes striae less noticeable.

Our skin specialists determine the intensity and treatment plan based on your skin and the area.

The result is a visibly finer skin texture and a more even skin appearance.

What are striae and what causes them?

Striae are lines or streaks in the skin that occur when the skin stretches over a short period of time. This can happen due to pregnancy, growth or weight fluctuations. The underlying skin structure stretches, creating a visible pattern.

How does SkinPen® microneedling work for striae?

SkinPen® uses fine needles to create small micro-channels in the skin to activate the natural repair process. The skin produces its own collagen and gradually becomes firmer and smoother.

For which areas is the treatment suitable?

Striae often occur on:
• abdomen
• legs
• buttocks
• breasts
• hips
• arms
During your appointment, we will assess which area and intensity are most suitable.

How many treatments do I need?

This depends on the area and the depth of the striae. We usually recommend a course of multiple treatments for a long-lasting result.

How do I prepare my skin?

Very little preparation is needed. We ask that you:
• avoid sunbeds or sun exposure beforehand
• do not use irritating products on the area
• arrive with clean skin
You will always receive personalised advice.

Does the treatment hurt?

Most clients find SkinPen® well tolerated. You may feel a slight tingling or scratching sensation.

What does the skin look like after the treatment?

The skin may be slightly red or sensitive. This usually settles quickly. The repair process then begins.

Is downtime needed?

SkinPen® involves virtually no downtime. We avoid intense exercise and sun exposure shortly after the treatment.

What aftercare is included?

For the best result, we support the skin with Rebiome products. These keep the skin barrier balanced and help maintain the result.

When will I see results?

Improvement builds in the weeks after the treatment. The skin texture becomes firmer and the striae become less visible.

Is the treatment safe?

Yes. SkinPen® is a registered and CE-certified professional microneedling technique. We work according to established safety and hygiene protocols.

How much does the treatment cost?

The price depends on the area. You can find the rates in the price list or contact us.

Can I book an appointment straight away?

Yes. You can easily book online or by phone. During the first appointment, we determine the right treatment plan.
