The Striae Distensae or stretch marks is a challenging problem. They form deep within the dermis layer. This happens as a result when skin undergoes rapid stretching, the stress causes damage to skin connective tissue. When the body starts healing these tears, small red scars form which gives the appearance of stretch marks. Over the period of time, these turn into stubborn white colored stretch marks.
These stretch marks appear as smooth bands and slowly develop into narrow streaks and lines. Depending on skin tone they can also appear as red or purple but with a period of time they fade leaving white, pale marks. Stretch marks can develop due to pregnancy, rapid weight gain, obesity, puberty, weight lifting or certain medical conditions.
At Dadu Medical Centre located in Delhi, Vasant Vihar (South Delhi), Rajouri Garden (West Delhi), we are equipped with advanced laser technologies that are designed to specifically work on the stretch marks. The protocols are carved to not only treat stretch marks but also significantly improves overall skin tone, elasticity, and texture. The treatment is intended to resurface the chosen area of the skin. Unlike traditional non-ablative laser, this does not remove the complete skin layer, instead creates selective small perforations in the skin leaving surrounding tissue intact, thus reduces the downtime of treatment and helps skin heals faster as epidermis regenerates.
The micro injuries created during the procedure will start the healing process as collagen remodels, skin tightens and texture improves. This protocol is completely safe. During treatment, patient can feel mild heat sensation for about couple of hours and then virtually no discomfort at all. The patient can witness downtime of about 5 days, minor scabbing can happen which will eventually fall off within 5 days on its own.
Dr. Nivedita Dadu, recommends successive sessions depending on the patient condition to visualize effective results and improvement will happen gradually.

DMC-Pixigenus Stretch Mark Treatment in Delhi – Fractional Laser with Growth Factors at Dadu Medical Centre
Stretch marks are a deeply common skin concern and yet they remain one of the most difficult things to treat effectively with regular topical products. Whether they appeared during pregnancy, after rapid weight gain or loss, during a teenage growth spurt, or because of prolonged medication use, stretch marks form in the deeper layers of the skin where creams and oils simply cannot reach which is why so many people spend years applying products without seeing real results. DMC-Pixigenus fractional laser stretch mark treatment in Delhi at Dadu Medical Centre is a more advanced, medically designed approach that addresses the problem at the level where it actually exists inside the dermis using laser energy combined with the healing power of the patient's own growth factors. The DMC-Pixigenus is an exclusive treatment protocol developed at Dadu Medical Centre and represents one of the most comprehensive stretch mark treatments currently available at the clinic. What sets it apart from a standard laser session is the two-step nature of the treatment first, a fractional laser is used to create precise, selective small perforations in the skin while leaving the tissue surrounding each perforation completely intact, and then growth factors extracted from the patient's own blood are applied to the freshly treated skin, where they can penetrate through the laser-created channels and go to work repairing the damaged tissue from within. At Dadu Medical Centre, one of the leading stretch mark treatment clinics in Delhi, Dr. Nivedita Dadu uses this combined approach for patients who want a more targeted and thorough outcome than a single-modality treatment can typically deliver. The clinic operates from Vasant Vihar in South Delhi and Rajouri Garden in West Delhi, and this treatment is performed under complete medical supervision with the protocol customised based on the age, depth, colour, and location of each patient's stretch marks.
To understand why this combination of fractional laser and growth factors works so well on stretch marks, it helps to first understand what a stretch mark actually is. When the skin is stretched faster than it can accommodate during pregnancy, for example, or during a period of rapid weight gain the collagen and elastin fibres inside the dermis tear. The dermis is the resilient middle layer of the skin that gives it its shape and elasticity. When these fibres rupture, the skin cannot repair the damage perfectly, and the result is a long, depressed, discoloured streak on the skin surface the stretch mark. Newer stretch marks that are still red or purple (called striae rubra) have exposed blood vessels beneath the skin surface and are still in an active inflammatory phase. As they age, the blood vessels contract, the fat beneath becomes more visible, and the marks fade to white or silver (called striae alba). Both types represent a fundamental loss of structural integrity in the dermal tissue, and this is exactly what the DMC-Pixigenus treatment targets. The fractional laser creates thousands of controlled microscopic perforations in the skin over the stretch mark area in a pattern that treats a fraction of the skin at a time while protecting the tissue in between each perforation. This protective approach treating fractionally rather than ablating the entire surface is what keeps the downtime very manageable and speeds up healing. The perforations trigger the skin's wound repair response, which includes the activation of fibroblasts, stimulation of new collagen and elastin production, and cell regeneration in the treated area. By building fresh, healthy tissue from the inside, the skin over the stretch mark gradually fills in, the depression becomes shallower, and the colour becomes more even and closer to the surrounding normal skin.
The addition of growth factors immediately after the laser portion of the session is what makes the DMC-Pixigenus protocol significantly more effective than a laser session alone. Growth factors are proteins found naturally in the blood that play a direct role in tissue repair and cellular regeneration. To obtain them, a small quantity of the patient's blood is drawn similar to a routine blood test and processed to isolate the plasma containing these repair proteins. This growth factor concentrate is then applied to the skin immediately after the laser perforations have been made, while the microchannels created by the laser are still open. Because the laser has temporarily broken through the outer skin barrier, the growth factors can penetrate much deeper than they would through normal intact skin, reaching the dermal layer where the stretch mark tissue is actively trying to repair itself. The growth factor proteins signal the surrounding skin cells to proliferate, accelerate healing, and produce more collagen. This creates a significantly enhanced repair response compared to what the body would generate on its own meaning results are better and can be achieved over fewer sessions in many cases. This is a key reason why the stretch mark doctors in Delhi at Dadu Medical Centre prefer the Pixigenus protocol for patients whose stretch marks have not responded adequately to simpler treatments, or for those who want more meaningful improvement in a structured, supervised course of sessions.
The session begins with a skin assessment and cleansing of the treatment area. A numbing cream is applied and left for adequate time to ensure patient comfort. Once the skin is prepared, the fractional laser is applied across the stretch marks systematically. After the laser portion is complete, the growth factor concentrate is prepared and applied directly to the treated area and worked gently into the skin through the open channels. The session typically takes between forty-five to sixty minutes in total. After the session, the skin may appear slightly flushed and feel warm, and there may be some mild redness or sensitivity in the treated area that settles within a day or two. Patients are asked to keep the area protected from sun exposure, apply a gentle moisturiser and SPF 30 or higher sunscreen daily, and avoid any harsh topical products on the treated skin for a few days post-session. Most patients need three to five sessions spaced three to four weeks apart, with the exact number depending on the age and extent of the stretch marks. Dr. Nivedita Dadu evaluates the progress after each session and adjusts the protocol if needed to ensure the best possible outcome for every individual patient.
