Hip Stretch Marks

Description

Hip stretch marks, also known as striae over hips, striae distensae, or simply stretch marks, are common lines or streaks that appear on the skin following rapid growth, weight changes, or hormonal shifts, such as those experienced during puberty or pregnancy. These marks can range in color—starting as red, purple, or even dark blue (striae rubrae, nigra, or caerulea) and gradually fading to white or silvery lines known as striae albae. While harmless, stretch marks on the hips often cause self-consciousness, motivating many people worldwide to seek effective treatments. Advanced options like Morpheus8 radiofrequency microneedling are now popular in South Korea, where experienced practitioners and affordable costs attract international patients seeking to visibly reduce hip stretch marks and regain confidence in their appearance.
