Postpartum Stretch Mark Care with Ulfit at Gangnam

Hello,
this is Dr. Park Ki-beom, Director of GU Clinic.

The joy of childbirth is brief,
and many mothers find themselves dealing with
clearly visible stretch marks.

Stretch marks do not cause pain,
but they remain as a source of cosmetic concern.

In particular, stretch marks on the abdomen and thighs
cannot be completely hidden even with clothing,
so many people look for ways to manage them after childbirth.

"Postpartum stretch marks

at Gangnam Station, why they occur"

Stretch marks occur when the skin stretches rapidly
over a short period of time,
causing damage or tearing
to collagen and elastin fibers in the dermis.

​

They appear as streak-like marks on the surface
and can be seen on the abdomen, hips, calves, and thighs.
Common causes of stretch marks include:

▶️ Rapid weight gain
▶️ Pregnancy
▶️ Sudden growth during adolescence
▶️ Intense exercise

During pregnancy, the skin expands quickly,
and if the skin tissue cannot withstand this,
micro-tears occur and remain as stretch marks.

They initially appear reddish in color
and gradually turn into white lines over time.

Stretch marks are not just a surface issue,
but result from structural changes
in the deeper dermal layer.

"Postpartum stretch mark care,

the principle of Ulfit"

Using high-intensity focused ultrasound technology,
energy is delivered to deeper layers of the skin.

Stretch marks vary in depth of damage
depending on the area—such as the abdomen, thighs, or hips—
as well as thickness and degree of stretching.

With two cartridges, 6mm and 9mm,
thermal coagulation points can be created
at the desired depth.

Ulfit concentrates energy at targeted depths,
reducing surface burden while remodeling deeper layers,
which can help improve stretch marks.

"Expected effects of Ulfit"

✔️ Improves body elasticity
✔️ Reduces postpartum stretch marks
✔️ Enhances body contour
✔️ Allows targeted treatment of desired areas

It can promote regeneration of skin tissue
in areas affected by stretch marks,
helping to smooth the skin texture.

​

With repeated treatments,
you may expect changes such as
lightening of stretch mark color and improved elasticity.

"In conclusion"

Postpartum stretch marks are
a natural result of the pregnancy process.

However, depending on the individual,
they may remain a concern,
so finding an appropriate treatment method is important.

Management of postpartum stretch marks at Gangnam Station
should be customized based on skin condition,
depth, and extent of the stretch marks
to achieve effective results.
