Tanda regangan, juga dikenali sebagai coretan, terbentuk apabila kulit meregang terlalu cepat semasa mengandung, kenaikan berat badan yang cepat, atau lonjakan pertumbuhan. They often appear as merah, ungu, or white lines on the abdomen, peha, pinggul, atau lengan. Walaupun tidak berbahaya, ramai orang mencari cara untuk mengurangkan penampilan mereka.
One of the most promising options is terapi lampu merah (RLT), which stimulates penghasilan kolagen—a key factor in improving skin elasticity and reducing stretch marks.
How Collagen Helps With Stretch Marks
- Collagen = Skin’s Support System
Collagen is a structural protein that keeps skin tegas, smooth, and elastic. - When the skin stretches too quickly, collagen and elastin fibers break, leaving behind visible marks.
- Increasing collagen levels helps repair damaged tissue and restore smoother texture.
How Red Light Therapy Boosts Collagen
Terapi cahaya merah menggunakan cahaya merah dan inframerah dekat aras rendah (630–850nm) that penetrates the skin and stimulates mitokondria dalam sel. Ini bertambah ATP (tenaga selular), which powers the body’s natural repair processes.
Key effects on collagen:
- Activates Fibroblasts → the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin.
- Increases Collagen Density → making the skin stronger and more elastic.
- Memperbaiki Peredaran → delivers nutrients and oxygen to help rebuild skin tissue.
- Smooths Texture → gradually reduces the depth and visibility of stretch marks.
Faedah Terapi Lampu Merah untuk Stretch Mark
- Merangsang new collagen production
- bertambah baik skin elasticity and firmness
- Reduces the kontras warna of stretch marks (fading red/purple marks faster)
- Smooths rough or depressed skin texture
- Tidak invasif, safe for most skin types, and drug-free

Soalan Lazim
S1: Bolehkah terapi lampu merah menghilangkan sepenuhnya tanda regangan?
Tidak, but it can significantly reduce their visibility and improve skin smoothness.
S2: Does collagen really work on old stretch marks?
Collagen stimulation is more effective on newer (merah/ungu) marks, but even older white marks can appear softer and less noticeable.
S3: Berapa lama sebelum saya melihat hasilnya?
Most people notice improvement after 6–12 minggu of consistent therapy.
S4: Can I combine red light therapy with collagen supplements or creams?
ya. Using RLT alongside collagen peptides or topical creams may enhance results.
Bawa Pulang Akhir
Red light therapy helps reduce stretch marks by stimulating collagen production, improving elasticity, and enhancing skin repair. While it may not erase stretch marks completely, consistent use can lead to smoother, lebih tegas, and more even-toned skin.
