Stretch Marks

Regain Skin Confidence With Stretch Marks Treatments

A stretch mark is a type of scar that develops when our skin stretches or shrinks quickly. The abrupt change causes the collagen and elastin, which support our skin, to rupture. As the skin heals, stretch marks may appear. Not everyone develops these narrow bands on their skin. Fluctuating hormone levels seem to play a role. You may also have a higher risk if people in your family get stretch marks.

When Do Stretch Marks Appear?

If you develop stretch marks, you’re most likely to do so during these times:
  • Growth spurts that happen in puberty
  • Pregnancy
  • Rapid weight loss or gain
  • Weight training when you have rapid muscle growth
  • If you have Cushing’s disease or Marfan syndrome, you may see stretch marks.

How Do Stretch Marks Look Like?

  • When stretch marks first appear, they tend to be red, purple, pink, reddish-brown, or dark brown, depending on your skin color.
  • Early stretch marks may feel slightly raised and can be itchy.
  • In time, the color fades, and the narrow bands sink beneath your skin.
  • If you run your finger over a mature stretch mark, you often feel a slight depression.

More and more people are opting for stretch mark removal in order to regain skin confidence.
