Stretch Marks Treatment

Stretch Marks Treatment

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.

  • Pregnancy
  • Rapid weight loss or gain
  • Weight training when you have rapid muscle growth
