What are Stretch Marks?
Stretch marks are lines that appear on the skin after a periods of rapid stretching of the skin.
Stretch marks can occur during:
- Pregnancy
- Body Building
- Rapid weight gain
- Puberty
- Genetic Predisposition
- Some Health problems such as Cushing’s or Marfan syndrome
- Excessive use of corticosteroids
The middle dermis layer of your skin is made up of strong, inter-connected fibres.
These fibres allow the skin to expand and contract.
Stretch marks are caused by the rapid stretching of the middle layer of the skin.
This can cause the skin to break or tear which allows deeper skin layers to show through.
So, if we can stop stretch marks forming we may avoid the very difficult problem of removing them.
