We support clients who want to reduce the appearance of stretch marks, which are a common cosmetic concern. Though harmless, stretch marks may affect self-confidence—especially after periods of rapid change in body size or shape.
What Are Stretch Marks?
Stretch marks (striae) are visible streaks or lines that form when the skin is stretched too quickly, causing the collagen and elastin fibers in the dermis to tear. They may appear as pink, red, purple, or silvery-white marks depending on skin tone and how long they’ve been present. Common areas include the abdomen, thighs, hips, breasts, and upper arms.
Common Causes
- Pregnancy – Rapid skin expansion during gestation
- Puberty – Growth spurts can stretch the skin quickly
- Weight fluctuations – Sudden weight gain or loss
- Hormonal changes – Such as during puberty or with corticosteroid use
- Genetics – Family history can increase likelihood
Prevention Tips
- Keep skin well hydrated with moisturizers
- Maintain a balanced diet rich in vitamins C, E, and zinc
- Avoid rapid weight gain or loss when possible
- Use topical treatments proactively during pregnancy or growth periods
