If you look in the mirror every day and wish that something could be done about your stretch marks, it is comforting to know that today's technology finally makes it possible to solve them through various treatments for stretch marks.
Stretch marks are wavy lines that cross the body in a clear pattern on the surface of the skin that compete with veins and arteries to be seen. They usually occur because the skin has stretched beyond its limit, lost its elasticity, and collagen production has been disrupted. The loss of elastin and the interruption in collagen production causes the skin to have stretch marks in the upper layer of the skin.
Stretch marks occur in both men and women. The thighs, hips, buttocks, and abdomen of pregnant women are common areas for stretch marks to become visible. They often get worse with rapid growth, pregnancy, hormones, weight loss or weight gain.
