Stretch Marks
What Are Stretch Marks?
Stretch marks are long, narrow streaks or stripes that develop on the skin when it is stretched too quickly. They commonly appear on the abdomen, thighs, hips, breasts, and upper arms, and can vary in color from red or purple to white or silver.
Causes of Stretch Marks
Stretch marks can appear on many different areas of the body, including: breasts, hips, buttocks, thighs, abdomen, and arms. They appear when the skin is stretched over a short period of time. As the skin stretches, collagen and elastin within the tissue rupture, causing the appearance of a raised streak. When they first form, these marks can be itchy and red. Some common causes include pregnancy, rapid weight gain, puberty, rapid muscle building, and frequent use of topical corticosteroids. While stretch marks may lighten and fade over time, many people remain dissatisfied and self-conscious with their permanent appearance. Our experienced team can recommend the most effective course of treatment based on the age and extent of the marks.
