Stretch Marks

IN CARLSBAD, CA

What Are Stretch Marks?

Stretch marks are long, narrow streaks or lines that develop on the skin. They occur when the skin is stretched rapidly due to growth spurts, pregnancy, weight gain, or muscle building. Initially, they appear red or purple but fade to white or silver over time. Stretch marks can be found on the abdomen, thighs, hips, and breasts. Treatments aim to reduce their appearance and improve skin texture.

What Are the Causes of Stretch Marks?

Pregnancy

The skin around the abdomen stretches quickly to accommodate a growing baby, leading to stretch marks.

Rapid Weight Gain

Gaining a significant amount of weight in a short amount of time can cause the skin to stretch and form marks.

Growth Spurts

During puberty, rapid growth can cause the skin to stretch, resulting in stretch marks.

Genetics

If your parents had stretch marks, you are more likely to develop them too.

Corticosteroids

Prolonged use of corticosteroid creams or pills can decrease collagen levels in the skin, making it more susceptible to stretch marks.
