Stretch Marks

Stretch marks are visible lines on the skin, often caused by a rapid stretching of the skin tissues. They typically appear following sudden body changes, such as pregnancy, puberty, or rapid weight gain. Initially, stretch marks are red or purple before gradually fading and turning white. While they never completely disappear, there are some tips to lessen their appearance.

FAQ about stretch marks

Why do stretch marks turn white?

Over time, stretch marks lose their reddish color and turn white as the blood vessels contract, giving way to scar tissue.

Which areas of the body are most often affected by stretch marks?

Stretch marks typically appear on the stomach, hips, thighs, and buttocks, where the skin undergoes significant stretching.

Can men have stretch marks?

Yes, men can develop stretch marks, particularly during rapid weight gain, such as during adolescence, or following intense muscle development.

Can vegetable oils help to reduce stretch marks?

Rich in fatty acids, some plant oils could potentially help reduce inflammatory stretch marks, although more scientific evidence is needed to confirm this. However, they cannot affect white, permanent stretch marks.

What is the effectiveness of laser treatment for stretch marks?

Laser treatment can enhance the appearance of stretch marks by stimulating collagen production and evening out pigmentation, but multiple sessions are typically required.
