What Are Stretch Marks?
They are irregular streaks, lines, or scars on the skin, with a different texture and color than your normal skin. They usually develop when your skin shrinks or stretches quickly. You can get them virtually anywhere on your body, but they are common on the buttocks, upper arms, thighs, breasts, and stomach.
What Are the Major Causes of Stretch Marks?
Stretch marks sometimes appear mainly due to obesity or pregnancy. They also appear when you rapidly lose or gain weight or experience rapid muscle growth. Teenagers may get these marks after sudden growth spurts that happen during puberty. Pills, lotions, and creams that contain corticosteroid hormones may also cause stretch marks to appear.
Just keep in mind that not everyone develops these narrow bands on their skin. The fluctuation of hormones in your body plays a very crucial role. If your family members or relatives have stretch marks, you are more likely to develop them.
How Do You Get Rid of Stretch Marks?
Stretch mark removal gels, creams and lotions nowadays don’t seem to help at all. Instead, researchers have discovered new stretch mark removal technologies such as laser therapy and microneedling (collagen-induction therapy). These technologies make the marks appear less noticeable. To achieve optimum results when using these technologies, you may want to combine your treatment with home remedies such as almond oil, olive oil, cocoa butter, and vitamin E.
It’s important to understand that no single treatment works for everyone. To give you the best results, our dermatologist may use more than one procedure. During your initial appointment, your stretch mark removal expert will evaluate your medical history and screen your skin to determine the best treatment for you.
