Stretch Mark Removal in 4 Weeks: Simple, Fast, and 100% Effective Stretch marks appear as lines on the skin's surface and have an unattractive color. Stretch marks can appear on the thighs, upper arms, buttocks, and breasts, but they are most frequently found in the abdominal wall.
Large portions of the body may occasionally be covered in stretch marks. Stretch marks typically develop during pregnancy, but there are other causes, including sudden weight gain or loss, rapid growth, hereditary factors, stress, and changes in physical conditions.
The skin consists of three main layers: Epidermis (the outer layer), Dermis (the middle layer) and Subcutaneous or Hypodermic (the deepest layer). Stretch marks form in the dermis or middle layer of the skin when the connective tissue is “stretched” beyond the power of its flexibility due to rapid expansion or contraction of the skin.
As skin is stretched, the collagen is weakened and its normal production cycle is interrupted and damaged. This ultimately results in fine scars under the top layer of the skin. Initially the marks look pink or red, but over time a thin, silvery line appears on the skin surface and a stretch mark is born.
Stretch marks appear on the skin surface when someone grows quickly, or puts on weight quickly. Stretch marks can make you feel self-conscious and uncomfortable about your appearance. Fortunately, there are several natural ways to reduce the appearance of stretch marks.
