Stretch Marks

A common concern that affects both men and women, stretch marks are visible marks on the skin from the rapid stretching of the skin that tear dermal collagen—skin between the epidermis and lowermost layer of skin. Stretch marks are a form of scarring caused by the skin overstretching, generally caused by rapid weight gain associated with pregnancy, obesity, bodybuilding or puberty. The best treatment depends to the location and severity of the stretch marks. Dermatologist-backed brands specialize in creating a line of scar therapy products.
