Stretch marks happen when your body grows faster than your skin can keep up with. This causes the elastic fibers just under the surface of the skin to break, resulting in stretch marks
Growing that fast can leave you with stretch marks, especially on your belly and breasts, two areas that grow the most. Stretch marks can also show up on the thighs, buttocks, and upper arms. The marks often start out reddish or purple, but after pregnancy they gradually fade to white or gray.
usually stretch marks naturally fade to faint, silvery lines, others remain darker and more showy.
The best time to treat the marks is while they're still in that reddish stage. Gels made with a mix of onion extract and hyaluronic acid may help when using on regular base of 3 months .
you can ask the dermatologist for a retinoid cream , this speeds up cell turnover and can stimulate new collagen growth, leading to plumper, healthier skin.
other more treatments are lasers that heat the skin. That boosts collagen growth and shrinks dilated blood vessels. It may take a number of sessions to see results
Gentler processes such as dermabrasion can also help renew the skin.
prevention is usually better than treatment ,stay hydrated through drinking enough water and applying moisturizing creams or coconut butter creams to the skin that is more prone to stretch marks and weight and size changes .
