Stretch marks

Stretch marks arise as a result of skin stretching due to rapid weight gain, body shape changes in adolescence, hormonal changes during the developing pregnancy or as a result of building muscle mass. Stretch marks can appear on the breasts, abdomen, buttocks, thighs and arms. The skin, tightly stretched due to the changes in the body shape, cannot keep up with the production of the right amount of collagen fibers and becomes weakened, as a result of which stretch marks appear, initially looking like cracks on the skin. Stretch marks are best treated in the first stage of their formation, then it is possible to rebuild the correct structures of collagen and elastin. During this time, you can prevent their formation, limit their expansion, but when they do, you can only reduce their visibility. Complete removal is only possible by operative route. Aesthetic medicine has many methods by which stretch marks are reduced.
