Our skin is made up of fibers called as elastin and collagen. When these fibers are stretched and then de-stretched, these fibers break and form scar tissue. This process leads to the formation of stretch marks which appear as slight elevations on the surface of the skin. Growth spurts at the age of eleven years in girls or thirteen years in boys often result in stretch marks due to the sudden growth in their height. Pregnancy also often results in the formation of stretch marks. As stretch marks are inherently formation of scar tissue, there is no treatment to completely remove them but some procedures can reduce their appearance. Dermatologists use chemical peels and microdermabrasion to enhance wound healing often resulting in reduced appearance of stretch marks. They can also be faded with laser treatments where the collagen synthesis is activated in skin cycle. Topical applications of creams and lotions do not often produce satisfactory results. |
