Stretch marks – medically known as striae – appear when the skin is overstretched, for example, during rapid growth in adolescence, significant weight fluctuations, pregnancy, or when taking certain medications like cortisone.

They cause irreparable tears in the dermis. The abdomen, hips, and buttocks are most commonly affected, but the breasts and upper arms can also be involved. This phenomenon occurs in both women and men. Strictly speaking, stretch marks are scars and, as such, can never be completely removed.

Therefore, the goal of various treatment approaches is to improve the appearance of stretch marks and reduce their visual impact.
