Stretch Marks Happen – But You Don’t Have to Keep Them.
Stretch marks, or striae, are narrow streaks or lines that appear on the skin when it stretches or shrinks quickly. This sudden change causes the collagen and elastin—key proteins that support skin structure—to rupture. As the skin heals, these tears show up as marks that may start out red, purple, or dark brown and gradually fade to a lighter, silvery tone over time.
While stretch marks are medically harmless, they can be a source of emotional discomfort or self-consciousness for many people. Their appearance may improve naturally over time, but they rarely disappear completely without targeted treatment.
There are several factors that can contribute to the formation of a stretch marks:
Stretch marks develop due to a mix of structural, hormonal, and genetic factors. Rapid skin stretching like during pregnancy, puberty, or weight changes can tear collagen and elastin fibres, leaving visible streaks. Hormonal shifts, especially increased cortisol, further weaken the skin’s support system. Genetics also play a role, making some people more prone to stretch marks regardless of body type or lifestyle.
