Surgical and Non-Surgical Treatments to Eliminate Stretch Marks
Stretch marks are formed in the deeper layers of the skin. They are formed when the dermis (middle skin layer) is unable to maintain its shape and elasticity. This normally happens during puberty, pregnancy or when we gain or lose weight at a rapid pace. This makes our skin to overstretch in a short period of time. This causes the connective fibers to break, disrupting the production of collagen.
The good news is that anyone that is prone to stretch marks is able to find treatment suited for their particular case. Treatment will depend upon your spending budget and the time you are willing to spend on getting rid of your marks. Pain is another factor, as most treatments for stretch marks require downtime or several invasive scar removal sessions.
