Stretch marks: Learn how to get rid of them!
Stretch marks are nothing more than..... scars, which develop on the skin when conditions "force" it to stretch and shrink at a rapid rate.
A sudden change such as pregnancy, increase or decrease of body weight, can affect the elastin and collagen that support the skin and then the stretch marks appear.
Stretch marks look like lines or streaks on the skin, which are usually initially brightly colored and then fade.

Stretch marks affect men and women of all ages, but they also seem to have a genetic predisposition.
How do stretch marks develop?
The time periods that can occur in the body are:
- During adolescence when the growth rates are high.
- During pregnancy, when the skin is stretched for obvious reasons.
- When weight gain or loss occurs at a rapid rate.
- During weight training, when there is rapid muscle growth.
- By taking certain medications.
Stretch marks do not develop all people under the same conditions.
Hormonal fluctuations seem to play a role in the appearance of stretch marks, as well as heredity. So, if the parents had stretch marks, it is very likely that one of the children in the family will also show them.
