Scar & Stretch Marks

Stretch marks, or striae, are a form of skin scarring that forms when the dermis is stretched more than it can tolerate. They are most often a result of pregnancy, obesity, puberty, and short-term weight gain from bodybuilding and other physical activities.

Any area of the body could be vulnerable to stretch marks, but the abdomen is most often affected, followed by the thighs, hips, buttocks, lower back, arms, and chest.
