Stretch Marks

Also known as striae distensae, striae gravidarum, striae rubrae, striae albae

Stretch marks (striae distensae) are streaked scars that form when the dermis tears due to rapid skin stretching from pregnancy, growth spurts, weight changes, or muscle building. They result from collagen and elastin fibre disruption beneath the skin surface. Many people seek natural alternatives to expensive laser or cosmetic treatments, focusing on topical oils, collagen-boosting supplements, and skin hydration strategies.
