About Stretch Marks

Stretch marks are a type of thin, flattened scar. Although the cause for the development of stretch marks is not fully understood, it is thought to be due to changes in the skin induced by hormonal changes. Then, mechanical stretching of the skin which is associated with rapid growth or weight change will cause the skin to rupture. The results are stretch marks.4

The different types of stretch marks

Striae Distensae is the generic term for stretch marks, but there are several different classifications:

Striae Gravidarum

are stretch marks that occur due to pregnancy.

Striae Rubra

are early red stretch marks.

Striae Alba

are mature, white and depressed stretch marks.

About stretch marks
Stretch marks are a type of thin, flattened scar.
No stretch marks.
In the early stages stretch marks appear slightly raised with a pink to red colour.
Over time they develop a slight purple tinge.
They eventually become white and depressed with finely wrinkled lines.

Stretch marks are two and a half times as frequent in women.

Consensus studies show that stretch marks affect between 60 and 70 % of pregnant women.6
