Stretch Marks

Stretch marks are lines or grooves that appear on the skin when it stretches or contracts rapidly and its supporting fibers are altered. At first they usually look reddish or purplish and, over time, they tend to fade.

Common areas and situations: They frequently appear on the abdomen, thighs, breasts, or arms, associated with pregnancy, weight changes, growth spurts, or hormonal variations.

What is worth knowing: They are a benign skin condition; their appearance can improve, although the result varies depending on the person and how long they have been present.

Who can guide you? The dermatologist and aesthetic medicine professionals evaluate the skin and explain the available alternatives. If their appearance bothers you, a personalized assessment helps understand which options suit your skin type.
