What are stretch marks?
Stretch marks affect 80% of women and 40% of men.
Stretch marks are skin lesions caused by too sudden and too intense stretching of the elastic fibers of the skin. Stretch marks mainly appear on the stomach, thighs, buttocks and chest.
There are two types of stretch marks: red stretch marks and white stretch marks.
- Red stretch marks correspond to recent so-called “immature” stretch marks. They owe their color to the inflammatory reaction following the tearing of the collagen fibers inside the skin.
- White stretch marks are the same red stretch marks that have changed color over time. At this stage, they are called “mature” and more difficult to treat. But, it is still possible to reduce white stretch marks.
