STRETCH MARKS (STRIAE)

Stretch marks are narrow, thin lines on the skin, most commonly found parallel to each other, caused by rupture of of dermis fiber tissue. If stretch marks occur during pregnancy, they are called striae gravidarum, as well as atrophic stretch marks, white lines, or simply stretch marks. They often appear when the skin rapidly stretches due to growth, pregnancy, or significant weight changes. Stretch marks can also occur due to hormonal changes during adolescence, pregnancy, or hormone replacement therapy, among other reasons.

WHY DO THEY APPEAR?

During mechanical stretching in areas that stretch the fastest, such as the abdomen, chest, and thighs, the skin tissues can rupture. Initially, they appear as red, bluish, or purplish lines. Stretch marks occur in the layer of skin that helps maintain its shape, so when the tissues tear and stretch marks form, there is a noticeable indentation and softer skin. Stretch marks can occur anywhere on the body, but most commonly appear in localized areas of adipose tissue: around the abdomen, especially near the navel, breasts, upper arms, armpits, back, thighs, hips and buttocks.

FACTORS AFFECTING THE OCCURRENCE OF STRETCH MARKS

Stretch marks and, most importantly, their severity are associated with a woman’s age, high body mass index, and large fetal weight. Adolescents also have a significant risk of developing stretch marks. In many cases, hormonal factors influence the development of stretch marks by suppressing fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin synthesis needed to maintain the elasticity of rapidly growing skin. When collagen and elastin synthesis decreases, the skin lacks support, its resilience decreases, and the tissue tears as the skin stretches.

PREVENTIVE MEASURES

During pregnancy, between 75% and 90% women develop stretch marks of varying degrees. They usually occur in the course of 6-7 month, in the third trimester, when the skin undergoes the ultimate tensile strength. A range of oils, creams, lotions are suggested in order to prevent stretch marks, however, the occurrence of stretch marks, their externalization is also influenced by genetic and hormonal factors as well dispersion properties of fat tissue and dermis fiber.

REMOVAL OF STRETCH MARKS

Stretch marks do not cause any discomfort, however, they are aesthetically unattractive for those who have them. Treatment by Retinoids and AHA acids ensure only local effect. Both cosmetic and professional means that have a local effect cannot reduce the already formed, visible stretch marks.
