What is stretch marks?
-
Stretch marks are irregular, linear skin lesions that look like streaks or lines and are created when the subcutaneous connective tissue is pulled apart, causing scars in the subcutaneous tissue. Stretch marks are in fact breaks in the skin, where the top layer remains intact, but the deeper layer, which mainly contains supporting tissue, weakens and tears. Stretch marks form when the skin is stretched. It is mainly found in individuals who are growing rapidly (during the growth spurt of puberty), in individuals who are gaining weight rapidly and in pregnant women. This is due to the rapid growth of the body part in question, causing over-stretching of the skin. Stretch marks can also develop in bodybuilders from an increase in muscle tissue from intense exercise.

It usually takes several sessions to get results.
