Book an Appointment-
Rapid Growth or Weight Gain
Stretch marks often occur during periods of rapid growth, such as during puberty or pregnancy, or due to significant weight gain. -
Pregnancy
The stretching of the skin during pregnancy, particularly in the abdomen and hips, is a common cause of stretch marks. -
Puberty
Adolescents experiencing rapid growth spurts during puberty may develop stretch marks on areas like the thighs, buttocks, and breasts. -
Hormonal Changes
Fluctuations in hormones, including increased cortisone levels, can contribute to the weakening of the skin's elasticity, making it more prone to stretching. -
Collagen and Elastin Depletion
The natural aging process, which leads to a reduction in collagen and elastin levels, can diminish the skin's elasticity and contribute to the formation of stretch marks.
