Stretch Mark Treatment

Stretch marks, or striae, are a common skin concern caused by rapid stretching of the skin due to pregnancy, weight fluctuations, growth spurts, or hormonal changes. While they are harmless, many seek treatment to improve their appearance and restore skin texture.

Causes of Stretch Marks:

Pregnancy and childbirth
Rapid weight gain or loss
Puberty-related growth spurts
Hormonal changes
Long-term use of corticosteroids
