Why do stretch marks appear?
Stretch marks are a type of scar that develops when your skin stretches rapidly. This sudden change causes the collagen and elastin fibres that support your skin to tear. As your skin heals, these marks may appear as silvery or reddish lines.
Not everyone develops these narrow bands. Fluctuating hormone levels play a significant role, and your risk is higher if stretch marks run in your family. While completely natural, we understand they can also affect your confidence in your own skin.
Understanding your nutritional needs during puberty and pregnancy can also help reduce the likelihood of stretch marks forming. With her clinical experience, Nuala offers preventative guidance and tailored solutions to help support your skin before concerns arise.
When stretch marks commonly develop
You’re most likely to notice stretch marks during:
- Growth spurts in puberty
- Pregnancy: when your body does something extraordinary
- Rapid weight gain
- Weight training with rapid muscle growth
- Use of steroids or certain medications to increase muscle bulk
- Nutritional deficiencies
Each mark reflects your body’s remarkable ability to adapt. With the right treatments, your skin’s natural smoothness can re-emerge.
