Stretch marks
Stretch marks are localised on the skin's tension areas. In women, they are found on the hips, buttocks, thighs and abdomen in particular. In men, they are located in the lower back, on the buttocks and stomach.
A word from the experts
The most common causes of stretch marks are
- Mechanical effects (weight gain, pregnancy, weight loss, muscle exertion, etc.) that causes connective tissue rupture
- Growth in adolescence, with a significant increase in size in certain body regions.
It is known that, as a result of these various causes, there is an initial inflammatory reaction leading to the destruction of elastic and collagen fibres.
