Why do
stretch marks appear?
Stretch marks are skin lesions with the appearance of stripes or fine lines that can appear following pregnancy, rapid weight gain or loss, or during growth.
When the stretch mark is recent, it is said to be in an inflammatory phase and will have a red or purplish appearance. It is when the stretch mark is in this phase that treatments to diminish its appearance will be most effective. When the stretch mark is white and atrophic, it is in its scarring phase.

How to prevent their appearance?
Prevention is important, because there is no miracle solution to make them disappear! Good skin hydration is essential. We must favor soft products for the skin to preserve the hydrolipidic film that protects the fibers.
As soon as red stretch marks appear, applying natural oils (Argan, sweet almond…), shea butter or Aloe Vera can help reduce their appearance.
Possible treatments for stretch marks
Aside from topical creams, fractional and multipolar radiofrequency treatments (Venus Viva, Venus Legacy) may be the most effective alternative for treating stretch marks. Although these types of resurfacing treatments do not erase stretch marks, they can help improve their appearance by stimulating fiber synthesis in the dermis. As part of the normal healing process, elastic and elastin fibers will be significantly increased, resulting in a firmer and smoother skin appearance.
