3 Causes Of Stretch Marks And How They Can Be Treated

Damage to the skin’s connective tissues and collagen/elastin fibres causes stretch marks, which appear as a faint ridge or narrow band once the skin has healed.

According to Healthline, the organic chemical component generated by the adrenal gland that produces the skin pigmentation, which forms the narrow band known as “stretch marks”, is more prevalent in pregnant women, persons who gain weight quickly, those who use corticosteroid-containing creams, and those with difficulties with the adrenal glands.

In this article on EKO HOT BLOG, we will look at some causes and solutions to stretch marks on the body.

That some people are predisposed to developing stretch marks while others are not is often due to a genetic predisposition.

Second, the severity of the stress and pressure on the skin is a contributor to the appearance of stretch marks.

Third, an increase in the hormone cortisol, an organic chemical molecule with a common name, causes stretch marks to become more visible on the skin, as it is this hormone that causes the narrow bands of healed or mended connective tissues to emerge on the skin. Stretch marks are less common in people with lower amounts of the hormone.

Solutions to the problem of visible stretch marks.

To begin, you can use tretinoin cream on your stretch marks. The collagen is repaired as a result. It’s best to acquire the opinion of a medical expert before deciding whether or not to use the cream.

Your doctor may propose pulse dye laser therapy, but they will inform you of the risks, including the possibility of skin discolouration, that may occur after the procedure.

The second approach involves the use of an excimer laser, which helps stretch marks blend in with the skin’s normal tone by encouraging the skin’s cells to produce or secrete more melanin.

Fractional photothermolysis can be used to remove stretch marks by targeting the little patches of skin where they are present without causing damage to the skin cells themselves.
