Stretch-marks are injuries of the dermis of variable length.
In reality, it is a pathological state of the connective tissue of the dermis, characterized by localized excessive fibrosis in the form of strings which is the result of the rupture and poor quality of the previously existing fibers. We could say that stretch-marks are scars of the skin tissue.
Stretch-marks appear especially and more or less frequently in the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, bust area, lumbar area, arms and legs. Women normally suffer from stretch-marks during puberty and pregnancy.
Currently there is no therapeutic treatment to completely make the stretch-marks disappear. They normally fade away over the years, until they become almost invisible.
We can try to prevent them, although only in an empirical way, with massages that stimulate the cutaneous circulation and with active ingredients that help in the synthesis of collagen and elastin.
