Stretch Marks

The only way to get rid of stretch marks is to effectively avoid getting them in the first place. However, for many people like pregnant women or those who have experienced extreme weight loss that is simply not possible. Stretch marks occur when your skin is stretched beyond its normal elasticity for a period of time causing the elastin and collagen in the skin to break down. For lack of a better explanation, stretch marks are scars created from the inside out. The only effective solution to treat the problem is cosmetic surgery for stretch marks.
