Body Stretch Marks<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The problem:<\/strong> Stretch marks on the abdomen, upper arms or thighs, and deep lines on the breasts, back or sides of the buttocks. They mainly appear during adolescence due to rapid growth and changes in body proportions, following pregnancy or in association with obesity. They are a clear indication of sudden weight gain or weight loss and are associated with tissue laxity and sagging. Acne scars, like post-traumatic scars, result from disruption of the continuity of the epidermis, leading to exposure of the dermis. Although the causes are different, the same phenomenon is observed in both stretch marks and scars: the destruction of the skin\u2019s architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n
