Stretch Marks affect the majority of the adult population. Most people past their teenage years will have them.

What is it then that these three sepeate groups have in common? Simply, it is that in each case, the skin has not been able to keep up with the growth rates of either bones, babies, or muscle. When body mass has increases quickly, the skin in these areas has been unable to keep pace. This causes the skin layers to tear slightly and as a result, stretch marks form.
There is no medical concerns in having stretch marks. Technically referred to as Straie, they are simply a sign that our bodies have changed and by and large most people live with them quite happily. In fact, in most cases the stretch marks are barely visible over the years become less and less prominent.
For some though, they can cause significant self consciousness. Because they can be clearly visible as well as covering large parts of the body, removing stretch marks can be of significant importance to many people.
Often, prevention is deemed far better than a cure. Keeping the skin nourished and healthy gives people the best chance of never even having them form, especially for pregnant women who are most likely to appreciate that they will get them. Preventing pregnancy stretch marks has become the topic for many lively discussions in pre-natal classes worldwide.
