Stretch marks are visible lines on the skin surface with an off colour hue, they are mostly found in the abdominal wall but can also occur over the thighs, upper hand and breast.Sometimes stretch marks can cover large areas of the body.

The skin consists of three main layers: Epidermis (the outer layer), Dermis (the middle layer) and subcutaneous or Hypodermic (the deepest layer). Stretch marks form in the dermis or middle layer of the skin when the connective tissue is ‘stretched’ beyond the power of its flexibility due to rapid expansion or contraction of the skin, as the skin is stretched the collagen is weakened and its normal production is interrupted and damaged thereby a stretch mark is born. Stretch mark appear on the skin surface when someone grows quickly or puts on weight quickly.
