50 to 90% of pregnant women develop stretch marks. Of course, pregnancy is not the only cause, nor is this a problem for women, men also suffer from stretch marks.
Understanding the stretch
Striations are the result of the breakdown of elastic fibers in the skin. When the skin is stretched with less elastic fibers break creating the brands we call stretch marks. Initially striations are colored red and then finally pinkish white. Stretch is basically a reflection of the separation of the skin.
The skin does not hurt to stretch, sometimes can cause a burning sensation or light touch. Striations are more common in the abdomen, but also appear on the thighs, buttocks (pompis), hips, bust and arms.
Because they produce stretch
The causes of stretch marks are varied. The skin is stretched to accommodate the increase in the volume of the body. The skin is very elastic and can tolerate the stretch but this is very large and in a short period of time. But the skin has a limit when this limit is reached the deeper layers of skin are broken. This rupture can be seen in the outer layers of the skin. This is what we know as stretch marks.
The loss of collagen and elasticity of the skin causes stretch marks, lines of speech, loss of skin tone and wrinkles. When there is a loss of elasticity and collagen or excessive stretching of skin stretch marks appear.
