What are stretch marks?

Striae cutis atrophicae or striae cutis distensae (from Latin Striae = to stretch, cutis = skin, atrophicae = atrophic, distensae = stretched). Stretch marks are also called Striae gravidarum.

Stretch marks occur in the dermis – the elastic middle layer that helps the skin maintain its shape. No stretch marks will form as long as the skin is supported by the dermis. Stretching of the skin plays a bigger role in where stretch marks occur than in which direction they run. Stretching alone is not the cause of stretch marks. Stretch marks can form anywhere on the body. But the areas that are most affected are of course where stretching of the skin most often occurs, whether due to obesity, rapid growth during puberty, bodybuilding or pregnancy.

The real cause of stretch marks is that the skin does not have time to form enough collagen and elastin fibers to keep up with the rapidly growing mass under the skin. The connective tissue in the dermis cannot keep up when the skin is stretched, resulting in the dermis tearing, and thus a stretch mark is formed.

What do stretch marks look like?
Stretch marks appear as reddish or purple lines on the skin. Most pregnant women who experience stretch marks find that they fade to a lighter color after giving birth.
When do you get stretch marks? Up to 75% of all women develop some degree of stretch marks during pregnancy (Striae gravidarum). The increased hormonal levels resulting from pregnancy mean that stretch marks can usually appear in the 6th or 7th month of pregnancy, which is the time when the skin is stretched the most.
Why do you get stretch marks on your thighs/back? It's the same as what you experience during pregnancy, if you grow faster than your skin can keep up. Either during your growing years or during a rapid increase in weight, both through strength training and being overweight.

So they are partly due to physical factors such as stretching of the skin and partly due to hormonal factors, where steroids from the adrenal glands, estrogen and relaxin affect the skin's elastic fibers. That's why they are often seen in young people.

When do stretch marks turn white?
New stretch marks become lighter over time, often they can almost disappear within 6 months of their formation.

How do you get rid of stretch marks?

Can you remove stretch marks? There is no treatment that has been documented to remove stretch marks once they have appeared. NONE! It is you, my many followers, who say that you have almost removed your stretch marks with a mixture of Raz Skincare Repair and Raz Skincare Vitamin E that you apply, both when they first appear and subsequently for up to 6 months after giving birth.

How to avoid stretch marks?
Physical activity and exercise counteract excess weight and help tighten the skin. Regular exercise and training may make stretch marks less visible.
How to avoid stretch marks during pregnancy? The best thing you can do is to avoid being overweight before pregnancy and try to avoid significant weight gain during pregnancy. There is no treatment during pregnancy that has been proven effective.

Numerous creams, balms, oils such as Raz Skincare Vitamin E and Repair are used in attempts to prevent stretch marks. However, studies have not been able to demonstrate a 100% sure effect of these treatments on stretch marks.

Can you get tattoos on stretch marks?
Yes, you can, it's called a cosmetic tattoo. Cosmetic tattoos are used to camouflage damaged skin that has lost its natural pigment. Such tattoos can be made over scars and stretch marks, but the visibility of stretch marks, varicose veins and larger burns can also be reduced by a cosmetic tattoo.
Are stretch marks hereditary? The tendency to develop stretch marks is hereditary, so you have a greater tendency to develop stretch marks if your mother also has stretch marks, for example.

Stretch mark treatment – ​​these are the products you should use

If you get stretch marks – they are here to stay. There are no proven creams that heal stretch marks. Certain laser treatments have proven effective. But they are very expensive and there is no guarantee. There is currently no proven treatment for stretch marks that removes them.

Yet you, the users of my products, write again and again that you mix Repair and vitamin E together, and massage it into your stretch marks morning and night – and you supposedly get the most amazing results. This makes sense if the stretch marks are new, but on the other hand, new stretch marks will always become less visible over time.

Finally, keep up the good work with vitamin E and Repair.

When will I see improvements in my stretch marks?

If your stretch marks are brand new you will see improvement within 6 months. You should keep the entire area out of the sun for the first year, this also makes the stretch marks less visible.

I have collected the products that you tell me you use at a good price.
