Can You Really Get Rid Of Stretch Marks?

Yes, it’s 2019, and we’re into loving ourselves rather than obsessing over so-called flaws, so why are we out here with intel on how to minimise the appearance of stretch marks? Because while there’s absolutely nothing wrong with having them (as many of us do ), some people can still feel a bit self-conscious about their lines.

Caused by a period of rapid stretching of the skin (like, say, your teenage years, a pregnancy, or substantial weight gain), the marks are actually scars that develop when the collagen and elastin under your skin is torn apart, says US-based dermatologist Arash Akhavan, MD. The result? Patches— usually on the breast, stomach, hip, butt, and thigh areas—that look wrinkly and lined.
