Stretch marks, or striae, are a form of scarring that occurs when the skin stretches too quickly, causing the underlying collagen and elastin fibers to break. They often appear on the stomach, thighs, hips, breasts, and arms. Initially, stretch marks may look red, purple, or pink due to broken blood vessels beneath the skin. Over time, they fade to a white or silvery tone but may still have a sunken or textured appearance. While they don’t pose a health risk, professional treatments can help reduce their visibility and improve skin texture.
