Stretch marks,: superficial scars that develop when the dermis layer of skin is torn, may develop with rapid growth (muscle or weight related) or high hormonal levels of pregnancy. Topical treatments attempt to deliver ingredients that stimulate collagen synthesis and make scarring less noticeable: vitamin C, proline, copper-peptides, ATP. If you catch them early (still red) laser Rx can help. Good luck:)
