Every pregnant women is susceptible to stretch marks.
They are genetic.
If your mother had problems with them when she was pregnant, chances are that you will to.
Stretch marks are a horrible reminder that you have outgrown your skin.
Luckily the cause is not obesity, it is pregnancy.
During the 9 months of pregnancy, the women is most likely to get these marks on her belly, thighs, hips, and breasts.
Younger mothers tend to suffer the most because these scars are difficult to hide when going for a day at the beach or to a nightclub.
Whichever the situation, they marks should be treated as soon as possible, and as frequent as possible.
Leading up to pregnancy, and after it has come and gone.
Before we can treat a stretch mark, we have to understand exactly what they are, and of course, which product works well.
During pregnancy, a woman grows very rapidly.
This causes small tears in the supporting layers of skin.
These tears appear to be a glossy white streak on the surface of the skin, which you can feel with your finger tips.
The lower layers of skin do not heal as well as the top.
The reason this happens is because the lower layer of skin consists of mostly collagen which is poor at healing itself.
With today's technology, many women are turning towards expensive laser removal of their stretch marks.
This can cost up to Ten-Thousand dollars.
Luckily, this expensive laser surgery is not the only treatment available.
