Stretch marks are an embarrassing side effect of rapid skin
lengthening. Rapid and extensive stretching of the skin breaks down the
skin's collagen and elastin fibers faster than they can reproduce or
elongate. These fibers expand until they snap, leaving the top layer of
the skin sitting on an uneven and fragmented support structure. This is
what causes the uneven, pigmented appearance.
Stretch marks are considered to be partially caused by hereditary,
which explains why some people are more prone to developing them. No
matter how you got them or how long since they appeared on your skin,
there are ways to make them appear much smoother and more even toned.
