Stretch Marks
Stretch marks start off red in colour, and are lines which distribute over the skin’s surface. Over time, they mature and turn to a silvery shade. It is best to treat them when they are relatively new, in order to effectively reduce them.
Many different body shapes and sizes have these marks, it is not purely down to weight gain/loss.
They can develop at key stages of growth, for example, during puberty and pregnancy, and also develop when there is a change in diet or exercise regime.
