So what exactly are stretch marks? It is vital to understand that Stretch marks are tiny ruptures that form just under the tissue that aids to support the skin and it is what helps it stretch. These ruptures in the skin are from the inside and work their way to the surface and are basically scars. Most of the time, they are purplish red lines that show in overstretched skin.

There are many different skin care treatments for stretch marks, from over the counter creams to laser surgery.

A good skin care cream will contain collagen; a natural substance that is found in your skin that confers it elasticity. As your body grows, collagen is depleted and you may get stretch marks. When collagen is added to these creams, your skin absorbs the collagen and tightens. This can reduce the risk of forming stretch marks. In this respect, the claims that collagen enhances stretch marks holds true.

Another alternative that is used to get rid stretch marks is laser treatment. The laser is used to burn away all tissue and skin that is affected by stretch marks. It is however important to note that this alternative is highly expensive and often more than one treatment is needed in order for it to be effective. Laser stretch mark removal works best in the first stages when the lesions are darkest because the laser responds better than it does in the latter stages when the scars are lighter.

Stretch marks can make anyone feel self-conscience. For some, they are an inevitable part of life and for others they are a continual source of anxiety. Those people who want to eliminate the unsightly blemishes will do just about anything to clear up their skin.
