Abstract

Stretch marks are common lesions of the skin appearing under mechanical overstressed, observed during rapid weight, growth variations or pregnancy. Stretch marks are caused by molecular, cellular and fibrillar damages to the skin, affecting its overall organization. There is a characteristic maturation of stretch marks, which begins as striae rubrae, reversible inflammatory lesions but shift to striae albae, irreversible scars. Thus, it is important to specifically act on the prevention of stretch mark emergence.
