Get rid of stretch marks

What means stretch marks?

Stretch marks or striae (singular stria), as they are called in dermatology, are a form of scarring on the skin with an off-color hue.

Stretch marks are caused by tearing of the dermis, which over time may diminish, but will not disappear completely.

They are often the result of the rapid stretching of the skin associated with rapid growth. Stretch marks may also be influenced by hormonal changes associated with puberty, pregnancy, muscle building, hormone replacement therapy for transsexuals, etc. - Wikipedia
