Not necessarily—appearance can be reduced with treatments.
Overview
Stretch marks are a type of scar that form when the skin stretches or shrinks more rapidly than it can adjust. This sudden change causes the collagen and elastin fibers within the skin to tear, leading to visible lines that may appear red, purple, or white. Common during pregnancy, puberty, rapid weight fluctuations, or muscle growth, stretch marks are a normal and harmless skin concern. While they often fade over time, professional treatments can help improve their texture, colour, and overall appearance for smoother, more even-looking skin.
