Understanding Striae

What are stretch marks?

Stretch marks — medically known as striae — are linear scars that form when skin stretches faster than its collagen and elastin support can adapt, disrupting the fibre structure within the dermis.

They are not just surface changes. Because they represent deeper structural damage, they rarely resolve completely without medical intervention. Common areas include the abdomen, thighs, hips, breasts, buttocks, shoulders and calves.

Root Causes

Why stretch marks form

Striae develop through a combination of mechanical stress and biological change that weakens the skin's ability to stretch.

External Factors

  • Rapid weight gain or weight loss
  • Intense muscle growth (bodybuilding)
  • Prolonged use of corticosteroids
  • Skin dehydration and barrier damage

Internal Factors

  • Puberty and growth spurts
  • Pregnancy
  • Hormonal disorders such as Cushing's syndrome
  • Genetic predisposition
  • Reduced collagen from nutritional deficiencies
Know Your Stage

Types of stretch marks

Identifying the stage is essential for choosing the right treatment plan.

Early Stage

Striae Rubrae

The red, active phase
  • Red, pink or purple in colour
  • Indicate active inflammation
  • Respond faster & better to treatment
Mature Stage

Striae Albae

The white, settled phase
  • White or silvery appearance
  • Deeper and more fibrotic
  • Need advanced collagen remodeling

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

Can stretch marks be permanently removed?
No. However, advanced dermatology treatments can reduce their appearance by 50–80%, depending on depth and chronicity.
Do stretch marks fade naturally?
Red marks may lighten over time, but white marks rarely improve without treatment.
Are stretch marks a sign of a medical condition?
Sometimes. Conditions like Cushing's syndrome or prolonged steroid use can cause severe striae.
Is laser safe for Indian skin?
Yes — when done using USFDA-approved Q-switched or fractional lasers by trained dermatologists.
