This often happens due to rapid weight gain, pregnancy, growth spurts or hormonal changes. Stretch marks begin as red, purple or pink lines on the skin and may fade over time to a paler color, but they never completely disappear on their own.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the skin stretches beyond its normal capacity, the collagen and elastin fibers in the dermis (the middle layer of the skin) are disrupted.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a result, these fibers break and the skin may form scars which manifest as stretch marks. The appearance, size and color of stretch marks can vary depending on a person\u2019s skin type, genetics and the cause of the stretching.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Common Causes of Stretch Marks<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pregnancy A common cause, especially during the third trimester when the belly grows rapidly.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sudden changes in weight can cause the skin to stretch beyond its normal elasticity.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Puberty, menopause or the use of certain medications, like corticosteroids, can contribute to the formation of stretch marks.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some people are simply more predisposed to developing stretch marks due to their genetic makeup.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Read More:\u00a0<a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/drahmadhashem.com\/en\/ultherapy-vs-ultraformer-hifu-treatment-which-is-the-best-choice-for-you\/\">Ultherapy vs. Ultraformer HIFU Treatment: Which is the Best Choice for You?<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_Stretch_Marks\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #3366ff;\">Types of Stretch Marks<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1.
