Pregnant women, a prime target for red stretch marks
Stretch marks are a well-known phenomenon among pregnant women , since it is estimated that 75% of them are affected, during or just after their pregnancy, postpartum. Indeed, red stretch marks appear during a significant fluctuation in weight (rapid weight gain or loss, during key moments in life, such as pregnancy, puberty, during a somewhat drastic diet, etc.), or during significant hormonal changes. We might as well tell you that future mothers are de facto prime targets for stretch marks!
In addition, if you are expecting a baby, your body will secrete more cortisol, estrogen and progesterone, hormones essential for carrying out your pregnancy. The other point of view ? Cortisol will cause a reduction in the production of collagen and elastin, both responsible for the elasticity of the skin . Your skin therefore naturally becomes less supple, when it will have to stretch like never before! When it reaches its limits, the skin simply “cracks”, and becomes covered with stretch marks on the areas of tension: stomach, buttocks, thighs, breasts, lower back, hips are then invaded by these marks. Violet or red in a first phase which will last several months, this color reflects the recent inflammation of the dermis, the stretch marks will then whiten and resemble older scars. Not so good news, since once white, they are more difficult to dislodge. You can consider temporary solutions , such as self-tanning or tinted sunscreen, but to eliminate them completely, you may need to turn to more restrictive treatments, such as laser sessions with a dermatologist or cosmetic doctor.
