White Stretch marks treatment At Lower Price
White stretch marks are coloured lines or streaks that appear on your skin from weight gain or growth. They are essentially tears on the skin but aren’t an indication of a health issue.
Stretch marks often begin as red or purple marks, and slowly fade to white or silver over time. The difference in colour distinguishes how old the marks are.
Though they may never disappear completely, treatment can lighten the colour of your marks and shrink them. In other cases, stretch marks fade away on their own.
Newer, red-tinged stretch marks (striae rubra) are easier to treat. They begin red because blood vessels are present under the skin.
The presence of functioning blood vessels allows red stretch marks to be more responsive to treatment.
White stretch marks or striae alba are older and more difficult to treat. Over time, your blood vessels will narrow, making it hard to stimulate collagen production.
