What Causes Stretch Marks?

Stretch marks are caused when the skin is overstressed in a very short period of time. Usually this stressing of the skin occurs during rapid weight gain or loss. When the skin becomes stressed too quickly, the collagen and elastin (the building blocks of the skin) are broken down. Damaging the collagen and elastin leads to the textural and color changes in the skin that we commonly know as stretch marks.

Stretch marks (also known as "striae) occur in up to 90% of women (and some men as well) and are genetically linked. Some individuals are more likely than others to get stretch marks because of inherited defects in the skin tissue.
