Stretch marks<\/a> after weight loss are common, especially if someone loses a substantial amount of fat. But how can you get rid of stretch marks while slimming down? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am going to share some methods that have worked for me. So, without any further ado, let\u2019s explore all the possible ways of reducing stretch marks with some easy remedies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a Stretch Mark?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A stretch mark is an irregular mark on our skin that looks like a stripe, band, or line. Usually, red or white-colored stretch marks appear as a group on some common areas such as the hips, abdomen, buttocks, arms, breasts, and other parts of the body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The medical terms it\u2019s known as are striae (striae distensae; striae atrophicus). Though stretch marks can appear any time at any age, it usually appears when you lose or gain excess weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"Get<\/a>\n\n\n\n

Why Losing Weight Gives you Stretch Marks?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The excess skin after a massive, rapid weight loss, goes through some amount of stretching and tearing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the majority of stretching happens when you gain weight rather than when you lose weight. As your skin stretches, the marks are not visible that much when they occur. When you lose weight, and the skin shrinks, the marks become visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multiple factors can determine if you will get stretch marks after losing weight. Your hormones and genetics are some important factors that play vital roles in getting stretch marks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most common scenarios that cause stretch marks are massive weight gain and loss, rapid muscle gain and loss, childbirth, and pregnancy. In all of these scenarios, the skin gets stretched so fast that the underlying connective tissues raptures. This is why losing weight gives you stretch marks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
