Introduction to Stretch Marks Sound Therapy

Have you noticed any reddish, purplish streaks on your thighs, arms or even on your buttocks? Those are nasty stretch marks. They occur in your dermis – the middle layer of the skin that is responsible for elasticity. Stretch marks can appear anywhere in your body, but you’ll find them most on the parts where you can store the large amount of fat such as the abdomen, breasts, hips, thighs, butt, and even in your back.

Having stretch marks can be inevitable as they can be caused by the following:

• Pregnancy
• Rapid weight gain
• Rapid muscle build
• Hormonal changes
• Genetics

Short Description of Stretch Marks

Stretch marks refer to indented streaks that appear on different parts of the body such as the stomach, hips, buttocks, breasts and other places. They are much more common in pregnant women and more so during the 3rd trimester.

Symptoms of Stretch Marks

Stretch marks or striae do not look all the same. Common variations include:

• Indented streaks or lines on the abdomen, breasts, hips, buttocks or other places on the body
• Pink, red, black, blue or purple streaks
• Bright streaks that fade to a lighter color
• Streaks covering large areas of the body

About Stretch Marks

Stretch marks occur when the skin rapidly stretches or shrinks. They usually appear as bands of lines running across the skin. They are quite common and estimates suggest that up to 90% of people have them. They are most common during or after pregnancy, or after other sudden rapid changes in weight. The marks can appear just about anywhere but are most common in the: upper arms, breasts, stomach, thighs and buttocks. Like other scars, the marks are permanent, but generally may change or fade over time.

Etiology of Stretch Marks

Stretch marks occur due to stretching of the skin. The severity is affected by several factors including genetics and the degree of stress on the skin. The level of the hormone cortisol might also play a role. This is a hormone produced by the adrenals and can weaken the elastic fibers in the skin.

Risk Factors

• Female
• Family history
• Pregnancy
• Rapid growth in adolescence

• Use of steroids
• Breast enlargement surgery

Preventing Stretch Marks

Keeping hydrated, eating a balanced diet and getting regular exercise can help prevent stretch marks due to sudden weight gain or loss, even during pregnancy.
