What are stretch marks?
Striae are weakening and breaks in skin elasticity tissue with decreased collagen content of the dermal (deep) skin layer. These thin collagen fibers lay parallel to the top layer of the skin (epidermis) resulting in the typical linear shape. Stretch marks are usually multiple, symmetric, well-defined linear lesions initially appearing as elevated red-to-purple color lines (striae rubra) and over time, the color gradually fading into white and skin becoming atrophic with fine wrinkled appearance (striae alba).
