Stretch Marks Theory

 

Stretch marks are fine lines on the body that occur from tissue under your skin tearing from over-stretching or rapid growth and are a normal part of puberty for most people.  They are usually several centimeters long and several centimeters long, generally associated with obesity, pregnancy, and can develop during rapid muscle growth from bodybuilding.

We know that we all are liable to it and indeed ninety percent of pregnant women, seventy percent of adolescent females, and forty percent of the male population is being laid low with it.  What I am talking about are stretch marks but even though most of us really are susceptible and already are full of it, we still could not pinpoint what really are the factors of them to appear on our bodies.

Save for, through the years, there have been many theories and speculations as to why we have stretch marks that even no matter how much we agitate our skin, it sounds like they are unavoidable and are certain to happen.  Here are the known theories as to why they think we are being plagued by stretch marks.

Known or Possible Causes

Stretch marks are fine lines on the body that occur from tissue under your skin tearing from over-stretchingThe only theory that somehow was said to be logical especially when it comes to explaining the formation of stretch marks in our bodies is that when we get our skin stretched up to the point where the cells are already breaking down, they develop because of the dramatic increase in the mass of the tissue.  The real stretch marks develop in the middle layer of our skin, or which is known to be the elastic layer, that is called the dermis.

It was said that the dermis is made up of fibers that is commonly known as the collagen that allow your skin to stretch and then shy away into shape and if this layer of skin continues to stretch over a lasting, elasticity breaks down and the skin tries to remedy the problem by increasing the volume of collagen in the over stretched area.  This would then create the scars that we see on different parts of our bodies especially on the underarms, abdominal area, hips, and others because they are shown through the surface of the skin, which is called the epidermis.

There were also some circumstances that lead our parts of our bodies to stretch and have these so-called scars to appear on the surface of the skin.  One of which is pregnancy, which we all know enables us to have a large abdomen when we are carrying the baby but dramatically decrease its volume after we deliver.

Another circumstance wherein we also could have stretch marks is right after we lost some unwanted pounds especially those that were dramatic. Therefore, if you are wondering, you now know that this is why it is always best to not just go on a diet once you are trying to lose some weight, but also hit the gym to create muscles and tone your body.  This would somehow prevent you from having stretch marks.
