Up to 90% of pregnant women get stretch marks during pregnancy, usually during the third trimester and sometimes earlier. It can be due to genetics, excessive weight gain in a short period or overly dry and stretching skin. They affect women of all ages, sizes and ethnic backgrounds. They affect men, adolescents and non-pregnant women as well.
Stretch marks or striae are a form of scarring caused by tearing in the dermal layer of the skin.
The most common sites to be affected by stretch marks include the abdomen, breasts, thighs or buttocks. Stretch marks are often the result of the rapid stretching of the skin associated with weight gain (e.g. pregnancy, obesity) or rapid growth (e.g. puberty) or sickness (e.g. cushing’s disease). They usually emerge as purple or reddish marks that fade to shallow gray or white scars.

Several clinical trials demonstrated Remescar Stretch Marks’ efficacy. There were several measuring points that were taking into account in the studies (one after 28 days and one after 56 days). One of these studies showed that 30% of the patients has a decrease in appearance of 50%.
