Stretch Marks After Pregnancy – How to Treat Them Safely

Why Pregnancy Causes Stretch Marks

During pregnancy:

  • Skin stretches rapidly
  • Hormones weaken collagen
  • Elastic fibers break

This leads to visible stretch marks.


When Can You Start Treatment?

You can start treatment:

  • After delivery recovery
  • Once breastfeeding is stable (depending on treatment)

Always consult a doctor first.
