================== ARTICLE START ================

Almost all human beings are conscious about their beauty and they

adopt all means to improve or maintain it. The quality of skin is

having priority in the field of beauty care. Skin is considered as

the mirror of the human body and it reflects the physical, mental and

emotional status of every person.

The number of people attending beauty clinics and dermatologists is

increasing day by day. Even though skin diseases are having low

mortality, people are worried about skin problems because of the

social stigma. A person having a disease of some internal organ may

not be worried but another person having a skin disease on the face

may be depressed because of the simple reason 'others will come to

know about my disease'.

Human skin has got several functions like protection, heat

regulation, water balance, excretion etc. It gives protection and

support to the deep body tissues and has got the ability to stretch

to some extent due to the presence of protein fibers in the dermis.

But too fast enlargement of the body parts cause excessive stretching

on the skin resulting in breaking of collagen and elastin fibers of

the dermis. This causes slightly depressed discoloration called stria

atrophia or stretch marks. Initially these marks are slightly pinkish

and later become white or silvery in appearance.

Stretch marks are found in conditions like pregnancy, puberty,

obesity etc. It is usually seen in places like abdomen, thighs,

breasts, buttocks, shoulders etc. Once these marks appear, time is

required for them to be less prominent.

Both men and women are the victims of stretch marks but it mainly

affects women due to their beauty consciousness and causes

psychological trauma leading to depression. On the other hand there

are women who are least bothered to get rid of stretch marks and

consider them as a badge of mother hood. Still the number of people

visiting clinics to remove stretch marks is increasing day by day.

Because of the increasing need for the stretch mark treatment

modalities, there are number of products in the market to deal with

stretch marks cure. But most of those products are not proved

effective scientifically but few of them give results in many cases.

Modern treatment methods like plastic surgery and laser surgery for

stretch marks have been proved effective in the treatment.
