Stretch Marks & Skin Elasticity
Stretch marks appear when the skin stretches faster than its elastic fibres can adapt, during growth, pregnancy, or weight change, causing the underlying connective tissue to tear. They start reddish or purple while inflammation is active, then fade to lighter, silvery lines as they mature. Skin repair and collagen renewal follow your circadian rhythm, so healing is supported by rest and hydration.
Who this applies to
Stretch marks are extremely common and completely normal across all body types and skin tones. Newer, still-reddish marks generally respond better to care than older, faded ones, and no method removes them entirely. Realistic goals focus on improving texture and appearance rather than complete erasure.
My recommendation
Total Beauty Care by Silde is now a fully online practice, so this page is guidance rather than a bookable in-person service. The best starting point is a Circadian Skin Analysis, a written report that assesses your skin type, triggers, and daily rhythm and gives you a targeted plan for improving the texture and appearance of stretch marks realistically. Digital guides and recommended products will be added here as they are released.
