Although it is almost impossible to make them disappear, there are solutions to reduce them and prevent their appearance . Discover our advice and treatments for repairing stretch marks , perfect for after pregnancy!
Why Do Stretch Marks Appear on Thighs?
Stretch marks are small, unsightly streaks that appear on the skin following a rapid change in weight. It is therefore during pregnancy that the appearance of stretch marks is most common because the skin is put under severe strain. The rapid stretching of the skin causes the breakdown of elastic and collagen fibers located in the dermis, favoring stretch marks. Adolescents and men can also be affected by stretch marks on the thighs .
Why do you have stretch marks on your thighs? This area is particularly prone to volume variations. In addition to weight gain, hormonal changes also play a role in the occurrence of stretch marks.
Good to Know: Stretch marks on the thighs generally appear during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, when weight gain accelerates. In addition to the thighs, other areas are susceptible to stretch marks during pregnancy: the stomach, breasts, hips and buttocks. For good prevention, remember to adopt a care routine from the first weeks !
