Stretch marks · Myth/PAA
Can stretch marks turn into scars? they are a form of dermal scarring
In plain speech people separate “stretch marks” and “scars.” Clinically, stretch marks are a type of scarring in the dermis. They do not usually morph into a surgical-looking line.
Language vs biology
Striae are dermal tears/healing patterns. Different from a knife scar — but both involve scar-like tissue behaviour for pigment.
Why the question matters
People ask because they want removal. Tools differ by colour stage — purple vs white.
Real results and real moments
Cover path
Stretch mark camouflage for mature white marks — colour blend, not rename-as-gone.
