Most of these stretch mark removal treatments are designed to stimulate the production of collagen, which is a naturally-occurring substance in the human body that is responsible for attractive, healthy-looking skin. The body produces less and less collagen with age, which is part of the reason why stretch marks develop. When collagen production increases, the level of skin fullness increases also. This gives the skin a fuller, healthier appearance. It will also help reduce the appearance of those unwanted marks on the skin.
