Bio-Oil helps to increase the elasticity of the skin, thereby the possibility of new stretch marks forming is reduced. Preventing pregnancy stretch marks An estimated 75-90% of women are prone to stretch marks during pregnancy, particularly in the second and third trimesters. The likelihood of developing them varies according to skin type, race, age, diet and hydration of the skin.
