Stretch Marks – Get Rid of Them Today
Stretch marks are one of the annoying visible lines in our body. These are commonly glossy and silvery white in color, if not reddish and/or purplish. They usually start as loose skins which feel empty if touched. Stretch marks appear when our skin have surpassed its elasticity level. This usually occurs during pregnancy, massive weight gain and extreme weight loss.
Stretch marks or Striae occur in the dermis layer of our skin where the skin’s shape is maintained. When the dermis is stretched beyond its limits, it breaks and there the stretch marks occur. Usually, these are found in the fattier parts of our body-the breasts, the upper arms, the underarms, the thighs, the navel or the upper part of the buttocks.
Because stretch marks do not really disappear but only diminish in time, some treatment have been introduced in order to speed up the reduction of its appearance. One of the least costly of these treatments is the use of ointments and creams which can be availed over the counter. Strivectin is a very important ingredient in the reduction of scar tissues and speeds up the formation of collagen in the skin. If this ingredient is contained, that product would prove to be very effective in reducing stretch marks.
Another important ingredient for over the counter treatments for stretch marks is Retin-A and other derivatives of Vitamin A. This ingredient boosts up collagen synthesis and helps in skin renewal. This ingredient works best on reddish colored stretch marks. However, with these ointments and creams, it is important to be patient as they take time before the effects become visible.
One clinical procedure known to treat stretch marks is chemical peel. This procedure is usually done on scars and the destroyed tissues of the skin. In this procedure, the top layer of the skin is peeled off to produce a new layer through collagen synthesis which leads to the healing of the scarred tissues of the skin.
Two other useful clinical procedures are laser therapy and light therapy. These procedures have the same effect as the chemical peeling, in that they peel off the top part of the damaged skin to give way to the production of a new one. However, these procedures usually entail a number of visit to the doctor and is more expensive than chemical peeling. But these are more effective than chemical peeling as they also involve the repair of the elastin which makes the silvery white stretch marks more immediately less visible.
No matter what treatment you may opt to undergo, remember that it will always be best if you consult a doctor first. As every skin is different from another, it is important to have your skin analyzed because the treatment that is effective to one skin may not be effective to another. Treating yourself may further add damage to the already damaged skin. If this happens, this would certainly entail more treatments which may be more costly and much harder to obtain.
