Stretch Mark Healing Techniques
By Charles Kassotis, Thu Dec 8th
Stretch marks are a common dermatological problem for men andwomen. A stretch mark is actually a scar. They occur when ourskin needs to be stretched too quickly and the inner layer ofthe skin, the dermis, tears. Some examples might be, a suddenweight gain, pregnancy or puberty, during growth spurts, evensudden weight loss, in some cases can leave stretch marks. Thenormal production of the major protein that makes up theconnective tissue in our skin, collagen, is disrupted. Our skinis stretched thin and loses its elasticity. At first, due to thedilation of capillaries, the may appear pink orred-colored. While trying to heal the wounds, the production ofcollagen is increased in the overstretched tissue, resulting inthe familiar scars. A lot is said about the prevention ofstretch marks, but what can we do to remove them if they arealready formed? Can we get rid of them? Or should we just learnto live with them? Let's take a look at some of our bestoptions: --In the early stages, when are stillpinkish, apply several moisturizing creams and oils to make themless intense while they are maturing. Massage the area dailywith body oil. Olive oil is said to be the best. Vaseline alsoworks, any cream rich in vitamin E, different types of butter,cocoa butter, coconut butter and shea butter being the best. --Micro-dermabrasion can also help. It is a skin-fresheningtechnique that helps repair skin conditions. Themicro-dermabrasion technique abrades the skin with ahigh-pressure flow of crystals, which stimulates the formationof new collagen and elastin. This causes the attenuatedepidermis to heal more effectively, making healand become much less noticeable. --You can also use medicinesknown as retinoids, which are derived from Vitamin
A. Vitamin Ais known to stimulate collagen renewal underneath the skin,healing the tears gradually. --Creams containing alpha hydroxylacids (AHAs) can be of some benefit also. AHAs are usuallyderived from fruit. They are actually fruit acids. These creamscan improve your skin texture and color by increasing cellregeneration. AHAs remove the top layer of cells causinghealthier ones to come to the surface. This will help improvethe appearance of the stretch marks. --You can also use laserlight as an expensive but effective treatment, if used duringthe early stages. Dermatologists use a pulsed dye laser to fadered marks. A new type of laser has been used more recently, thatcan fade away mature light-colored marks. This type of therapyrequires multiple treatments. Also, some pain may be involved,although it's minimal. A few patients with darker skin toneshave been reported to have some post-procedure pigmentaryalteration, which is usually temporary. --If the stretch marksappear on your belly there is a final solution, plastic surgery.During this procedure much of the skin below the belly button isremoved. in this area are also removed with theskin. These treatments may, or may not beeffective, according to your skin's complexion and the extent ofthe damage. If you are planning to take drastic measures consulta dermatologist and be informed of the cost, effectiveness ofthe preferred method and side effects, if any.
