Stretch marks are pink, red or white lines that appear on your body, especially around tummy, thighs and arms. It is commonly a post-effect after pregnancy, but women can get them even if they are pregnant or not. These marks are basically a result of skin stretching due to sudden weight gain. Hormonal changes during puberty can also cause these marks. When it comes to stretch marks removal, there are things you can do to reduce their appearance.
Using stretch marks removal creams to get rid of body marks is a common practice. There are several creams available on the market that can help reduce the marks effectively, but most of them contain retinoid, which is not suitable for pregnant or nursing women. In this case, it is better to consider natural creams like Revitol Stretch Mark Prevention. This cream is formulated using ingredients like squalene oil, vitamins A,E and D3, and grapeseed oil that are completely safe for use by pregnant or breastfeeding women.
If you can’t wait for few months to see the creams working, you can consider laser therapy. It involves using a pulsed dye laser that reduces the coloration by targeting the enlarged blood vessels. The laser beams penetrates the skin and stimulates a tightening effect. It also promotes the production of collagen. It is mostly a painless treatment, but side-effects like swelling, redness and itching are common, although they away within a week.
Another common treatment for stretch marks is microdermabrasion. In the treatment skin surface is exfoliated using microcrystals. The treatment is suitable for older stretch marks which have become white. The dead cells are removed over a number of sessions and new cells start appearing. It is also painless, but can be expensive as over six to seven sessions are needed before you see any improvement.
