Getting Rid of Stretch Marks Isn't Impossible
Stretch marks are a form of scarring that can occur when a person’s skin is overstretched. Stretch marks have the initial appearance of purple or red looking lines. Over time, they will fade until they are pale in color.
The two main causes of stretch marks are pregnancy and obesity. Many people will get stretch marks at one time or another. A large percentage of the population has been overweight or pregnant at some time in their lives! It's not just women who get stretch marks, either. Few people realize that they are a common complaint of male body builders as well.
Fortunately, there are some very effective scientific remedies available to treat stretch marks. Following is some information on the top three methods of treating this problem.
1. Dermabrasion. General anesthesia is required when you undergo this kind of stretch mark surgery. Dermabrasion is useful for reducing the visibility of abnormalities on your skin such as sun damage, dark spots and scars. In this procedure, the surface of your skin is sanded off using special equipment.
This procedure is most effective is the scar is raised above the skin's surface. For the treatment of sunken scars, though, it's not nearly as effective. The procedure is very painful and the healing process can take several months. However, the results can be truly amazing.
2. Microdermabrasion. Popularly known as microderm, this treatment is much less invasive. You can easily undergo this procedure at any number of convenient providers, and you won't need an anesthetic to dull the pain. It involves removing the surface layer of the skin by using a special wand with a roughened surface to lightly sand the skin. Microdermabrasion enjoys a reputation as a painless treatment that is perfectly safe.
3. Creams and lotions. There are hundreds of products marketed these days that claim to prevent or eliminate stretch marks. Creams and lotions containing Vitamin A, cocoa butter or an assortment of other ingredients are highly popular.
Some of these products have a lot of research behind them and can be quite effective at reducing the appearance of stretch marks. Some of the more effective treatments for stretch marks are Trilastin, Revitol and NuVectin. Keep in mind that these products are generally more effective at preventing stretch marks than eliminating them.
Use caution, though, because some of these products don't get rid of stretch marks as effectively as they claim to. It's important that you read some independent customer reviews on any stretch mark product before you buy it. Search the internet, and look for sites that aren't tied to the product being sold. Be sure to investigate the manufacturer's website and research the source of their product claims if you can.
