How To Get Rid Of Stretch Marks June 28th, 2008How To Get Rid Of Stretch Marks
Women and men of all ages and ethnicities have been dealing with the issue of effectively getting rid of stretch marks probably for as long as humans have been roaming the earth. Usually appearing on areas such as the stomach, arms, legs, breasts, buttocks, although they can form anywhere on the body, stretch marks are due to the extreme stretching of the skin. This excessive stretching damages the tiny fibers of collagens and elastins causing the marks to form. Appearing as "stripes" or jagged lines, stretch marks are usually red or purplish in appearance just after forming, and tend to fade to a silvery white color over time. The best time to effectively treat stretch marks is as soon as you notice the changes beginning to appear, when the fibers may not be irreparably damaged. Many people rely on regular exfoliation for minimizing the appearance of smaller stretch marks that have just formed.
The most important thing to remember about exfoliation is to always thoroughly moisturize the skin afterward. Also, using a moisturizer after every shower or bath will also help to lock in the moisture that’s needed to keep the skin supple and less prone to developing stretch marks.
How To Get Rid Of Stretch Marks: Surgical Procedures - Laser surgery: Laser surgery for getting rid of stretch marks is most effective for those that are relatively new and still reddish in color. Since lasers work by detecting the pigment in the skin, those marks that have already faded won’t be affected by the treatment. However, ongoing tests continue in the quest to develop lasers that will also work effectively on white or silver colored stretch marks. While no laser has the ability to actually repair the damaged tissue, they can still greatly improve the skin’s outward appearance.
- Tummy tuck: The tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a drastic and expensive, albeit rather effective, measure for getting rid of stretch marks on the stomach and abdomen. During this procedure, excess skin and fat are removed and the skin is then pulled taught and sutured. This type of surgery is useful for removing stretch marks located below the navel.
