Latest Technology In Removing And Reducing Stretch Marks

[azt...@yeah.net]

Stretch marks have often been a reason for us to be self-conscious.
Because of these scars, our confidence level in wearing a string
bikini hits rock bottom. Anybody can relate, that is why there are
many techniques on how stretch marks can either be entirely removed or
reduced and made less noticeable.

According to doctors, stretch marks are not hazardous to one’s health.
Having them does not limit the body to function properly. In fact,
stretch marks are like scars. And just like scars, stretch marks are
damages to the dermis. What makes it difficult to deal with is because
they can be too dark and too ugly to look at.

Some people resort to lotion and topical creams. They diligently and
religiously apply these on the surface and hope that there will be
improvements. In some cases, there are. In others, it does not. At
least, not as much as they expected it to work.

There are so many ways on how you can remove or reduce those pesky
stretch marks. Here are some of the latest:

1. Retin-A Treatment

This is what doctors normally recommend. You cannot purchase Retin-A
without a prescription. However, this solution works best if the
stretch marks are less than a year old. For you to know when the
perfect time to try this remedy is if your stretch marks still have a
pink or reddish color. Problem is, not all stretch marks start off
with that color. There are limitations when you can use this. Do not
use Retin-A if you are pregnant and breast-feeding because this might
have a side effect on the infant. The way for you to know if the
solution is working for you is if you feel a burning and peeling
sensation on the surface you applied it on. This means that the new
generation of collagen is replacing the old damaged one.

2. Micro-Dermabrasion Treatment

In this process, chemical materials containing micro-crystals are
sprayed on the skin using a device similar to a vacuum cleaner. This
treatment required multiple sessions, normally 10 to 12 sessions in a
span of three to four months. Unfortunately, micro-dermabrasion
treatment is brutally painful. Some who tried this said that it was
similar to being lashed and whipped. The process may also create
additional scars. After one session, you are not allowed to go
directly
