The Treatment Methods for Successful Stretch Mark Removal
If one is conscience about keeping their skin healthy and smooth, they are very aware of the threat of stretch marks. They arrive as zebra like scars with different lengths and depths. They are found in various parts of the body such as the abdomen, breasts, buttocks, legs, and upper arms. The cause of these unwanted marks is mainly the result of rapid stretching of the skin resulting from rapid growth or weight gain usually caused by puberty, pregnancy, and weight gain. The skin has a middle layer named the dermis, and after being stretched to a certain point, its elasticity breaks down which causes the stretch mark to appear.
Question is, what can be done about them?
Luckily, there are options for their treatment and here listed are a few of them.
What Are the Stretch Mark Treatment Options Out There
If you are willing to spend lots of money to solve the problem, surgery is the route to take. For the stomach there is abdominoplasy surgery, or better known as the 'tummy tuck.' It improves the appearance of the stretch marks by tightening and contouring the stomach walls which removes excess fat and skin. However the surgery is invasive and expensive with a long and probable painful recovery time.
A second option for surgery would be what's called laser treatment. The objective of this treatment is to produce new collagen in the skin by shooting cosmetic lasers into the dermal layer. The skin plumps by the collagen thickening, which then fills in the stretch mark from below. However laser treatment is really only effective for new, immature stretch marks as the improvement for more mature stretch marks doctors say is reportedly small.
A 20 to 50% improvement in the appearance of the stretch marks is a realistic expectation from using these surgical treatments.
If you automatically want to cancel out surgery, a great and effective alternative is microdermabrasion. This treatment can be carried out in a beauty spa or in the comfort of your own home with a microdermabrasion cream. The method is to wear down and eliminate the top layer of the skin by using abrading microcrystals. This in turn creates a newer and healthier skin to replace the old and damaged one. It also makes your skin more resilient by triggering collagen and elastin production.
BIOSKINEXFOL is an especially effective microdermabrasion skin care cream to improve and eliminate the appearance of stretch marks. The dermabrasion cream produces the effect of the regeneration of skin cells which then resurfaces the skin. The natural serum in this particular cream is the product of a little creature's innate immune system that supports the protective strategies of the innate immune system of human skin. The humble garden snail is that creature. Its serum when mixed with all natural ingredients triggers a truly remarkable improvement for a stretch mark treatment.
