Treatments for Stretch Mark Removal
/No one enjoys seeing stretch marks on their own body day after day. The stretch marks may be in a more unexposed area like your chest, or they may be on a very visible part of the body, like your arms. Wherever they appear, they become a form of self consciousness for many people, especially women.
It has been shown that lots of men and women tend not to do anything about their stretch marks, because they think that nothing can get rid of them. They are just an untreatable scar. The truth is there are many stretch mark removals available today.
The easiest, cheapest way to start is to try different creams. Creams such as cocoa butter or other natural vitamin E products will increase your skin’s flexibility. There are also creams that will improve the regeneration of your cells, such as Vitamin A or AHAs creams. You can also talk to your doctor about getting a prescription stretch removal cream.
In some cases, creams are not strong enough to help with stretch mark removal. Another way to remove stretch marks is through stretch mark removal surgery. Depending on the color of your stretch marks, there are many kinds of lasers available. There is a chemical peel, a surgery that uses a black light and gel, and even one that simply scrubs away the layers of damaged skin.
The most expensive, but often the most effective way to go is through laser surgery. This laser surgery is done over a period of time, and can include many, many sessions, depending on how long it takes for your skin to react to the treatments. The cost of one session can be upward of $500. Unfortunately, this surgery does not work on every kind of stretch mark. It can only detect stretch marks that still have their red or brown coloring, not the more flesh colored stretch marks.
Remember, there’s no need to get upset or depressed if you develop stretch marks. There are many solutions and remedies. You just have to find the one that works for you.
