How to Get Rid of Stretch Marks

Archive for August, 2011

My previous posts lack photos and some of the readers may have only a slight notion of stretch marks and can confuse them with scars or other imperfections of skin. Today I decided to change the situation and to add stretch marks pictures with comments. So, let’s start:
1. Small stretch marks, the ones, which can be totally removed with stretch marks creams or massage:

Can see nothing? Correct, because, as a rule, they can be seen only when examined very carefully. They are minor slight lines or dots in problem areas.
2. Next stage. You can get rid of stretch marks, but slight signs will be left.

3. And the most serious stage – when stretch marks are thick keloid scars, which can be removed with the help of a surgery only. You’ll never have such awful stretch marks of you take care of your skin. These scars are easier to prevent than to cure!

That’s it. Take care and be beautiful!

Stretch marks are more difficult-to-get-rid-of than cellulite, belly fat or acne scars. Why is it so? The problem is that stretch marks appear as a result of dermis tearing, so the upper layer of skin is damaged as it’s a real problem to restore it or make new cells of dermis appear in the place of the damaged ones. That’s why if you have thick and old stretch marks, you can make them smaller, but if you want to get rid of stretch marks with no signs, you’ll have to use not only creams and massage, but look for more radical methods (laser and chemical skin dermobrasia, surgeries, etc.).
When we asked our readers to write what they think about the possibility to get rid of stretch marks, the opinions divided.

As a mother of 2 kids, I can say that only a surgery is the solution, as stretch marks will never go away if you use creams or lotions only.

When I was pregnant, I noticed that small stretch marks started to appear at the bottom of the belly. I started to use Revitol stretch marks cream and they disappeared in 1, 5 a month. My luck!

I have lost 20 pounds and only then noticed in what poor condition my skin was! I have tried everything I could to get rid of stretch marks and cellulite and only coffee grounds and cocoa butter massage, combined with fitness worked.

A lot depends on the age, individual skin type (light skin is more prone to stretch marks), hormonal level, lifestyles and many other factors. No wonder, that different approaches work for different people, as only individual scheme of stretch marks treatment helps to reach good results.
