Stretch Marks

An Overview

Stretch Marks are difficult to remove, but the following non-surgical methods can help.

Laser Treatment for Stretch Marks – Several laser methods can be used for treating stretch marks. Laser Skin Resurfacing, can peel off a layer of skin, allowing newer and hopefully stretch-free skin to grow back in its place. Laser Skin Rejuvenation, on the other hand, does not remove skin, but helps your body create new collagen. Stretch marks form partially because they’ve lost healthy collagen and a laser procedure can help restore that. Even IPL Photofacial has proven somewhat effective for restoring collagen growth in stretch marks.

Microdermabrasion for Stretch Marks – A deep exfoliation like Microdermabrasion can do wonders on newer, more superficial stretch marks. Microdermabrasion, however, has little effect on deeper, white stretch marks.

Topical Creams for Stretch Marks – Topical Creams for stretch marks seem to be everywhere. StriVectin® might be the most popular brand available, and is often sold at medspas or used in conjunction with Microdermabrasion. Some people have found that while creams don’t completely eliminate stretch marks, they can significantly reduce the length and depth of their stretch marks.

Stretch Mark Information

Stretch marks, so many of us have them and few of us know what to do about them or how to get rid of them. Stretch marks are those fine, often silvery lines that result in over stretching the skin. When the skin is pulled too rapidly, from growth or weight gain, a stretch mark can occur. Pregnancy stretch marks can be a particular burden to new mothers. Both men and women have them and there are ways to get rid of stretch marks. Stretch mark removal is possible through Laser Treatments, Topical Creams, and Microdermabrasion. Stretch marks can be one of the most difficult skin problems to get rid of. The newer the stretch mark is the easier it is for an aesthetic expert to work with, if it’s red or purplish in color then there’s a good chance it can be removed. Silver or white stretch marks haven proven more difficult. However, stretch mark treatments can offer, at the very least, reduction if not total removal.
