Stretch Mark Removal

How people feel about their bodies greatly effects how they live their lives. Someone who thinks they have a clean, healthy figure can lead a happy life brimming with goals and success. Someone who believes they have an ugly body can descend into an existence filled with negative thoughts and unmet challenges.

Stretch mark removal can do a lot to improve how someone feels about their body. When those little cut-like scars disappear, so too does doubt, embarrassment and self-consciousness.

What are stretch marks?

Stretch marks are tares in the skin that produce an off-color hue that is recognizable against the normal color of the skin. They vary in size and depth.

What causes stretch marks?

Stretch marks are caused by dramatic stretching of the skin. This elongating of the dermis is usually the result of weight gain, either from puberty, pregnancy or bodybuilding.

What exactly is stretch mark removal?

Stretch mark removal is the practice of reducing or removing the blemishes created from stretched skin. Today, there are three methods that are considered the best when it comes to dealing with stretch marks: lotion, dermabrasion and laser treatment.

Lotion, either prescription or over-the-counter, can help heal the tears and create a new layer of skin. It effectively “fills in the cracks” of the stretch marks. Dermabrasion is a technique where the upper layers of skin are rubbed away, allowing new skin to grow back, unmarked. And lastly, lasers can be used to resurface the skin, giving the client back the body they had before they gained weight. Although the most costly, laser treatment is the most effective form of stretch mark removal.

To receive the best stretch mark removal treatment available, clients should consult a skilled, experienced skin specialist. The better the assistance, the better the results will be.
