Pregnancy is a happy event in a womans life. But the joy is marred by stretch marks. A large number of women are upset over them. These marks are commonly formed on the arms, legs, breasts, and abdomen. Oh! How ugly they look! If only there was a cure for them!

The Truth About Stretch Marks

Pregnancy stretch marks are not a disease. They are perfectly normal. They occur due to the overstretching of skin. This tears off the collagen from the skin, forming purple or red marks on the dermis layer of the skin. Later, they change into silverish and fade.

However, in a world that showers undue attention to physical appearance, these tell-tale signs of pregnancy become a hindrance to looking good. The desire to have a flawless skin has made many a woman try whatever lotion for scars comes their way. This is not to disappoint you, but the fact is that no treatment has been developed yet that eliminates the marks 100 percent.

But yes, there are hundreds of scar removal methods that minimize the marks so effectively that they become invisible to the naked eye. Besides home remedies, popular medical intervention includes lazer treatment, dermabrasion, and others.

Fighting Stretch Marks

The best person to contact is a dermatologist or surgeon. Many doctors prescribe topical gels such as isotretinoin, tretinoin, and adapelen. However, these are for severe cases. Surgery is found to be the most reliable in removing marks. However, you need to consider your financial condition before going for this treatment, as they are expensive. Besides, you need to devote a lot of time. In addition, the effectiveness of treatment depends on the kind of marks you have, your age, and diet.

If you do not wish to go under the knife, your doctor can recommend a lotion or cream that will induce the fading of marks or increase the elasticity of skin in due course of time.

Preventing Stretch Marks

If you eat a balanced diet and exercise regularly, then you will not have to suffer from the dilemma of a marked skin after pregnancy period. Water keeps your skin supple whereas caffeine dehydrates it. Now, you know what to choose, right?

Consuming foods that directly affect the skin positively is a good idea. Food such as nuts and fish are rich in zinc; eggs are rich in protein; these are healthy for your skin, so include them in your food plate. Plenty of salads and fruits in the diet right from the beginning prevent the formation of stretch marks effectively.

Alter your eating style and watch stretch marks pack their bags!

Non-Surgical Treatments for Stretch Marks

Stretch marks have been a burden on people of all ages and sizes. It is an unwanted skin condition that most people try to hide or desperately remove. There are, however, a few techniques that can be used to fade their apparence or eventually eliminate the problem all together.
Laser Surgery for Stretch Marks
Laser treatments are a highly popular stretch mark fading option because they are outpatient interventions that have little or no recovery period associated and cost considerably less than an average tummy tuck. However, since lazer treatments just reduce pigmentation but don’t really eliminate stretch marks, this alternative doesn’t actually work.
Since the lazer used in these interventions responds to dark colors only, lazer surgery is efficient mainly in the early stages, when stretch marks are dark red or purple. When stretch marks have already faded, lazer surgery won’t be as useful as it intended to be. In the other hand, patients with fair complexion and shallow lesions respond best to lazer stretch mark removal.

Blue Light Therapy for Stretch Marks
Blue light therapy is generally most often referred to as a way to erase tattoos. Although that may be what it is best known for, blue light therapy was invented to treat a variety of pigmentation conditions, such as freckles and hyper pigmentation, varicose veins, spider veins and rosacea. Blue light therapy works by applying a photosensitive gel to the skin, and then a series of intense light bursts are irradiated or ‘zapped’ over the patch with the tattoo or pigmentation. Similar to lazer procedures, blue light therapy may be able to hide the appearance of stretch marks, but will not eliminate them.
Stretch Mark Chemical Peel
Skin peels are chemical peels that are applied to an area (usually the face) to intentionally ‘burn’ then peel off the top layer of skin to treat acne, zits and fine lines. After a chemical peel the skin looks (and feels) like you’ve experienced sunburn. Chemical peels are being commonly used in spas, salons and can be acquired over the counter.
The prime reason for the extended fame of skin peels is that it produces immediate results making skin look younger, healthier, and firmer. Some people are now using skin peels to reduce or get rid stretch marks, too. However, since the peels do not eliminate the actual stretch marks, subsequent peels may required to be done every six months or so to maintain the smoothness of the skin. Ideally, this procedure must be accompanied by skin care treatments to alleviate irritation.
Exfoliation for Stretch Marks
Exfoliation is a process using a mild abrasive (ground apricot seeds or sand, for instance) that helps eliminate devitalized skin cells. The soft new skin that shows after exfoliation may improve the look of the skin. Similar to skin peels, exfoliation doesn’t eliminate stretch marks, but may improve their look for a period of time after treatment.
Creams and Ointments
A good skin care cream or ointment (such as scar serums) may help to reduce and soften the look of stretch marks, specially if used regularly for the first few months after baby is born. By keeping the skin moisturized and flexible, creams and skin serums can help the skin naturally heal the scarring caused by stretch marks.
