Breast Stretch Marks – What Are the Cures?

5065346694 d06ced6a70 m Breast Stretch Marks What Are the Cures?

Having stretch marks is considered a nightmare by many women. The obsession with physical beauty has made women want to look perfect in every part of their body. Certainly, having breast stretch marks can ruin that unforgiving concept of beauty. The good news is that stretch marks can be somehow avoided and, if you have the money, can be cured.

Dermatology has defined stretch marks, also called as striae, as a form of scarring on the skin caused by the tearing of the dermis, which is the middle layer helping the skin retain its original shape. Stretch marks develop when there is rapid stretching of the skin, which happens during immediate growth in early puberty or in the last stages of pregnancy. When the rapid stretching of the skin overpowers the elasticity of the dermis, causing streaks in a silvery white due to appear on the affected areas, which may be the thighs, buttocks, hips, belly, arms, and/or breasts. This means that, as long as the dermis is supported, no breast stretch marks will occur.

Thus, perhaps the best way to fight breast stretch marks is to avoid getting them. You must ensure the dermis in your chest area remains supported especially when you are experiencing weight gain due to pregnancy or some other cause. To help you do this, use an effective moisturizer, lotion or oil and massage your breasts regularly to help improve blood circulation and the elasticity of your skin. Studies have shown that regular application of Trofolastin or Verum can prevent the development of several depressed skin streaks or stretch marks. Trofolastin is a cream that contains collagen-elastin hydrolysates, vitamin E, and extracts of Centella asiatica, while Verum is yet another creams that contains elastin, hyaluronic acid, menthol, panthenol, and vitamin E. Together, these ingredients provide the supportive material that prevents epidermal and dermal tearing.

There is an ingredient found in creams, ointments, lotions, and other topical medications that claim to lighten stretch marks which you should avoid if you are pregnant or breastfeeding: Retin-A. There have been studies that associated Retin-A with risks in pregnancies. Although there is no proof that Retin-A has adverse effects on mothers who breastfeed and their babies, doctors have advised against using stretch marks solutions containing this substance. Cocoa butter, on the other hand, is one ingredient that enjoys popularity and is highly recommended.

Stretch marks first appear in a color that’s far from your skin color. They are usually born in purple, brown, or reddish color but will soon fade into gray. While stretch marks will totally disappear, breast stretch marks can be cured to lighten fast and blend with the color of your skin so that they will become less noticeable to the unknowing eye.

Some women resort to cosmetic surgery to remove their breast stretch marks. Lazer treatments and dermabrasion are some of the technological cures for stretch marks, not only in the breast area but in other areas in the body that have stretch marks.

What Are the Origins of Stretch Marks?

Who Can Have Stretch Marks?

Stretch marks are a common condition that plagues almost all women who have gone through pregnancy. In fact, statistics show that around 50 up to 90 percent of pregnant women have had it at one point in their pregnancy.

Other people may also get marks in fact, everybody is at risk for developing it. Non-pregnant women, men, children, teens going through rapid growth , weight lifters, or anyone else who experiences any form of rapid growth or extreme changes in weight may get stretch marks.

Almost all stretch marks develop on a womans abdomen starting on her sixth month of pregnancy onwards. This is when her belly is stretching in order to accommodate the growing baby inside. Thus, the skin of her belly is pushed to the limits of its elasticity.

Other women also get stretch marks on their upper arms, breasts, lower back, hips, buttocks, and thighs. These unsightly marks are usually found around the areas of the body that store the most amount of fat.

How Do Stretch Marks Arise?

When the layers of skin and the tissue beneath them are pulled and get stretched beyond their maximum capacity for expansion, the collagen structure located deep within them start to break apart. The skin actually tears so microscopic bleeding occurs.

When these tiny wounds heal, scar tissue is formed. This scar is what we commonly call stretch marks. It generally appears as thin lines that may be pink, purple, red or dark brown in color. They vary in length from as tiny as a centimetre or up to 10 centimetres.

Stretch marks are most noticeable during their early stages of formation, but as time goes by they will slowly fade away in color and turn into a few shades lighter than the surrounding skin tone.

Stretch Marks Risk Factors

There are different factors that can increase your chances of developing stretch marks. Genetics is among these factors. Your family history can give you a clue whether or not youll get marks. For instance, if your sister or mother got them during their pregnancy, youll be likely to have them yourself. Aside from genetic predisposition, other risk factors for stretch marks include the following:

- Skin color fair skin tone tend to get stretch marks more.

- Nutrition intake the proper diet will make the skin healthy and help it stretch better.

- Overall skin health dry skin is generally less elastic than firm and supple skin.

- Proportion of weight gain this also includes how rapidly you gained weight.

- Pregnancy concerns this includes whether you are having a big baby, or have twins or triplets and whether you are naturally small or if you have excessive amounts weight gain.

Practicing preventive measures will help a lot in minimizing the number and severity of marks that youll develop during and after childbirth. Keeping your skin well-hydrated before or at the start of your pregnancy will help you avoid stretch marks. Using creams and other moisturizing products will also help. You should also eat right and exercise to avoid excessive weight changes and keep your skin toned.

Skin – Stretch Marks Avoidance

By adminNo Comments
 
 
3754112617 6997ed638b m Skin Stretch Marks Avoidance

Stretch marks are not for women only. They affect many teenagers and body builders. What are stretch marks? The fine lines that change in color over a time and appear on different parts of body generally after pregnancy or after sudden weight increase are Stretch marks.

Skin care and stretch marks formation-

Stretch marks don’t form only because the skin stretches during certain periods. Let us look at this carefully. Most of the women believe that they get stretch marks because of their body expanding during pregnancy. This is true, but please note that the marks that you see in your skin get formed when the skin does not stretch and therefore tears. This not stretching of skin is believed to be because of certain hormones. These hormones don’t allow the dermis to make more collagen and elastin. If the skin had made enough collagen and elastin to support the stretching, no marks would have appeared. This hormone called glucocorticoids is responsible for formation of stretch marks.

Skin Care and stretch mark avoidance-

Stretch marks form during pregnancy in women, in teenagers when they gain weight very fast, in body builders and in some conditions such as Cushing’s syndrome. Use of steroid creams over along period may also form stretch marks.

Skin care and stretch marks treatment-

There is no proven treatment available for stretch marks. Rather than trying any product that claims to treat stretch marks, please consult your doctor. Chemical peeling and lazer is being tried to remove them. Vitamin C creams and retionoids are said to help. Your doctor is the best judge. Please consult him/her and find the remedy if possible. Even otherwise don’t get disheartened. They fade away over time.

Stretch Marks in Pregnancy

One of the things women fear most is developing stretch marks in pregnancy. Stretch marks or striae gravidarum, the medical term, is something that nearly all women will have to deal with at some time during their pregnancy.

Stretch marks in pregnancy are red or blue lines that can usually appear on the abdomen, breasts, arms, legs, and buttocks. As the pregnancy develops and weight is gained, the skin is stretched beyond it’s usual elasticity. The production of collagen is affected, a protein that gives the skin it’s elasticity, and leaves the body more prone to developing stretch marks.

After pregnancy, the skin goes back to it’s original shape, stretch marks change their color and become white, smooth, shiny and flattened scars.

Although some women wear their stretch marks with pride, as a reminder of their pregnancies, most want to take what action they can to minimize the scars they leave after pregnancy and get their shape and looks back as soon as they can.

There is no hard and fast rule about which women are likely to develop stretch marks in pregnancy but research has shown that women can be more prone to stretch marks if there is a family history of them. Rapid weight gain can be another contributory factor, so can dehydration.

Women who have naturally dry skin can be more likely to develop stretch marks in pregnancy so using a good natural moisturising solution is a good idea.

How to prevent stretch marks in pregnancy.

Try and eat a healthy diet. Remember although you are pregnant you do not have to eat for two.

Keep your body hydrated. Drink plenty of water to enhance the elasticity in your skin and to stop your skin from become damaged through dehydration.

Don’t put on weight quickly. Give your skin a chance to stretch gradually. You will naturally gain weight during your pregnancy but sudden weight gains or losses can contribute to stretch marks.

Skin creams and lotions are a good way of keeping your body well moisturised and enhancing skin elasticity. Natural products are the best choice. You don’t want any nasty chemicals that can be absorbed into the skin that can affect your unborn baby. Natural oils can soften and condition the skin during pregnancy, improve the elasticity of skin and underlying tissue and prevent unsightly stretch marks.

Some common natural products are:

Patchouli Oil: This is a treatment that has regenerative properties and is used for healing all types of scar tissue including stretch marks.

Neroli Oil: This essential oil will treat all skin types, oily or dry and will help with the regeneration of skin cells.

Mandarin Oil: This is a soothing oil. It moisturises and nurtures the skin while enhancing elasticity.

Rose Geranium Oil: Slows skin ageing, improves skin tone, and helps remove and prevent all types of scars, stretch marks, and cellulite.

Vitamin E Oil: This oil promotes healing in the skin, prevents damage from free-radicals and ensures optimum skin health. Treats all kinds of scars and stretch marks.

Rosehip Oil: Rebuilds damaged skin tissue and can reduce the appearance of current stretch marks as well as prevent development of new ones.

All these oils can be found in StretchEasy Massage Oil

Just remember that although your stretch marks may look unappealing while you are pregnant, in time they will fade naturally and blend in more with your own skin coloring.

They can become exaggerated by lack of exercise, so start a fitness routine and a sensible diet as soon as you can after your baby is born.

Stretch Marks Removal Tips

Stretch marks form when the skin stretches too quickly. Stretch marks will fade over time. Try using cocoa butter on the stretch marks at least twice a day, especially before bed. And this may sound silly but maybe you could try self tanning lotion on your breasts to even out the color.

First off all stretch marks are caused because the skin actually rips instead of stretching. That’s why when women get pregnant or gain or lose an good deal of weight quickly the skin can’t stretch quick enough so it rips. Secondly depending on how dark your skin tone & how severely they are it is possable that giving your age it is totally possable for them to heal completely, good luck!

If you’re noticing stretch marks on your body, you’re not alone. Most girls and women have stretch marks, which tend to show up on the breasts, thighs, hips, and butt. Many women get them during pregnancy. And while they’re more common in girls, guys can get stretch marks, too.

Increase the intake of foods containing Vitamin A, E and C like carrots, papayas, tomatoes . Also food rich in essential fatty acids like fish oils will help in growth of skin cells. Alpha hydroxy acids to exfoliate the skin, soften the skin, and improved elasticity. Tretinoin or Retin-A. This compound loosens the keratin in the outer skin layers and helps to exfoliate dead skin cells. Surgery to remove the affected skin. A tummy tuck is one example when surgery removes stretch marks

Stretch marks are a part of puberty. If you gain muscle or weight very quickly then you get stretch marks. It can also be from stretching. Stretch marks and scars can be removed by massaging cocoa butter, shea butter, Vitamin E oil or taking capsules.

Creams are good like everyone said especially aloe and vitamin E, but you also need to stay well hydrated. Water keeps your skin elasticized so that it can stretch easily and snap back into place after you give birth without leaving stretch marks. Although there are tons of creams and other skin products on the market that claim to eliminate stretch marks, the truth is that most are ineffective and often costly.

Mix one ounce of carrier oil ( try avocado, sweet almond, jojoba, they are the best ) with seven drops of lavender and five drops of chamomile. To make stretch mark cream, mix 1/2 cup cocoa butter, 1 tsp wheat germ oil, 1 tsp apricot kernel oil, vitamin E oil and 2 tsp grated beeswax. Heat the mixture until cocoa butter and beeswax melt, stir well and store in air tight conditioner.

You can’t make stretch marks go away entirely without the help of a dermatologist or plastic surgeon. These doctors may use one of many types of treatments – from actual surgery to techniques such as microdermabrasion and lazer treatment – that reduce the appearance of stretch marks. These techniques are expensive and are not usually recommended for people in their teen years because they are not finished growing and their stretch marks will probably diminish over time anyway.

The Facts About Your Stretch Mark Solution

By adminNo Comments
 
 
4947720477 e2d25cdcde m The Facts About Your Stretch Mark Solution

Looking for a good stretch mark solution can be both a very challenging and frustrating experience. Since people’s skins are unique, not all methods have the same level of effectiveness. Discover the facts about different solutions and see what solution will work best for you.

Fact #1: Stretch mark solution advice will depend on who you’re asking.

Many people can offer you lots of suggestions for a good stretch mark solution. Your dermatologist may suggest a dermabrasion session while your surgeon may say that surgery is the best solution. The truth is, both solutions have their pros and cons.

Dermabrasion is honestly less effective than surgery but it is also less invasive. In a sense, it is simply a more drastic form of skin exfoliation. Rapidly spinning fine wires move over your skin and peel off dead skin cells so new ones can develop. This is hardly a good stretch mark solution because stretch marks are really inner skin or dermis scars. Dermabrasion also opens you up to the risk of further skin damage and can even make stretch marks worse.

Surgery is actually a more effective stretch mark solution but it is also riskier, more invasive, more expensive and may not work for all parts of the body. At present, abdominal stretch marks are the only ones that can be solved by a tummy tuck. This stretch mark solution however can give you weeks of pain and discomfort and may even lead to infections and a larger, more visible external skin scar.

Fact #2: The least invasive stretch mark solution is to leave the marks as they are.

Others suggest that you simply refrain from doing anything or applying anything on the scars since time may eventually result in naturally faded scars. This wait and see stretch mark solution however would mean that you have to spend the best years of your life not wearing a bikini, tank tops and mini shorts. Time is also not a guarantee that stretch marks will disappear because you can increase in weight through time, which can make stretch marks worse.

You can also simply wear one piece suits to the beach. That would however, most likely remove part of the fun of being at the beach. In the beach, you’d want to naturally show off a bit or just be yourself without feeling conscious about other people staring at you.

Fact #3: Practical and natural solutions do not always eliminate stretch marks permanently but they are the safest and most active way to get rid of stretch marks.

Instead of blowing your money over risky medical procedures that are not even guaranteed stretch mark solutions, you can try the natural way. One natural stretch mark solution is to watch your weight. This may sometimes be difficult though since you may not always be able to perfectly limit body expansion especially if you are pregnant. You can always try your best though to maintain a regular diet and keep your self hydrated.

One other natural stretch mark solution is to exercise. Aerobic exercises improve blood circulation and help in the proper distribution of oxygen and nutrients to the different cells in the body. This may help maintain your skin’s elasticity and general health. Other forms of exercise however, such as muscle building exercises, may result in more stretch marks due to muscle expansion.

For optimum results, take a natural supplement to supply your body with more nutrients that can promote skin health.

Celebrities not Immune to Stretch Marks

2831253030 ee3c0b5c79 m Celebrities not Immune to Stretch Marks

When it comes to stretch marks no one is immune. They can affect anyone – rich or poor, young and old and yes, even men!

Glamorous celebrities also have them. Take Cindy Crawford for instance. From the pictures taken by the Daily Mail during a Hawaiian holiday, its obvious that motherhood has taken its tool on the 41-year-old supermodel. Crawford is the mother of two kids aged 8 and 6. Her stretch mark ravaged tummy is a far cry from her days as one of Playboy’s 100 Sexiest Stars of the 20th century.

Other members of the stretch marked set include Reese Witherspoon, Kate Beckinsdale, Nicole Ritchie, and Scarlett Johansson. While not all of them are mothers, they are living proof that stretch marks can form if the conditions are right.

The science is simple – put your body under too much trauma, too quickly, and it will manifest the stress and strain as a stretch mark – a gap deep below the skin’s surface in the dermis, caused by the stretching or tearing of collagen and elastin fibers that form the support network responsible for tone and firmness, explained the Daily Mail.

Stretch marks occur when the skin is pulled by rapid growth or stretching. This usually occurs during pregnancy, weight gain or extreme weight loss. The skin is normally elastic and retains its shape. However, during these conditions, the overstretched dermis or middle layer of the skin breaks down causing stretch marks to form.

If you’re noticing stretch marks on your body, you’re not alone. Most girls and women have stretch marks, which tend to show up on the breasts, thighs, hips, and butt. Many women get them during pregnancy. And while they’re more common in girls, guys can get stretch marks, too, said TeensHealth, a project of the Nemours Foundations Center for Childrens Health Media.

People who are obese often have stretch marks. Bodybuilders are prone to getting stretch marks because of the rapid body changes that bodybuilding can produce. Stretch marks also may occur if a person uses steroid-containing skin creams or ointments (such as hydrocortisone) for more than a few weeks, or has to take high doses of oral corticosteroids for months or longer, added TeensHealth.

Stretch marks may start as reddish or purplish lines that may appear indented and have a different texture. Later they become glossy and appear streaked in silver or white. They usually fade and become less noticeable over time but that can mean eternity for those who love to wear revealing outfits and swimsuits.

If you cant wait that long, try Strevaxl, a new product that repairs and renews the skin to reduce the appearance of stretch marks and prevent the formation of new ones. For details, visit http://www.strevaxl.com/.
