How to get rid of stretch marks
June 19, 2008
How do stretch marks occur? When skin is stretched beyond its normal capacity, deep scars that look like stripes appear on the skin. When the skin stretches, tiny fibers under the skin tear. Basically, when large amounts of weight are gained in a short period of time, stretch marks can appear.
Stretch marks can manifest themselves in the abdominal area, arms, legs, buttocks and chest. They’ll be reddish-purple in color in the beginning, but will eventually turn silver in color, which does make them less noticeable. Fortunately, there are many ways to get rid of stretch marks such as one can apply cocoa butter into the stretch marks or massage with vitamin E oil into the stretch marks, especially after shower.
Another effective method to get rid of stretch marks is application of tretinoin cream after consulting your doctor, since this cream is available by prescription only. Eat foods that are rich in vitamin A, E and C and the foods that are rich in zinc, and silica. These are good for skin and help form collagen, the supporting fibers in the skin.
The most successful treatment of stretch marks is cosmetic laser surgery. Laser treatment is by far the most expensive method available, running well into the thousands of dollars when there is a large treatment area. However, laser surgery is also the best way to achieve results when trying to remove stretch marks. If this does not fit you, you can take supplements along with your regular diet. However, pregnant women should have this after consulting their doctors. Eat foods that contain essential fatty acids for example, vegetables, vegetable oils and fish oils. This will help make cell walls.
It is important to remember that damage to the deep fibers of the skin is difficult and sometimes impossible to repair. That is why it is best to always try to prevent stretch marks before they happen. You can do this by monitoring your weight gain and muscle building closely. A healthy diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and water will also aid in preventing stretch marks.
