Stretch Marks
January 8, 2009
It is a sad fact of life that most women, especially if you have had children, will have stretch marks. Don’t worry ladies, men get them too. If you were to ask any given person if you can get rid of them, you will get a mix of answers. If a woman has them and, to no avail, she cannot get rid of them, she is going to tell you no. But, she is doing something wrong. You can make them disappear.
These little red and purple scars on our bodies can be quite annoying and disrupting when you are trying to wear a certain type of garment. After time, they become lighter and less visible but you still know that they are there. Once you notice them, you should start treating them right away.
The one treatment that most women try is a topical ointment. Creams and gels can be great, but you need to buy one with the right ingredients. It should contain tretinoin or retinol. Because they are related to Vitamin A, they help to reproduce collagen production. This plumps your skin to get rid of the stretch marks.
Another effective method for stretch marks is laser and intense pulsed light treatment. This process will not eliminate the marks but will make them less visible. This can be a lengthy and expensive process.
Stretch marks are caused from the skin stretching and then shrinking. Men that lift weights can experience these marks as well, since they are expanding the skin tissue from their muscles getting bigger. For women, it is a matter of gaining weight then losing weight or simply getting pregnant and giving birth.
The advice given here is safe and effective. Although there is no way to completely get rid of them or prevent them from happening, you can make them less visible to the naked eye so that you still look hot in that bikini or strapless dress. So chin up, and march on. There is light at the end of the tunnel, you just have to travel the right path to get to the end.
