Effective ways for treating stretch marks
Specially formulated
Heal Stretch Marks product is natural, blended with the highest
quality pure natural essential oils. It has been formulated for
bodies that have gone through growth changes such as, women during
and after pregnancy, teenagers during puberty, or for people who
have suddenly gained or lost weight. The effectiveness of Heal Stretch
Marks to both prevent stretch marks when applied during pregnancy,
and to eliminate old or new stretch marks, is unsurpassed. Heal
Stretch Marks is applied topically by placing a few drops on your
fingers and gently massaging the formula onto the effected areas.
During pregnancy, as a preventative measure, Heal Stretch Marks
is applied to the abdomen and breasts.
If necessary,
include the hips and buttocks. Tretinoin, or Retin-A: These types
of cream are derived from vitamin A and are available on prescription.
They make the outer layer of skin thinner, so that the cream can
get to the dermis, where it increases the amount of collagen produced.
Strong doses can cause the skin to sting, swell and become red,
and may also make it more sensitive to sunlight. The skin may also
get thicker because of the increase in the amount of collagen produced.
Tretinoin is not recommended for use in pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
People taking Retina-A should avoid taking vitamin A supplements
at the same time Laser surgery does not remove stretch marks, but
it can help them to fade. Laser treatment only picks up dark areas
of skin, so it most useful in the early stages when stretch marks
are darker in co lour.
A series of
treatments are usually necessary for visible results, but this depends
on your skin co lour and type. Abdominal stretch marks occur primarily
below the belly button. Surgery: An operation called an abdominoplasty
is carried out to remove excess fat and skin around the abdomen
(stomach), and remove stretch marks below the belly button at the
same time. Surgery is a very expensive and extreme option. It is
not available on the NHS and is rarely recommended. Clinical studies
have shown no improvement in stretch marks after laser treatment.
There is no other proven treatment for stretch marks.
