Stretch Marks – What can be done?

Plenty of individuals all over the world suffer from stretchmarks. Both men and women will find them showing after times of significant growth such as puberty. Women, more often than not,as is often the case, suffer with them post pregnancy.

They occur as our skin attempts to keep up with the level of growth in the bones, muscles or, in the instance of pregnancy, baby. Invariably though, it fails to do so and tears form in the second layer of skin, referred to as the Dermis. These tears appear as red streaks at first and change over time to a silvery colour.

The stretch marks are actually areas of skin with reduced levels of collagen. As the skin is ripped in two during the growth phase, it does not manage to heal itself so that it looks like its former state. Of course, it is only a cosmetic concern as there is little or no medical disadvantage to having these marks.

Stretch marks treatment involves boosting the levels of collagen within the Dermis layer of skin. This is best done by enhancing your own bodies natural ability to generate collagen as opposed to introducing it from alternative sources. The best way of doing this is microneedling with derma rollers, an effective collagen induction therapy.

The other additional advantage of this type of treatment, is the way in which it boosts the effectiveness of oils and creams, such as the commonly used bio oil. It gives these lotions the ideal conditions to penetrate the upper levels of skin to a far greater degree providing a much enhanced result.

As with anything health or medical related, it is vital to do your research and go and see your doctor before beginning or using any product or treatment.
