Stretchmarks - What are they and how do you get rid of them?

Many of individuals all over the world suffer from strech marks. Both men and women will find them showing after periods of significant growth such as puberty. Women, of course, suffer with them post pregnancy.

They occur as our skin tries to maintain its expansion with the rate of growth in the muscles, bones or, in the case of pregnancy, baby. Invariably however, it fails to do so and tiny splits form in the 2nd layer of skin, referred to as the Dermis. These tears show as red streaks at first and fade gradually to a silvery colour.

The stretch marks are actually pockets of skin with lower levels of collagen. As the skin is ripped apart during the growth phase, it fails to heal itself so that it appears like its former state. Of course, it is only a cosmetic concern as there is little or no medical disadvantage to having stretch marks.

To remove stretch marks involves boosting the levels of collagen within the Dermis layer of skin. This is best done by increasing your own bodies natural ability to generate collagen rather than introducing it from alternative sources. The most common way of doing this is micro needling, using a Derma roller or other collagen induction therapies.

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

As with anything involving health and wellbeing, it is vital to do your research and consult your doctor before beginning or using any product or treatment.
