Stretch Marks Treatment
Anonymous File :-(, x)
Tretinoin cream (a.k. Retin-A): Studies have shown that creams containing Retin-A may help reduce the appearance of stretch marks.
Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs): These plant-derived extracts (sometimes called fruit acids) enhance cell regeneration by removing the top layer of skin cells, allowing new, healthier cells to come to the surface, thereby improving skin color and texture and promoting better absorption of moisture. AHAs also claim to increase the skins flexibility, which helps stretch marks to disappear.
Endermologie: This method involves the use of a specialized machine developed in France. Using rollers and gentle suction, the endermologie machine deeply massages the stretch marked areas, with the objective of increasing circulation. It also gets rid of excess water and toxins in the connective tissue. This procedure usually requires a series of treatments to be effective, each lasting about half an hour. This procedure also helps with cellulite.
Laser Surgery: Although laser surgery wont remove stretch marks, it will cause them to fade; however, it is most effective in the early stages of the development of stretch marks or when the color is darkest, as the laser will only respond to dark colors. Laser removal will require a series of treatments for visible results.
Micro-Dermabrasion: Like AHAs, this method removes the outer layer of the skin, however micro-dermabrasion uses jets of zinc, aluminum oxide crystals, or a rough surface, to remove dead skin. A small vacuum attached to a wand is typically used to suction off the dead skin. This process is painless and does not require anesthetic.
