Stretch mark removal is a difficult question, a question that even experts in the field fear to answer. Many methods and solutions have been suggested in recent times for removal of stretch marks. Complete permanent stretch mark removal is practically not feasible. There are methods to reduce them and home remedies to prevent their appearance but a proven authentic solution has still not been discovered.

Laser Treatment for Stretch Marks

Let us discuss laser treatment for stretchmarks in detail. The procedure includes sending a concentrated beam of laser light to travel across the affected area to remove very thin layers of skin. The removal of the layers results in the removal of the scar tissue that causes the stretch marks. After the treatment, skin begins to heal and new tissue replaces the removed scarred layers. The treatment time may be from twenty minutes to probably an hour or even more. You may need to have a series of treatments depending on the severity of the scars. Side affects are quite rare but swelling or change in color or some slight symptoms may occur but will disappear after some time.

Creams And Lotions For Pregnancy Stretch Marks

Rather than go for costly options for stretch mark removal first try simple ones like cocoa butter and Vitamin E oil. Olive oil, lavender oil may also help in most cases. They really help if massaged properly on the skin. In case, your scars are really deep and severe check with your dermatologist before using any cream. Creams and lotions for stretchmarks though claimed by sales people to completely remove stretch marks may or may not work for you. So check well before using any cream try a good diet, exercise, lots of water first go natural and if really nothing seems to work then you may try some other methods after consulting with a dermatologist or your health care specialist.

The Cause Of Stretch Marks

Stretch marks basically occur due to sudden stretching of the skin either during pregnancy or puberty or even for persons who exercise too much like athletes. It is a myth that stretch marks occur only for women, men may also get them. You may get pregnancy stretch marks if your mother had them, if you have a fair skin i.e. your ethnicity matters, or if you are gaining too much weight cut on fatty foods. Always remember to keep yourself well hydrated during pregnancy because that helps keep the skin soft.

Rather than be worried about a suitable solution for stretch marks try to prevent them in the first place. Pregnancy is a very special, beautiful phase in the life of a woman so pamper yourself and take good care of yourself as much as you can. Give special attention to the food you eat and be careful to eat nutritious food rather than fatty foods. As already mentioned drink lots of liquids, water, fruit juices but avoid caffeinated drinks.
