Stretchmarks – Causes and Removal

Many of individuals all over the world suffer from stretchmarks. Both males and females will find them appearing after times of rapid growth such as puberty. Women, of course, suffer with them after pregnancy.

They occur as our skin tries to keep up with the rate 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 2nd layer of skin, referred to as the Dermis. These tears show as red streaks initially and fade gradually to a silvery colour.

The stretch marks are actually areas of skin with reduced levels of collagen. As the middle layer 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 practically no medical disadvantage to having these marks, the cosmetic concerns, however, are great. They make you feel self concious in front of people and don’t look very nice.

Removal stretch marks involves increasing the collagen levels within the Dermis layer of skin. This is best done by increasing your own bodies natural ability to produce collagen rather than introducing it from external sources. The most common way of doing this is Microneedling with Derma rollers as an effective collagen induction therapy.

The other additional advantage 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 penetrate the upper levels of skin far more effectively 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.
