Stretch marks after pregnancy are particularly common. Nearly three in four women will develop stretch marks on their legs, abdomen, hips, and other areas of the body affected by weight gain during pregnancy.

During pregnancy, the skin expands and stretches to its limit, causing tiny tears in the supporting layers of skin. These tiny tears are stretch marks that appear as glossy, white streaks in the skin. Many women who have stretch marks after pregnancy turn to laser stretch mark removal to eliminate this unwanted scarring. This treatment is designed to give women the renewed, youthful appearance they desire.

Stretch marks can affect any area of the body in which the skin is subject to rapid stretching. The abdomen is the area most often affected by stretch marks, but they are also common around the thighs, hips, buttocks, lower back, arms, and chest. Skin in all these areas is subject to high stress as a result of heavy use and rapid expansion. Theoretically, any area of the body could be vulnerable to stretch marks if the skin is stretched enough as a result of tissue expansion.

 

Other Considerations

There are a number of other considerations for patients that undergo stretch mark removal treatment. Patients should have realistic expectations about the results that their desired treatment method can offer. Patients that undergo stretch mark removal surgery should be in good health; patients undergoing surgery will need to discuss their medical history and medication list with their surgeons prior to treatment. Patients should also be aware of the costs of their stretch mark removal treatment.

 

Natural Stretch Mark Removal

Traditional stretch mark removal treatments include creams, lotions, and recommendations for regular diet and exercise. There are a wide variety of products available on the market for natural stretch mark removal. However, these methods fail to produce satisfactory results for many individuals, particularly those with old, well-developed stretch mark scars. In these cases, more involved medical treatment may be the only effective option.

Results

It is difficult to accurately gauge the effectiveness of natural stretch mark removal strategies. An array of products claim to remove or reduce the appearance of stretch marks, but very little real data is available to support these claims. In general, these products are most effective when applied to fresh stretch marks. Even in these cases, however, natural stretch mark removal products often simply help the stretch mark fade more quickly.

Benefits

Natural stretch mark removal products, such as Striae Stretch Mark Removal cream, are typically less expensive than more involved cosmetic dermatology procedures. The products used are widely available for purchase both over the internet and from a variety of skin care retailers. Because they are non-surgical, their use does not require visits to a clinic or spa, and the better known brands are generally very safe.
