Important Facts About Your Stretch Mark Solution
January 15th, 2008
Choosing an effective stretch mark solution can both be a very taxing and frustrating experience. Because skins vary from person to person, your stretch mark solution may work as well with others. The best we can do, therefore, is to discover facts about different solutions and see which solution seem fitting for us.
Fact #1: Stretch mark solution advice will depend on who you’re asking.
It is not surprising to get different stretch mark solution advice from different people. You dermatologist may advise you that the best stretch mark solution would be a dermabrasion session while your surgeon may advise you to go for surgery. The truth is that every stretch mark solution option has its own pros and cons.
Dermabrasion may be a less invasive solution than surgery but it does not directly remove the stretch mark scars. It only drastically exfoliates the top layer of the skin, getting rid of dead skin cells in order to make room for new ones. But since stretch marks develop from the inner layers of the skin, dermabrasion may not yield very lasting effects if you want your stretch marks removed.
Compared to dermabrasion, surgery is a more effective stretch mark solution. However, it is also more risky, more invasive, more costly. Furthermore, surgery for stretch mark may not work for some parts of the body. Currently, only abdominal stretch marks can be resolved with a tummy tuck but this can also give you weeks of pain and discomfort, not to mention the risk of infection as well as a larger, more visible scar.
Fact #2: Leave your stretch marks alone.
Others suggest that you simply refrain from doing anything or applying anything on the scars since time may eventually result in naturally faded scars. This wait and see stretch mark solution however would mean that you have to spend the best years of your life not wearing a bikini, tank tops and mini shorts. Time is also not a guarantee that stretch marks will disappear because you can increase in weight through time, which can make stretch marks worse.
Wearing one-piece suits to the beach and covering your body the whole summer would be half the fun. However, it is better than feeling self-conscious about yourself in front of others.
Fact #3: Practical and natural solutions do not always eliminate stretch marks permanently but they are the safest and most active way to get rid of stretch marks.
Instead of splurging your fortune over invasive medical and cosmetic procedures that may be more dangerous and risky than they are worth, try the natural way of diminishing or preventing stretch marks: watching your weight. More than aesthetic purposes, losing weight or maintaining it not only keep stretch marks from snaking its way across your body, it also offer other health benefits.
Cardio and aerobic exercises are other stretch mark solutions. Exercise can help improve your blood circulation and proper distribution of nutrients and oxygen to your skin, making it more supple, elastic, thus, less likely to develop stretch marks. Some exercises are not good to remove stretch marks, however, like muscle building. Because of muscle expansion, muscle building will more likely add to your stretch marks than remove it.
To achieve the best possible result, take a natural supplement along with your natural stretch mark solution in order to provide your skin with nutrients that may be lacking from your diet.
