Laser skin tightening is a popular way to reduce the appearance of stretch marks on the stomach. This method uses focused light beams to gently damage the skin. This might sound scary, but it's a controlled process that encourages the skin to heal itself. As the skin heals, it makes more collagen and elastin.
Fractional microneedling radiofrequency (FMR)
While penetrating into the skin, microneedles apply radiofrequency energy, inducing collagen and elastin production. After at least 4 monthly sessions, stretch mark width has been shown to be reduced.
Stretch marks aren't painful or harmful, but some people don't like the way they make their skin look. Stretch marks don't require treatment. They often fade over time, with or without treatment. They may never disappear completely.
Can Vaseline remove stretch marks? While Vaseline can help to moisturise the skin and improve its overall appearance, it is unlikely to completely remove stretch marks. Using Vaseline in combination with other treatments can help to reduce the appearance of stretch marks over time.
Skin changes during puberty are the most common reason for stretch marks on the breasts. “They develop when your skin rapidly stretches as your breasts develop,” Dr. Akhtar says. “We also see breast stretch marks in pregnant women as their breasts enlarge.”
To make such a scrub, we need salt, moisturizing oil and sugar. Sugar will act as abrasive particles that polish the top layer of the epidermis, oil will moisturize the skin, and salt will have an anti-inflammatory effect. Due to the constant renewal of the epidermis, stretch marks will become less noticeable.
Radiofrequency Treatments
Allure reports that RF treatments use energy to heat the skin's deeper layers, stimulating collagen and elastin production. This process tightens the skin and reduces the appearance of stretch marks by improving skin elasticity and texture.
Development of a stretch mark
The skin is stretched as a consequence of underlying tissue expansion. There is an inflammatory reaction in the skin that is responsible for the characteristic red or purple colour. The inflammation eventually fades and is replaced by scar tissue.
Many creams, ointments and other products claim to prevent or treat stretch marks. These include products made of cocoa butter, vitamin E and glycolic acid. They aren't harmful, but they probably won't help much either. Stretch marks usually fade over time and don't need self-care or home therapy.
Exercise. One way to decrease the visibility of excess skin after pregnancy is to strengthen the muscle below it. In the case of the abdomen, strengthening your core through regular exercise can help to build the stomach muscles out and tighten the skin above as a result.
In general, stretch marks from weight loss fade or disappear completely on their own. Sometimes rapid weight loss can actually cause stretch marks because of excess skin weighing down on the healthy skin.
Generally, breasts continue to grow until the age of 17-18. However, they may keep developing until your early or mid-20s. The growth rate and the time when they stop developing differ from person to person, largely due to genetic and hormonal factors.
RF Microneedling is a safe and effective treatment for reducing the appearance of stretch marks on the skin, because it tightens the skin and rewires the skin's “memory” of scarring and discoloration.
Creams or oils (such as vitamin E oil) or other treatments have not been shown to prevent stretch marks. But they do help with skin dryness and may reduce itching. Stretch marks never go away, but they usually fade and become less obvious after pregnancy.
As much as we'd love VapoRub to be able to make stretch marks disappear, we're afraid that it's just not true! Stretch marks are fickle things, and nothing has currently been proven to get rid of them entirely.
Weight Loss & Stretch Marks
Yes, weight loss resulting from exercise can directly impact the appearance of stretch marks. When excess weight is shed, the tension on the skin is reduced, potentially causing stretch marks to become less noticeable.
