Removing Stretch Marks: Microdermabrasion and Stretch Mark Balms

by Gabriell Rygh

Stretch marks appear due to rapid stretching of the skin that may be produced by pregnancy, rapid weight gain, or sudden growth spurts. Most of the time it's difficult to prevent them, however there are several treatments you can use to treat them.

Microdermabrasion: An Option for Stretch Mark Removal

Microdermabrasion for stretch marks is a very common form of treatment. Microdermabrasion is a common, cosmetic procedure that helps remove the superficial layers of the skin in a much gentler manner than with dermabrasion.

Microdermabrasion does not require anesthesia or a substantial recovery period. However, it may be necessary to have several sessions to obtain the results you are looking for. The thought behind microdermabrasion is quite simple.

Abrasive micro crystals are used to sand off the skin and inflict a small amount of controlled damage. Once the skin becomes afflicted it will respond naturally by producing new skin cells to cover the "damaged" area.

Patiently they stretch marks will be "sanded off". Microdermabrasion is also used to treat aged skin and to remove scars while softer crystals, like sodium bicarbonate, are ideally used to treat more sensitive skin.

A Gentle Option for Stretch Mark Removal: Stretch Mark Creams

The use of stretch mark balms and creams is another way of treating stretch marks. These products work by including specific ingredients instead of using abrasive micro-crystals, nevertheless, you can also opt for microdermabrasion creams that are made with special ingredients.

Look for products that repair collagen and elastin. Both of these components are necessary in order to keep skin healthy and unblemished. Ingredients like retinol, neuropeptides and Vitamin C are just a few products that can promote the production of collagen.

Snail serum and rose hip seed oil are also ingredients that help repair collagen. They can also induce the production of new cells. Both of these ingredients have been used for ages to help treat various types of skin problems.

In Hippocrates time, several doctors used snail serum to help treat burns and other skin traumas. In fact, it was also used to treat small pox, measles, and even acne. Snail serum has the ability to degrade scar tissue so that it can be removed from the body.

Rose hip seed oil has been a popular product for the treatment of all types of scars including stretch marks. It's high concentration of Vitamin A, Vitamin C and essential fatty acids work to break down scar tissue. After a few applications you will begin to see how your stretch marks gradually begin to shrink in size.

If your efforts to prevent stretch marks were unsuccessful then you'll need to find an effective stretch mark treatment. BIOBODYCREAM is a natural stretch marks cream that contains snail serum. This effective natural cream not only works as a stretch mark removal treatment, but is also gentle enough to use on all types of skin no matter how sensitive.
