If you're among the women that suffer from stretch marks,
you know that the marks can be annoying and tough to overcome.
While a healthy amount of diet and exercise is a surefire
way to make you feel great for the big day, sketch marks are natural and there
are many factors at play that make stretch marks tough to get rid of.
Stretch marks are indented streaks that often appear on the
stomach, hips, butt, breasts, and thighs. They vary in thickness and color, and
they are usually pink or reddish-purple to start, fading to silvery-white
overtime. The marks are caused by stretching of the skin due to rapid weight
gain, pregnancy, fluctuating hormone levels, and sometimes, pure genetics.
While losing weight when stretch marks first arise can help
diminish their appearance, consistent aerobic exercise and strength training to
replace body fat with muscle won't make them vanish.
Think of stretch marks like scars in the middle layer of
your skin. Sounds impossible to get at, right? Not so — if you have a good provider.
Micro-needling could be the answer if you want to get rid of
your stretch marks. The procedure "is often used to smooth out acne scars
and fine wrinkles on the face, but can also treat stretch marks on the body. It
requires less recovery time compared to popular laser treatments. Fraxel or
vbeam lasers can combat redness caused by stretch marks, but the results often
fall short of expectations and treatments on the body may take longer to heal.
The Micro-needling device is outfitted with super fine
needles that penetrate down into the skin's deepest layer (the dermis) to
essentially "traumatize" the skin and, as a result, kick-start the
production of collagen and elastin through the body's natural healing process.
After numbing the area with topical cream, we begin working
the wand over the individual stretch marks. It is usually painless, but can
sometimes feel like it is pinching the skin from the inside out.
The skin can become fairly red immediately following the treatment,
but the color is expected to fade gradually over the next few days. The skin might
also slightly become a bit itchy.
Each spot where the micro needle head treats the skin will
probably remain visible for about two weeks, therefore it’s recommended to plan your treatments at least
that far in advance of any event (or any vacation that involves being in a
bikini), and also advises three to five treatments total. So if you decide to
go for it in preparation for any big day, plan to start at least six months
out.
