Pregnancy Stretch Marks: An At Home Treatment

Pregnancy Stretch Marks: An At Home Treatment

By:


Over 50% of all pregnant women will develop stretch marks during their pregnancy. Rapid weight fluctuations are often the main cause, but genetics also plays an important role in the development of stretch marks.



Once your child is born, stretch marks may not seem that important, and even if you wanted you probably won't have too much free time to dedicate to stretch mark treatments. But, as with everything in life, the sooner to solve a problem the less it will affect you in the future.



Surgery and laser therapy for pregnancy stretch marks may be common forms of treatment, but they have two downfalls. They both require you to invest money and time, two things that not everyone can spare, especially after having had a baby.



However, if you still want treatment, but at a more affordable price, you might want to try microdermabrasion creams. This type of treatment is less expensive and can be done on your free time and in the comfort of your own home.



Microdermabrasion and Stretch Mark Removal Treatment



Microdermabrasion is considered to be the gentlest form of resurfacing the skin. It may take longer for the results to show, but you will have a greater control over the procedure. A normal session can last anywhere from 40 minutes to 1 hour.



Microdermabrasion inflicts a small amount of "damage" to the treated area with the use of abrasive micro-crystals. The body quickly responds by producing new and healthier skin cells to displace the damaged skin cells. You should be able to see a difference in your stretch marks after several sessions.



Often aluminum oxide and sodium bicarbonate crystals are used for traditional microdermabrasion. Neither one is toxic or expensive.



Unlike any other resurfacing technique, microdermabrasion, can be used anywhere on the body. This procedure can help rejuvenate your skin by eliminating fine lines, wrinkles, and even age spots. In fact, it can be performed once every six months as part of your anti aging routine.



Home Microdermabrasion Creams: No Hassle



Just as with microdermabrasion, these creams also treat the skin by "sanding off" the outermost layer. However, an added plus is that they also include soothing ingredients that can help relieve the treated areas of the skin. This combination of components makes microdermabrasion creams much gentler than traditional microdermabrasion.



The good news is that this also allows you to use them every day, unlike traditional microdermabrasion. Some creams are made with natural ingredients that help relieve irritation caused by micro-crystals.
