Stretch marks are a matter of concern for millions of people. It is believed that stretch marks are most common in pregnant women but then even body builders and teenagers suffer from it due to sudden spurts of growth. The basic reason for this common problem is that sometimes the body grows too fast and the skin is not able to keep up with the growth rate because it's not healthy enough to take on that load. During these sudden growth spurts, the skin has to cover an increasingly large area and if it's not in optimal health that could result in ruptures of the dermis.
• Reasons for stretch marks – The body responds to these ruptures or tears by sending excessive amounts of collagen to the ruptured areas that helps in closing up the gap created. But after the ruptured area is healed, the collagen is not able to blend in surrounding areas very well because the collagen fibers are all aligned, instead of woven like normal skin. The marks left by it have a different color from the color of the skin that results in these stretch marks which are very distinct and visible.
• Treatment of stretch marks – One commonly used treatment is microdermabrasion for stretch marks. Many people notice improvement, but it's not hundred percent effective with doing away with the marks. It helps in reducing the marks but is probably not able to remove it completely.
• Limits of microdermabrasion – The skin is made up of many layers and the stretch marks occur in the middle layer that is known as the dermis layer. Unfortunately, there's no way a microdermabrasion treatment could ever reach that damaged layer since the top layer of skin is in the way. But Microdermabrasion for stretch marks is a better treatment than many of the others available.
• Types of stretch marks – For treatments of stretch marks, there are two things to be considered that are the type of stretch marks and the age of stretch marks. The color helps to differentiate the state of the stretch marks – if it is red, brown or purple then these are new and easier to be treated. But it becomes tough and complicated to remove when these have a white color after being left untreated for a long time. Therefore you should keep it in mind that you should treat your stretch marks as soon as you notice them on your body.
• Advantages of microdermabrasion – The main advantage is that it is more powerful than stretch mark creams.
• Disdvantages of microdermabrasion – There are several disadvantages to microdermabrasion. If you're getting it professionally done, cost is a big negative. Another is the pain factor no matter whether you do it yourself at home or get it done professionally. But the biggest disadvantage is that even after all that pain and money, microdermabrasion can't completely remove stretch marks.
There are several stretch marks treatments available in the market that are mostly chemical based in the form of creams and other chemicals. Sometimes these are effective but then there are chances that the chemical might react adversely with your body and most people don't notice much benefit from these products at all. Therefore it is recommended that you use microdermabrasion for stretch marks treatment if you have the money and can stomach the pain.
A better way to get rid of your stretch marks is to use the Reverse Stretch Marks system, which goes deeper into the skin than microdermabrasion can.
