Many would be mothers ask, can stretch marks go away after giving birth? But answering this question is not an easy task. Stretch marks are actually scars. As we all know, scars are difficult to get rid of. If this is the case, then do stretch marks go away?
How Do I Get Stretch Marks?
Stretch marks appear as small indented streaks on the skin. They develop when the skin is pulled by rapid stretching. When the skin is overstretched, the production of collagen is interrupted. Once the creation of the protein that strengthens the tissues of your skin is decreased, stretch marks start to form because the tissues of your skin can easily break.
Millions of pregnant women get bothered by stretch marks. These often appear on the abdomen because the belly is rapidly stretching. This happens at the later stages of the pregnancy because the baby is now growing bigger. Some women also get scars on their thighs, hips, buttocks, and breasts. If this occurs during pregnancy, can stretch marks go away after you've given birth? The answer to this question is yes.
Stretch marks do fade away after a while. These scars start out as pink, purple or dark brown. Over time they fade and their color turns silver or white. Now you ask the second question, do stretch marks go away for good? The answer to this is that they never totally disappear.
How Do I Get Rid Of Stretch Marks?
Many creams and lotions in the market claim that they do make stretch marks go away. However, only a few of them are effective. If you want to be sure that your stretch marks will be removed in its entirety, you may need to visit a dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon.
The many types of methods that they can possibly use to cure can range from major surgery to microdermabrasion. Some surgeons will also suggest laser surgery as a treatment option. This technique has been gaining popularity because a laser beam is used to burn off the top layer of scarring skin. The good thing about this treatment is that you will suffer only minimal pain without the risk of bleeding.
The methods used by doctors are effective yet they can be very expensive. And because this is a cosmetic procedure, your health insurance plan will not cover it for you and you will have to pay out of your own pocket.
A more practical way to make can stretch marks go away is by using sunless tanning treatments. Regular tanning or tanning beds don't work well. The reason behind this is that stretch marks are less likely to tan and the ultraviolet rays can do more harm than good to your skin. If you use tanning lotions and sprays, these will help you cover up your marks.
There are also body makeup that match your skin tone and some are water-resistant, so you can use these products as cover-ups to make it look like that you have already found the answer to the burning question "do stretch marks go away"?
