It is not an uncommon for adults or adolescents to have undergone rapid periods of growth in life. Be it from those teenage years and puberty, becoming pregnant or any other type of speedy weight gain, the outcome is having to deal with stretch marks. Having worked in the beauty industry for most of my life, it is not uncommon for me to be asked how do I get rid of stretch marks?
I don’t like to stick my head too far out on these type of issues, so I usually respond “it depends”. The first thing to bare in mind is everybody is different and everybody will see different results. It often therefore depends on your own skins chemistry to see how well you’ll react to differing techniques. What may be a fantastic cure for one person may have no effect at all on someone else. Furthermore, not everyone’s budgets are the same and there are big differences in cost-benefits between treatments.
Secondly, it depends on the type of stretch mark being treated. Pregnancy stretchmarks for example, tend to have unique characteristics as generally they involve fleshy parts of the skin. This compares to marks on the arms and neck which tend to be the result of muscle growth in parts of the body with low fat content. Because of this, different treatments have different results.
It is very important that you do your research before choosing a treatment type. It is very common for people to start out treating their stretch marks by using a stretch mark prevention cream. As with everything involved in beauty treatment, these differ massively in both price and effectiveness.
Even effective lotions/creams can be made to work far more effectively by using simple products such as a Derma Roller which give applications to the skin, a far greater chance of being absorbed and their active ingredients working. In fact, this type of treatment is found to consistently outperform other treatment alternatives across the board and in the past few years has become the fastest growing procedure on the market.
Please remember to consult a trained medical professional or a trained beauty consultant before beginning any treatment type. Making sure you know all facts beforehand is vital in so that you can choose wisely
