Clever And Straightforward Stretch Mark Removal Tips

By Scott Tomrel

Stretch marks (striae) are a woman's worst nightmare. They start out as pinkish or purple streaks on our thighs, breasts, buttocks or stomach and over time they become white or silvery. Unlike a pimple or a grey hair, stretch marks require effective treatment solutions to be successfully removed.

Fortunately thanks to breakthroughs in cosmetic and dermatological science there are now several ways you can reduce the appearance of and successfully remove stretch marks. Using the following creams, treatments or techniques you will be able to regain your body confidence and strut your stuff once more.

Stretch marks generally appear after periods of fast growth or around the abdomen after child birth. They are caused when the dermis is stretched beyond capacity and unfortunately very few of us women escape unscathed.

Bio Oil has recently become a popular topical treatment for stretch marks. This light oil contains high levels of vitamin A and E and a manufactured lubricant trademarked as Purcellin oil. Applied twice daily this oil has been proven to improve the appearance of stretch marks.

Another popular topical treatment is Strivectin-SD. This product comes with a 100% money back guarantee and contains Butylene Glycol, vitamin A and C and shea butter as a deep moisturizer.

If you need to be bikini ready ASAP, then there are some quick and effective treatments available at your cosmetic dermatologist. Microdermabrasion is a procedure that uses aluminum oxide crystals to exfoliate the skin surface and reveal new and undamaged layers of skin. As well as being quick, this procedure is almost painless, there is no recovery time and results are very good. Another option is laser treatment using an "excimer laser". This process involves shining high energy ultraviolet light onto the affected skin surface. The light beams actually repair the damage caused to the dermis. Skin may be left a little red and tender, but recovery is very fast. For its effectiveness and quick recovery time, laser treatment is becoming a very popular treatment for successful stretch mark removal.

If you have large stretch marks around your lower abdomen, then a tummy tuck will remove the stretch marks with incredible results. This is a surgical procedure that involves removing the affected skin. While very effective, it also involves a high cost, risk of complications and a substantial recovery time.

Stretch marks affect millions of people around the world and dent their self confidence. But there is no need to suffer any longer as there are options available that will remove your stretch marks and leave your skin renewed. - 33375
