Streamers. Can I get rid of them?
Streamers. What it is
According to statistics, about 80% of women who have been pregnant, 70% of girls and 40% of adolescent boys have stretch marks on the skin. Apparently, the race does not matter, so the same from the appearance of stretch marks on the skin of affected women and men from all over the world.
Since this stretch considered aesthetically unsightly phenomenon, and the lack of care products for skin with stretch marks, no, but you work all these all these means, and what to expect?
Stretch marks appear when the skin is stretched more than usual for a specified time period. Most often, it occurs during pregnancy, rapid growth (adolescence) and speed dial, or weight loss.
Excessive stretching of the skin leads to rupture of the connective tissue of the skin, and more specifically the collagen and elastin. On the skin, we then witness a rather large scars under the skin, this is the place where the plates of collagen and elastin torn because of the long stretch.
In fact, stretching is nothing as internal scarring, and unfortunately, they are extremely difficult to get rid of. The truth is that there are virtually no cosmetics and creams that can be outdoor activities to influence on the manifestation and the appearance of stretch marks.
Ways to prevent stretch marks
So, unfortunately, most of us begin to look for a solution, when it (the problem) is already there, then I will note only that the only way to prevent stretch marks is the meticulous care of his body. But care must be directed precisely to maintain the elasticity of the skin:
UV protection;
Cold and hot shower;
Regular massage;
The use of funds for renovation of the epidermis (scrubs, light peels);
Using good body cream, preferably it does not contain fragrances.
Massage of stretch marks - will it help?
Most of all, the claim that massage can relieve, or at least reduce the appearance of stretch marks, it is possible to hear from therapists. Unfortunately, no amount and intensity of the massage can not remove the inner skin tears. Alas, there are no clinical studies that have shown at least some effect on the manifestation of stretch marks massage.
In addition, the massage area of ??the abdomen is not recommended during pregnancy and better to consult with your doctor before you decide to go to body massage treatments.
What about the Dermaroller?
Dermaroller today are becoming more and more popular, but the safety and effectiveness of their use is questioned by many. This small Soup equipped with small needles in which the skin is stimulated, causing her intense updated.
The truth is that so far there is no evidence that the Dermaroller are able to get rid of stretch marks on the skin, or at least - better results than laser resurfacing.
Dermaroller can stimulate the production of collagen, but only by restoring collagen impressive results, you will not achieve. Restore elastin extremely difficult, many experts say that it is not impossible.
Mikrodermambraziya stretch marks
One study a few years ago, showed some interesting results. The report stated that using mikrodermambrazii managed to reduce stretch marks on the skin. This research has given hope to many, but if you read more about how it was carried out, it appears that the subject epidermis was subjected to very aggressive dermambrazii - 5 sessions per week for 12 weeks. Moreover, the results do not indicate the extent specifically, in percentage terms, decreased stretch.
This raises a logical question: Who is willing to go to such invasive procedures for the uncertain opportunities to reduce some stretch marks?
Creams and oils for stretch marks
Cacao butter
Despite the popularity of cocoa butter among women, the study showed that regular massage the skin with this oil during pregnancy is unable to increase the elasticity of the skin, and thereby prevent the appearance of stretch marks.
Of course, the use of a mask of cocoa beans for the removal of existing stretch marks, can not walk and talk.
Collagen and elastin
Number of creams and serums designed to remove wrinkles and stretch marks with the content of collagen and elastin, is no coincidence. These are 2 types of proteins responsible for the elasticity of the epidermis. It would seem that all you need for beautiful skin, it is a means of collagen and elastin, but no need to rush ...
As cosmetic ingredients, collagen and elastin are of animal or vegetable origin, and despite the fact that they are certainly useful for the skin, they are unable to connect with collagen and elastin, which are part of the epidermis.
But that's not all. Cells collagen and elastin are simply too large to penetrate the epidermis generally and simply remain on the surface. Details of the means to collagen, read the material: Collagen Face.
Essential oils
It is often possible to meet the enthusiastic approval of that essential oils are able to get rid of any skin problems, including stretch marks. Let's look at this question without bias. Essential oils I also love, but do not ever exaggerate their properties and neglect contraindications.
Specifically, stretch marks, recommended oil of rosemary, jasmine and lavender.
Firstly, there is absolutely no scientifically proven facts about the action of essential oils or their "ability" to deal with stretch marks. But, for example, it is known on the irritant effects of many essential oils.
For example, research has shown that lavender oil may have adverse effect on fibroblasts, the cells that are responsible for the production of collagen. So, trying to get rid of stretch marks, you can even worsen the skin condition.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E deserves its reputation as a powerful antioxidant and ingredient stimulates skin regeneration. Use it to get rid of small scars, for example, those that are left after acne. However, to restore the broken layers of elastin in the deeper layers of the epidermis, vitamin E, unfortunately, can not.
Creams and other agents with vitamin E, however, are good for the prevention of stretch marks, as they support the health and skin elasticity.
Cosmetic procedures that reduce stretch marks
Enough about the ways and means to remove stretch marks do not help. Despite the almost hopeless situation, yet there are some procedures that have shown positive results in clinical trials. These funds do not make your skin like a baby, but they can significantly reduce the appearance of stretch marks and appearance of unaesthetic body.
Tretinoin
In another way, this substance called retinoic acid, and is often prescribed by dermatologists to treat various skin problems. Some studies have shown that tretinoin can have a positive effect on stretch marks. More precisely, it is a decrease by 20% when used regularly for 2-3 months. 20% is certainly not a lot of that yet, unlike other tools, it provides at least some result.
Laser resurfacing
Very popular now skin rejuvenation procedures. According to research, 4-5 procedures skin resurfacing laser show visible results in the fight against stretch marks.
Chemical peels.
20% of chemical peel helps reduce stretch marks. This type of chemical peel penetrates much deeper so used only by experienced specialists.
What is the outcome?
It is not necessary, without thinking to buy advertised cosmetics manufacturers that promise to save you from the stretch in a short time. Some of them are not even able to prevent the appearance of stretch marks, not that treat existing ones.
What to do? Carefully take care of themselves and maintain the elasticity of the skin not only creams and proper nutrition and sufficient water. If possible, use the funds from the stretch effect of which has already been proven in research or practice.
