What are stretch marks ?
In the world, 9 out of 10 women, or around 23 million – are affected by stretch marks. Stretch marks, also known as singular stria or striae, are scars caused by tearing of the deep layer of skin – dermis. Stretch marks come with various visual distortions such as rough texture, hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation. Stretch marks are usually the result of stretching of the skin caused by rapid growth, weight gain, steroids, hormone replacement therapy, some creams, pregnancy, and other factors promoting irregular rapid expansion of skin. Some stretch marks are based on hereditary skin composition factors that affect its ability to repair. One group of people may go through pregnancy just fine while other groups develop major stretch marks areas.
Fresh stretch marks have pink to red color variations, and old settled stretch marks fade to light white color. Overtime, old stretch marks seem to blend in with surrounding skin to a certain degree, however, their rough and irregular texture always gives them away.
Can one get rid of stretch marks ?
Yes and No. There is no one definite answer for all cases. Success depends on age of strech marks, severity, skin composition, diet, and choice of treatment.
How to get rid of Red stretch marks ?
Generally, as soon as fresh red or pink stretch marks develop one should treat them immediately. Red stretch marks can be cured by 90% if treated right away. Doctors usually prescribe Retin-A (Tretinoin) in case of new and fresh stretch marks. Retin-A is the acid version of Vitamin A and helps to increase collagen formation in dermis. Since red stretch marks are fresh, creams better penetrate the skin, and are great solution for their removal.
How to get rid of White stretch marks ?
White stretch marks are old stretch marks usually year old or longer. They are thinner than red stretch marks. They are characterized by the lack of coloration and the shriveling of furrows have been caused by a process called collagen remodeling. White stretch marks are not only texturally different but are hypopigmented (white color or colorless). The inflammation of the initial pink stage and the remodeling stage later on have caused the dissolution of pigment.
Although hard to remove, it is possible to significantly diminish their appearance that in most cases may pass as “100% removed”. The older and deeper stretch marks are harder to get rid of but, even in those cases, it is possible to repair and heal them up to 75%. Face it, stretch marks are scars and will require proper methods and dedication to work with for satisfactory results.
