Stretch marks are very difficult to treat once they are formed in our body. The majority of dermatologists say stretch marks can not be treated when there is already a stretch of the skin, but we can choose alternative practices to avoid the appearances.
The first thing to do is keep the skin hydrated, dry skin are more susceptible to stretch marks, we need to apply creams rich in vitamin E and vitamin A. Another aspect we must consider is the weight. We should not gain weight and lose weight fast, because we are forcing the skin to reposition itself continuously.
Food is also critical. It is necessary to take at least four liters of water per day which will not only keep our kidneys clean and healthy constantly but also keep hydrated inside. You need to eat fruits and steamed vegetables.
The stretch marks are caused by lack of vitamin B5 or pantothenic acid and minerals such as copper, zinc and silicon. Therefore we should take nutritions from our diet. Recommended natural sources include wheat germ oil, seaweed, nuts, eggs, dairy, milk, whole grains, soy, yeast, potatoes, liver, peas, poultry, shellfish, pumpkin and crustaceans. If we maintain a diet which contains these types of foods, we can reduce the chances of stretch marks and also live healthy.
The laser is another method that is used as a treatment for stretch marks. The laser beam penetrates the skin and the heat produced in deep layers of collagen activation by increasing the elasticity in the dermis. As a result we get a smooth and uniform skin, the number of applications always depend on the type of pile and how our skin is damaged.
You should remove stretch marks soon after they appear, when they are still new. Once they have faded to a white or silver color they will be much more difficult to get rid of.
