What To Expect From A Stretch Mark Cream
March 21st, 2011 Filed Under General
Every stretch mark lotion, cream, concoction has some claim about how awesome it is at removing stretch marks. Almost all of them are either fake or exaggerated. If you’re planning to use one of these creams in your own battle against stretch marks, it’s not exactly a bad idea, but you have to know what you’re getting yourself into. What can stretch marks realistically achieve in terms of the reduction of existing stretch marks, and how fast can they achieve it? Here’s a glimpse…
So first off, you have to note that, starting from already having stretch marks, you’re at an immediate disadvantage. You are going to have a much harder time getting rid of stretch marks after they’re already fully fledged, than while they were still developing.
So say they are all there, fully fledged, what can creams do? So first, you might find that a stretch mark cream can help lighten the color of your skin in the area and on the actual mark, making the stretch mark, in the least a little less noticeable. This is not curing the stretch mark, but it’s not negligible either. This can be a real benefit when it comes time for beach season. How fast can skin lightening take effect? Depending on what cream it is, this can happen with consistent application within your first 2 weeks of usage. One such cream that’s known to function in this way is Trilastin SR – worth a further look if you’re into that kind of effect.
The next thing that stretch mark creams can do is repair the damaged skin cells below the surface. This is a long term effect. If you can persist with using these creams for a period greater than 2 months, you’re likely to notice a change in the nature of your stretch marks like it protruding less, the width and length of it shortening and more. You can also notice a tightening in the area which adds to these effects and the one previously mentioned. Ultimately this is what you want, because the fixing and re tightening of your skin is an effect that doesn’t just get seen, but felt.
So those are some clues as to what you can expect from stretch mark lotions. IT doesn’t happen for every woman, but results do speak for themselves. Give Trilastin or another such cream a try and see if you can see the changes we discuss here happening on your own skin.
God bless.
