What is the cause of stretch marks?
November 18th, 2010 Filed Under General
While many women are frantically trying to find the right remedy to their uncomfortable stretch marks, many others are still at the point of wondering why they got stretch marks in the first place. In this article we are going to take a brief look at why stretch marks appear in the first place and then at how stretch marks can be reduced and even in the right scenario, removed.
We know stretch marks are caused by pregnancy, but what the heck is it about having a baby that attracts them to us like magnets? Stretch marks are caused by damage to the middle layer of skin that usually protects the outer layer from damage. Tiny tears to this layer of skin due to multiple causes can cause the appearance of these little, usually vertical marks, along the line on which the skin has been damaged.
Stretch marks also effect different women differently. Depending on the natural tone of your skin you may end up with stretch marks that are either red, brown, or white, and which ever yours is will have an effect on how you select the right treatment for you. For example treatment with laser is said to be more effective on white stretch marks than on red ones. And if you are unlucky enough to have the very dark red stretch marks, you might find no treatment at all is valuable or makes any difference.
When it comes to choosing a treatment you’re literally walking into a minefield. The number of companies and hospitals selling various treatment options can be completely overwhelming. Fortunately with enough research a treatment that suits both one’s condition and one’s budget can usually be found. It might not necessarily be Trilastin UK, but it could be something.
In order of price the treatments usually range from topical creams at the lower end, to full scale surgery at the other end. Surgery of course being probably the only thing that will 100% remove the appearance of your marks permanently and without ongoing damage or problems.
