A Look at Stretch Mark Removal TreatmentsNatural Stretch Mark Removal Treatments Natural stretch mark removal treatments consist of using creams and lotions as well as following a healthy diet. A healthy diet based on plenty of servings of fresh fruits and vegetables and whole grains can assist in improving the appearance of the skin. Creams and lotions with ingredients like Vitamin E, lanolin, and emu oil are good for keeping the skin moisturized. If possible, you can speak with your doctor and get a steroid cream with Retin A or alpha hydroxy. These creams are effective at reducing inflammation, encouraging renewal of collagen and elastin, and lessening the severity of stretch marks and improving their appearance. Popular Surgical Stretch Mark Removal Treatments Laser treatments are the most popular of all surgical stretch mark removal treatments. Laser treatments are generally not covered by health insurance because they are considered cosmetic procedures but you have to consult with your health insurance company to know for sure. Laser treatment can get pricy especially since a series of laser treatments are necessary in order to get the best results. Laser stretch mark removal treatments are effective for some people but not for all but they are safe and there is a low incidence of side effects. Lasers are used to remove the skin damaged by stretch marks and eventually new skin grows to replace it. People who have red stretch marks are especially good candidates for laser stretch mark removal treatments. Surgery is a stretch mark removal treatment that is losing popularity because it is very invasive, has a long recovery time, and is expensive. In some cases people get tummy tucks in order to get rid of the skin under the belly button, which is highly susceptible to developing stretch marks, especially after childbirth. If you have stretch marks and want to start a stretch mark removal treatment, you are either on your own or need to consult a cosmetic dermatologist who specializes in stretch mark removal treatments. If you are willing to shell out the cash without knowing whether you are going to get results or not, surgical options may be a good option for you. If you want to try your hand at natural methods or prescription creams prior to resorting to more complicated procedures, see what products you can find over-the-counter or talk to your doctor. So what's stopping you? Take this information and see what more you can find out about stretch mark removal treatments and which ones are the best for you. |
