Tips on how to remove stretch marks
by MariAnne
 When a person gains weight suddenly, the skin expands to accommodate because of increasing in body weight and its shape. It is true that skin is elastic and can be stretched to a certain limit. However, once the limit is crossed the innermost layer of the skin tears as it can stretch no more. Once that underlying layer tears and became intact, the skin appears to be streaked. As soon as the skin tears, pink or purple lines appear as the capillaries burst, and after some time these lines look slivery white. These lines are called stretch marks, which are in fact scars. As you might conclude, they are made as result of skin tearing. Stretch marks occur in the dermis, which is the middle layer of the skin. This layer is elastic and hence allows the skin to retain its shape. When repeatedly stretched the dermis breaks causing problem called stretch marks. Most commonly, women and men can have stretch marks on their thighs, abdomen, hips, breasts and upper arms. Once stretch marks appear they are permanent and difficult to get rid of, because they are permanent and cannot be removed. It is fact products that claim that their use can either prevent or remove stretch marks are misleading. The only thing possible is to reduce their visibility, which is also hard job.
Brest augmentation and stretch marksStretch marks are partial thickness tears in the skin from the inside of the skin, and are essentially scars. As with all scars, they are red to purple in color early on, and they generally do fade to a more pale color during some time. Although there is no way to guarantee that stretch marks will not occur with breast augmentation, you can try to prepare the skin for the procedure. It is important to prepare your skin for the implant and try to prevent stretch marks. In this order, the breast skin must be massaged twice a day with moisturizing agents, which should be done for 2-4 weeks pre-operatively. Twice daily the breast skin is massaged with lotion and, if possible, oil containing Vitamin E and cocoa butter. Beside this lavender or other aromatherapy oils might help as well. There is oil you can find at many stores that is made by Palmer's, which contains Vitamin E and cocoa butter. It would be good if you might add a couple of drops of lavender oil to each application. This technique is also useful for preventing stretch marks that might occur in some other situations beside breast augmentation. It is common problem in pregnancy, weight gain, muscle building and growth of body parts during puberty. Remember the skin preparation here is done in order to help prevent the formation of stretch marks and not cure already made stretch marks. The fact it is impossible to remove stretch marks once they are present. There are some treatments available for reducing the appearance stretch marks, such as microdermabrasion, but none that will remove them. This or any other approach must be started well before the condition that causes the stretch marks occurs. Beside this, the only true way to really prevent stretch marks is to lose or gain weight slowly. These lines start out red and then evolve to a white depressed scar with a different advancement than adjacent tissue, and they are caused by breaking of collagen which then heals with a scar. Actually, you do not have to have breast augmentation, be pregnant, fat, or big to get stretch marks. As a matter of fact, it is a very common skin condition, but most people who have them are embarrassed by them and keep them to themselves. There are some people who have good genetics and some do not when it comes to skin elasticity, which is why some have stretch marks.
