Simple Beauty Tips

Many of people across the world suffer from skin which has some kind of stretch mark. Both men and women will find them showing after periods of rapid growth such as puberty. Women, more often than not suffer with them post pregnancy.

They occur as our skin tries to keep up with the rate of growth in the bones, muscles or, in the case of pregnancy, baby. Invariably however, it fails to do so and tiny splits form in the second layer of skin, referred to as the Dermis. These tears appear as red streaks initially and fade gradually to a silvery colour.

The stretch marks in actual fact are areas of skin with reduced levels of collagen. As the dermis is ripped in two during the growth phase, it does not manage to restore itself so that it appears like its former state. Of course, it is only a cosmetic issue as there is practically no medical downside to having these marks, the cosmetic concerns, however, are great. They make you feel self concious in front of people and don’t look very nice.

Treating stretch marks involves increasing the levels of collagen within the Dermis layer of skin. This is best done by increasing your own physical natural ability to generate collagen as opposed to introducing it from external sources. The most common technique for doing this is micro needling, using a Derma roller or other collagen induction therapies.

The other additional benefit of this type of treatment, is the way in which it boosts the effectiveness of oils and creams, such as the very popular bio oil. It gives these lotions the opportunity to permeate the upper levels of skin far more effectively providing a much improved result.

As with anything involving health and wellbeing, it is vital to do your research and go and see your doctor before beginning or using any product or treatment.
