How to Get Rid of Stretch Marks (and Feel more Attractive)
Many people cannot stand the sight of the stretch marks (striae) that have appeared on their skin. These scar-like imperfections that appear usually in lines often develop in areas where increased amount of fat is stored.
Many people wonder how they can get rid of these embarrassing skin impressions so they can feel more attractive. This occurs by use of one of these methods:
Plastic surgery: People might undergo a treatment such as a tummy tuck or liposuction to remove these unwanted scars. The results of this method of treatment may vary. It may work for some people better than others, but overall it has resulted in vast improvements of skin appearance overall.
Micro abrasion: Often this procedure involves the complete exfoliation of the top layer of skin. The main ingredient used for this cleansing method is aluminum oxide micro crystals. This mild solution is usually applied to wrinkles and skin blemishes that appear on the first layer of the skin. However, in this case it is used for removing stretch marks.
Laser Treatment: This is a modern alternative to surgery. It usually involves procedures such as the use of a series of pulsed dye applications. Research shows that it is effective for use on most patients. Fractional laser resurfacing is also used at times.
Additional methods used to help get rid of the appearance of stretch marks have also been applied. These methods of cover-up include the following:
Oils and Creams: Further research needs to be conducted on the effectiveness of certain types of oils and creams, as well as various ointments. Some products work better than others, with at least a moderate reduction in the appearance of skin scars or tears.
Sunless Tanning Lotion: Waterproof tanning solutions are probably most useful for those who plan to go swimming. Several types of products of varying shades are available. You may want to test these on an inconspicuous part of the body prior to application.
Body Make-up: The use of this is very similar to that of sunless tanning lotion. It usually is available in different shades and some product might be somewhat water-resistant. You might want to test a product like this in a hidden spot on your body before you use it on exposed portions of your skin.
Fashionable Clothing: Certain types of clothing can be worn to help you feel better about your self. Many attractive outfits will bring out the best in you and hide your skin flaws. Certain stylish swimsuits, skirts, and blouses might do the trick.
You can use the above-mentioned tips to help you feel better about your skin and your self. However, you need to remember there is one thing more important than how you feel about your body.
Regardless of whether or not you have stretch marks you need to know how you feel about yourself. If you love your self and you feel attractive it will show, and people may not even notice your flaws. Believe in your self and be good to your self.
