When the skin cracked…
This problem arose in many women. After childbirth or sudden weight loss, we notice such unaesthetic stretch marks on the stomach and thighs, as if the skin in these places was cracked.
Until recently, stretch marks were not treatable. If they arose, then forever. Now, thanks to aesthetic medicine, there are methods to help get rid of them. Which? We are interested in Zhanna Prykhodko, a doctor-dermatologist-cosmetologist of the highest category.
– Why do stretch marks occur at all?
– These are areas of atrophied tissue that arise as a result of sudden changes in weight.
This can happen after pregnancy and childbirth, after breastfeeding (stretch marks appear not only on the stomach, buttocks or thighs, but also on the chest, when after the cessation of feeding the Persians, which were filled with milk, return to their former size), sudden weight loss .
That is why it is recommended to lose weight slowly, with mandatory physical exercises.
Our skin consists of epidermis (outer layer), dermis (middle layer) and deep layer. Traces do not appear on the outside, but in the middle layer, which helps the skin maintain its shape. When the dermis is stretched over a period of time, the skin becomes less elastic and small tears occur.
When the volume is normalized again, the skin shrinks, but those areas in which there is no fat layer and blood vessels remain.-
traces come in different colors: white, red, brown…
What does it depend on?
The color indicates the “freshness” of the stretch marks. When newly emerged, they are pink, red-brown or dark brown, even purple. The “older” stretch marks are paler and lighter. So, over time, these traces become milky white, and then several tones lighter than the skin. Stretch marks do not threaten health, do not affect the functioning of the body. The only problem is aesthetic.
“Apply a moisturizing cream to the skin daily, as well as a nourishing cream with vitamins C, A, E.”
– It is believed that stretch marks cannot be removed…
– It used to be like that. However, now there are methods of aesthetic medicine that can solve the problem. So, when stretch marks are still fresh, mesotherapy will be helpful, which will restore metabolic processes in these areas. Medium peeling, micro-polishing of the skin, laser polishing will help.
Do any creams help here?
There are special creams against traces, but they are only an additional means. In addition, creams have an active effect only in the early stages, when the stretch marks are bright. In general, it is easier to prevent stretch marks than to treat them later. In particular, regularly massage problem areas, especially if you are prone to obesity or have gone on a diet. The best thing is to use a massage brush, so you will improve the microcirculation inside the skin. During pregnancy, if the doctor allows, visit the pool, do physical exercises. Apply a moisturizing cream, as well as a nourishing one, to the skin every day
– with vitamins C, A, E. And if you already havetraces , using such creams will not be superfluous. At least the gaps will become less noticeable.
