Stretch Marks

Men's opinions on stretch marks and varicose veins can vary widely. Some may not mind them at all, seeing them as a natural part of life and beauty, while others may have preferences influenced by societal standards. Ultimately, many men value qualities like confidence and personality over physical imperfections. It's important to remember that individual preferences differ greatly.

Stretch marks, or striae, are primarily caused by rapid changes in body size, such as growth spurts, pregnancy, or weight fluctuations, rather than dry skin itself. However, extremely dry skin can make the skin less elastic and more prone to damage, potentially increasing the risk of developing stretch marks during periods of rapid stretching. Maintaining skin hydration can help support skin elasticity, but it is not a direct cause of stretch marks.

Palmer's has a cocoa butter cream formulated to remove stretch marks from childbirth. It doesn't fully eliminate marks but it lightens and smoothens the skin surface.

Yes, it is okay for a 14 year old girl to have stretch marks on her thighs, knees, and breast area even if she has caramel skin tone. Stretch marks are normal and many people have them.

Revitol stretch mark is actually a stretch mark cream. It has gotten rave reviews on different sites. It is a revolutionary product that has provided many new moms with their figure back again.

Yeah, stretch mark creams can only lessen the appearance of stretch marks, they do not keep them from happening. You can try various proceedures after the fact to get rid of scars-or lessen their apprearance-such as laser treatments.

Below is an article that explains laser treatments for scars.

yup it surely can do it :)

Probably she got fat all of a sudden and the stomach skin didn't have time to adjust so stretch marks showed up.

Cosmetics formulators would regard stretch mark lotions and anti-wrinkle creams as two different categories of product, with rather different sets of ingredients especially in the most modern, science-based formulas. However, if you have one type of blemish, but you have cream designed for the other type, it wouldn't hurt to try the product you have and it very well might help. In other words, if you have stretch mark lotion, you can try it on wrinkles too, and vice versa.

Make sure, however, you abide the warnings on the cosmetic label in any case.

Yes it works really good! but how much you put on and stuff like that depends on your skin type because it could make you break out or if you put to much. In addition, nutrition is the most important thing in fighting stretch marks the natural way and they really can be erased completely if you are patient and disciplined.

== == * Laser surgery works best on stretch marks that are new and still red or purple. Laser surgery for stretch marks is very expensive - you need multiple treatments at $400 - $1,500 per treatment. Stretch mark cream, on the other hand, has been clinically proven to work and is much cheaper! Can stretch marks be removed without surgery? No. There are many over the counter creams available for the reduction of the appearance of stretch marks. These creams reduce the swelling of new marks and the redness of new and old ones. Surgery is available, and very pricey, and probably not worth the cost since I don't think insurance would cover it. Talk to a Pharmacist for a good over the counter cream. This should work in time. If you don't see the results that you are looking for, don't worry, they WILL reduce on their own. Eventually they will turn skin color and skin texture, and they can be tanned too. * Sorry to say this but they can't be tanned. They will always be a different colour from the rest of your skin. Try massaging in circular motions with lotion that has vitamin E in it. At least once a day or every 2 days and see what happens ... ;-)

* While stretch mark creams might not be that effective on their own, I've heard that using these creams in combination with microdermabrasion treatment can help. See, there are two types of stretch mark creams; one type has collagen in it which your body needs to fix the stretch marks. The other type of cream has collagen inducing ingredients which cause your body to produce it's own collagen. The problem with both of these creams however, is that in order for the collagen to be effective it has to get to the deeper layers of skin. Rubbing a cream on the surface of the skin doesn't do this. So, if you do microdermabrsion on your stretch marks first, that takes off the top layer of your skin. Then if you apply the stretch mark cream after, the ingredients have a better chance of getting to the deeper layers of skin where they can be effective. * Revitagen stretch mark cream uses peptides to to penetrate the skin and heal the collagen matrix. Revitagen also has Siegesbeckia orientalis, which has been used for centuries to heal wounds. (Stretch marks are tears in the collagen matrix.) Using coco butter for pregnancy takes aways your stretch marks but you have to use it every day.

Stretch marks can be removed by laser surgery as well as with by using special creams, it all depends how much you want to spend. Laser surgery is a costly treatment and it may also include some side effects with it but special creams like Skin Doctors Stretch Away Stretch Mark Cream can help you to remove stretch mark without any side effect and with in economical budget too. Skin Doctors Stretch Away Stretch Mark Cream is a unique combination containing naturally based ingredients, that helps to visibly reduce the appearance of stretch marks, and to prevent new ones appearing.

Stretch marks are usually the result of the tissue under the body grows faster than the skin can expand, causing it to stretch. So you might have gained some weight in your bum at a fast rate creating stretch marks.

Sadly there is no real cure for stretch marks. Cocoa butter has been a long used natural remedy to help combat the amount and severity of stretch marks. Cocoa butter can usually be found in the lotion section of any pharmacy or grocery store.

You can try using honey. Just put a warm rag on the stretch marks area then a some of the honey. Let it sit for five minutes and the rub off the excess with a warm rag. Stretch marks fade in time.

Absolutely. First of all of all, you're likely still developing through puberty, and second - women's breasts are not completely identical. They are often different shapes and sizes.

Stretch marks can go away,but for this to happen,you need to do some exercise to unsure your succes!

well in my opinion stretch marks never go but they can fade so they are not noticabal and it is not fast and it is not very cheap either, because if you get the cheap stuff it wont help keep them away as well as fading them away. but you can get laser treatment but that doesn't even get rid of them fully, but if you want them fading quik you need laser treatment.

If they realy like you it will not be an issue. only shallow people are botherd about things like that.

I'm not a man and I cannot allow myself to generalize or speak on the behalf of all men. I think that it depends on individual taste and or the severity of stretch marks. Neither a man nor a woman should be considered superficial for not liking stretch marks, although there certainly are people who feel that there is no true value to a woman other than her outer appearance, but that's another case altogether. Unless someone has a fetish for stretch marks I don't believe that anyone finds them appealing. I have yet to meet a person who does.

Stretchmarks are formed in deep tissue, past the outer epidermal layer. For an effective stretchmark removal product, it has to permeate the outer layers and work on the inner dermal layer, to activate collagen synthesis and elastin.

Most stretchmarks creams only work on the outer layer, making it appear smoother, and less seen. After stopping use for 1-2 weeks, they will look almost exactly the same as before.

The best products for this, apart from dermabrasion, laser, etc are those that use essential oils. This is because essential oils are researched to pass through into inner layers of skin and give good results for it.

Here is one that helped me - samples also available, so you dont need to buy a lot

No. A stretch mark is a thinning in the skin and removing layers of skin would tend to make it worse.
