A lot of people have had to deal with stretch marks and it shouldn’t be something to be embarrassed about. People of all different ages and ethnic backgrounds can get stretch marks. Men can get it too. There are different types of stretch marks and the color will give you an idea of what treatments you should look at.
With silver stretch marks you will need to go for a totally different approach compared to someone with red stretch marks because of the age of the marks. With silver marks you will discover that it’s a lot more difficult to get rid of them because they are much older.
When dealing with old stretch marks it’s possibly best you go for the laser therapy because it’s actually been proven to work. Other treatments such as vitamin C and cocoa butter might work OK for young marks or preventing them in the first place. However with the older marks you might find you are just wasting your time.
Another treatment that looks pretty scary is what’s called a derma roller. It’s made quite a stir in the beauty industry because the likes of Angelina Jolie have been using it. It’s not for the faint-hearted because it uses needles to puncture the skin. This encourages natural collagen production and allows for better absorption of other topical treatments.
So if you have stretch marks, it’s a good idea to think about what type you have. Just because someone is having great results with one treatment doesn’t mean to say that you will too. The person having success might have very new marks whilst your stretch marks might be years old.
If you are at all unsure you ought to consult a doctor or dermatologist who can look at your skin and give their honest and experienced opinion on the best course of treatment for you.
