I don’t know anyone who is happy with the stretch marks they have, but they are happy when they find out that they are not 100% permanent. The two main causes are pregnancy and rapid weight gain.

While stretch marks eventually move to white or off white color, they start off with purple or red lines. Just because you are not pregnant, does not mean you cannot get Stretch Marks. And just because you are not female, does not mean you cannot get them either!

Thankfully, there are treatments for stretch marks. There are some very smart and scientific remedies.

In Dermabrasion the surface of the skin is literally removed by a process of sanding. The aim of dermabrasion is to remove (or at least lessen) the appearance of scars, damage from the sun or dark spots.

Good diet and nutritional supplements have a big impact on the skin. Lots of rest and avoiding excessive sun exposure can help the skin’s ability to heal.

The main warnings are as always, being put under general anesthetic is always something to be concerned with. It can be life-threatening and has risks involved. Make sure you speak to more than one doctor when considering a procedure like this.

Be Warned: Having a general anesthetic is NOT something to be taken lightly; it carries inherent risks and can be life-threatening. Always seek a second medical opinion (speak to more than one doctor).

In Microdermabrasion the surface layer of the skin is removed by using a special wand with a roughened surface that lightly sands the skin. The shed skin particles are removed via a suction device attached to the wand.

Here in Microdermabrasion, the top surface layer of skin is removed by a lighter wand that sands the skin. The dead layer of skin is removed by a vacuum device that sucks the skin away.

One thing you can do is ask the people trying to sell you any Stretch Mark Removal treatment to show you before and after photographs of their last 50 clients.
