Breasts Stretch Marks and Their Treatment

Breast stretch marks are streaks of skin that occur after excessive stretching of the skin or due to hormonal changes. Stretch marks are accompanied by a significant reduction of skin elasticity. They appear mainly on the breasts, abdomen, thighs and buttocks, shoulders and lower back. Initially, stretch marks are slightly raised and red and then take a whitish appearance. Those most prone to stretch marks are those whose skin is poor in collagen.

Stretch marks can be caused by:
- Pregnancy: Stretch marks appear below the navel, hips or breasts in the second half of the pregnancy period
- Significant weight gain
- Puberty

Treatment of stretch marks (There are three main techniques.)

1. Laser therapy

The laser sends a beam of light that turns into heat when it reaches the epidermis. This causes inflammation and the progressive formation of collagen in the stretch marks. Laser treatment helps with increasing the firmness of the skin and offers good results when it comes to breasts stretch marks removal.

Peeling: This treatment method operates mainly in the epidermis and harmonizes the skin appearance. The combination of the two methods is often necessary in order to get the best results.

2. Abdominoplasty

Tummy tucks can sometimes remove stretch marks contained within the area where there is excess skin can be removed and stretch marks located in the upper side cannot be removed. The possibilities of action are limited with stretch marks around the umbilicus.

The intervention improves the situation without completely eliminating the problem.

3. Stretch Marks Creams

Creams for the treatment of stretch marks are not really effective. They can delay the appearance of stretch marks by nourishing and hydrating the skin. But if you are prone to having stretch marks, they will appear anyway. They can reduce the existing stretch marks: the result is highly variable from one person to another.

Stretch marks and argan oil

Stretch marks are ruptures of the epidermis. Generally, women are victims of this phenomenon.

This also happens when they follow successive diets. It should be noted, however, that some women have a predisposition to stretch marks.

These body modifications result in the disruption of the elastic epidermal layers generally localized on the abdomen, the buttocks and thighs or hips. There are two kinds of reasons to explain the appearance of breasts stretch marks: too great a stretch of the skin and hormonal changes. They often appear in parallel, first red at the time of the rupture of the elastic fibers of the skin and then they take an atrophied look.

The effects of anti-stretch mark argan oil have been scientifically proven.
