About Stretch Marks

Our skin has this remarkable ability to expand
and contract many times throughout our life.

However when the skin becomes overstretched because of expansion
of the skin underneath, we can be left with a little reminder of its journey
in the form of stretch marks. When this happens you can see red or purple
lines that form over the area of stretched skin. This then fades to silvery
white lines that remain on the skin. 

What is a Stretch Mark?

Stretch marks can occur when the skin overstretches due to fast growth such as during pregnancy, adolescence, weight gain and exercise.

They start off as red/purple lines over the area of skin that has been stretched, and eventually fade to silvery white lines.

Stretch marks are extremely common and develop for many different reasons when the skin becomes overstretched, some of which could include: 

  • Pregnancy 
  • Rapid weight gain or loss
  • Rapid muscle growth in weight trainers
  • Rapid growth in teenagers during puberty

How Do I Prevent Stretch Marks?

Be sun safe  

Ensure you are always practicing sun smart principles. This should improve your overall skin health which in turn will hopefully reduce the appearance of potential markings. 

Keep your skin hydrated 

Applying moisturiser directly after bathing could help it penetrate the skin more effectively promoting softer, healthier skin. Regular massage with DermaScar Stretch Mark Oil containing vitamin E and medical grade silicone can help the skin stay supple and retain moisture. 

Follow a healthy lifestyle 

Drink plenty of water, follow a healthy diet and exercise regularly. This can help lower the risk of developing stretchmarks in certain cases. 

How Do I Reduce Stretch Marks?

Exfoliate

Exfoliating helps even out your skin and promotes overall skin health.  

Avoid Tanning

Stretch marks do not tan so if you were to lay in the sun, the skin around your stretch marks would darken, making the markings stand out more prominently. 

In saying this, using self-tanner can help blend stretch marks in with the rest of your skin. 

This is not as much a permanent solution then it is a cosmetic trick for hiding your stretch marks during the treatment process.
