3 Ways to Get Rid of Unwanted Stretch Marks

Common misconceptions suggest that stretch marks only impact women after pregnancy or after gaining weight but that’s not true. Unwanted stretch marks can occur in men and women after:

Weight gain
Rapid muscle development can lead to scarring
Dieting
Puberty

Any one of these can lead to your body developing stretch marks that can greatly affect your confidence and happiness. If you’re tired of trying different methods that only offer temporary results, these 3 methods are proven to help reduce your stretch marks for good

Fraxel Laser Therapy –

This fractional laser treatment makes small “injuries” in your skin where the stretch marks are while also leaving normal skin in between. When the untreated skin recognizes the “injuries” it creates a response that helps heal the treated area quickly and it replaces the stretch marked skin with new healthy skin.
eTwo EMatrix Laser

A gentler, more efficient method, the eTwo EMatrix treatment uses radio frequency combined with effective resurfacing. This leads to improved skin texture while also tightening the skin in those treatment areas as well. This method has become extremely popular because it requires less recovery time than other treatment methods.
At Home Treatment –

Completely getting rid of stretch marks may not be possible but many people have had varying degrees of success reducing stretch marks with at home remedies and treatments. Whether it’s creams with Vitamin A, homemade sugar remedies or other natural materials, pairing home treatments with more effective laser treatments can be a great way to ensure you’re getting the best, most effective results possible.
