Reducing Stretch Marks


Initially stretch marks manifest themselves as red scars, which over a period of time turn white and then become sunken. Looked at microscopically, what happens is that the collagen and elastin that supports your skin, thins out and becomes broken. As your skin thins, it becomes more transparent allowing the tiny capillaries (blood vessels) just beneath the surface of your skin to show through. It is this appearance of the blood gorged capillaries that results in the purplish scarring, which in time turns white as the blood evacuates the small veins.

When this is stretched, the body's natural elasticity tends to break down, causing inflammation and bleeding in the capillaries, which translates reddish or purple coloured lines.When it heals, scar ssue appears in the form of stretch marks, or striae. For some, these do fade with time, but for many, they fail to diminish and can cause the sufferer to experiences feelings of low self esteem and a lack of self-confidence.

If you are plagued by stretch marks, then try going online to check out the range of stretch mark cream products that are available. Scientific research has shown that the inclusion of ingredients such as Registril, Phaseolus Lunatis, Rutin and Darutoside, can diminish stretch marks by between 50 and 72%. Tracking down a stretch mark cream that includes these products can make a significant difference to your appearance, especially when taken in conjunction with a good well balanced diet, and a regular physical exercise routine.
