Can stretch marks be prevented? The effect is not very good

Can stretch marks be prevented? Of course they can, but the effect is not very good. However, it is still necessary to do it. Let us learn more about stretch marks below.

Can stretch marks be prevented?

Applying oil or cream on your belly will not prevent stretch marks! No! At most, it can relieve dryness, tightness and itching of the skin. Let's put it this way, the skin is composed of the epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous tissue. Any skin care products, whether they add new ingredients or use high technology, can only stay on the surface of the skin and can hardly penetrate and absorb into the dermis. Stretch marks, that is, broken fibers, are precisely in the dermis where skin care products cannot penetrate. Therefore, the furthest distance in the world is not between life and death, but between you spending a lot of money on the epidermis and the stretch marks in the dermis are indifferent.

How to get rid of stretch marks

1. Apply a hot towel for a few minutes before use every day, then apply the Mama Beauty Cream evenly on the stretch marks, gently rub and massage until the skin is completely absorbed. But you must persist. If you apply it when you remember, and don’t apply it when you don’t remember, and don’t insist on using it in the correct way, no effective thing will cure the stretch marks on your body.

2. Injection to remove stretch marks. Injection to remove stretch marks works by producing high concentrations of autologous growth factors and injecting them into skin tissue to repair damaged skin and delay skin aging.

3. In terms of diet, you should supplement with rich vitamins and minerals, eat more foods rich in protein, try to eat less oily, sweet and salty foods, develop scientific living habits, do not smoke, drink less, eat less irritating, sweet and fried foods, and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits.

4. After taking a shower every day, apply high-quality and highly moisturizing skin care oil to keep the skin elastic and prevent tissue from being torn. Also, do proper massage to promote metabolism.

5. Use the stretch mark prevention gel creams sold in the market, but these products are best used before stretch marks appear, then the prevention effect can reach 90%. However, if used after stretch marks appear, they basically lose the effect of eliminating stretch marks, and at most can only lighten the pigmentation of the marks.

6. Surgery to remove stretch marks is a skin "polishing" performed under anesthesia. Special tools are used to smooth out the cracks in the epidermis. It is effective quickly, but it has high risks, high costs, and a very high rebound rate, and it is impossible to completely eliminate them.

7. Laser removal of stretch marks. When using laser to remove cracks and scars, the skin surface will be damaged over a large area. The epidermal cells will be burned or even killed by ultraviolet light. After the removal, the skin will not be able to breathe, sweat, or metabolize normally, which will eventually lead to the formation of large, smooth scars.

8. Develop scientific living habits, do not smoke, drink less, eat less irritating, sweet and fried foods, and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits.

Is massage for stretch marks useful?

In addition to care, massage is also needed to eliminate stretch marks. Many people have questions about this. Is massage really useful? Which parts should be massaged? Here we will tell you in detail!

In fact, massage is useful. Massage can protect the skin to a certain extent, so as to prevent the skin fibers from breaking and forming stretch marks to a certain extent. However, remember not to use too much force with your fingers when massaging, so as not to hurt the baby in the belly. In addition, you must persist in time. It is recommended to insist on abdominal massage from the third month of pregnancy to the third month after giving birth, which can effectively prevent the formation of stretch marks or fade the fine lines that have already formed. So which specific parts should be massaged?

1. Waist

Use the little finger side of the back of your hand, or the protruding part of the metacarpophalangeal joint of the little finger, ring finger, and middle finger to massage your waist. Through the compound movement of wrist flexion and extension and forearm rotation, this will help relieve skin pressure and play a certain role in eliminating stretch marks.

2. Hips

You can apply some olive oil specially for pregnant mothers, then place your hands under your buttocks, and use the strength of your wrists to gently massage from bottom to top and from inside to outside.

3. Abdomen

This is undoubtedly an important massage area. Starting from the navel, massage in circles in a clockwise direction continuously. When making circles, you should start from small to large and spread outward until the entire belly is evenly coated.

Massage is something that requires persistence. Don’t think that you can just do it once or twice. You need to persist for a while to see the effect!

Can laser surgery be used on stretch marks?

If the stretch marks are severe and do not disappear after a long time, new mothers who have the financial conditions can consider laser surgery to remove them. This method is to "polish" the skin under anesthesia, using special tools to smooth the cracks on the epidermis. It is effective quickly but has high risks, high costs, and a very high rebound rate. It is impossible to completely eliminate them, so experts usually do not recommend it.

When laser is used to remove stretch marks, the skin surface will be damaged over a large area. The epidermal cells will be burned or even killed by ultraviolet light. After the operation, the skin will not be able to breathe and drain normally, resulting in the formation of large smooth scars.

Finally, we remind women who are preparing to get pregnant or have just gotten pregnant to pay attention to skin care and take good protection as early as possible to effectively prevent and reduce stretch marks. Do not let it go and wait until after delivery to find ways to remove stretch marks. For pregnant mothers or new mothers who have already developed stretch marks, do not worry too much, relax your mind, and insist on active care to achieve the best effect of removing stretch marks.

Once stretch marks appear, it is difficult to completely eliminate them, so prevention is very important. For example, avoid excessive weight gain during pregnancy, which causes excessive skin tension and breaks the subcutaneous fibers. Exercise should be strengthened before pregnancy to increase skin elasticity. At the same time, you should eat more fruits and vegetables during pregnancy to supplement adequate vitamins.
