There are many causes of stretch marks, such as pregnancy, weight gain and regular growth. This means nearly everyone has them to some extent, but no one wants them. If your stretch marks bother you, here are a few ways to get rid of them.
Microneedling
Skin renew microneedling RF uses small, insulated needles to make tiny holes in the skin and deliver radio frequency energy. This triggers the body’s natural healing process, telling you skin to produce more collagen. This will help heal your stretch marks, making your skin a more desirable color and texture.
Laser Treatments
These treatments work similarly to microneedling, except they use energy from a laser rather than radio frequency. The technician will numb you and then use a laser to send pulses of energy into the skin that tells your body to make more collagen.
Retinol Creams
Retinol is another way to stimulate collagen production without a specialized procedure. It’s not as affective as microneedling or laser treatments, but it’s easily the next best thing.
Self Tanning Lotions
A faux tan won’t make your stretch marks go away, but it can help cover them by blending the skin in that area. Plus, the healthy glow is sure to give you a confidence boost.
Vitamin E
Oils or creams containing vitamin E are great for healing scars and improving elasticity of the skin. This is a light, gentle alternative to heavy creams and can be applied daily.
Body Makeup
Makeup isn’t just for faces. You can get special body foundations that help blend imperfections the same way they do on your face. If you want a formula that will last all day and won’t rub off on clothes, look for products intended to cover tattoos.
Whether you’re trying to heal or cover your stretch marks, there are several procedures and products that will leave you feeling more beautiful than ever.
