Pregnancy / Stretch marks: info and advice for future mothers
Stretch marks, what is it?
Stretch marks are unsightly stripes that become an aesthetic problem that obsesses millions of people, mostly women. They result from the breaking of the elastic fibers of the epidermis after a rapid and brutal stretching of the skin following a catch or a loss of weight.
Where can they appear?
They appear mainly on the belly, breasts, hips, thighs, buttocks, lower back, shoulders and inside arms. Significant hormonal changes can reveal these "scars".
How to recognize them?
Stretch marks, which appear during a pregnancy, are first red then become white with time.
Can we prevent them?
The miracle solution does not exist, but prevention can be effective. Quick, fast what does it take to prevent stretch marks? It is necessary...
- have a healthy and balanced diet, which promotes a stable weight.
- practice a sporting activity.
- massage palpate-roll with moisturizing lotion to regenerate collagen fibers. This system relaxes the skin, makes it more elastic and more resistant to stretching.
- use anti-stretch mark cosmetic creams that nourish the skin. Be careful some creams are discouraged during the pregnancy. Talk to your pharmacist or dermatologist.
Are there anti-stretch mark treatments?
These marks can fade through cosmetic surgery, laser, chemical or mechanical peels, medicated creams or photomodulation (also called luminostimulation or chromostimulation). These treatments are often contraindicated for pregnant or breastfeeding women.
In any case, it is better to consult your dermatologist to know the treatment that you will agree best and its price.
