Microdermabrasion for Stretch Marks

Many of us will have heard of microdermabrasion by now as it is one of the most popular skin care treatments available from beauty spas. clinics and beauty salons on both sides of the Atlantic ocean. The reason for the treatment's success is it's success in a number of areas relating to skin care and is mostly known as an anti-aging treatment but it is also extremely effective in treating other things such as stretch marks.

This incredible treatment has been described as sandblasting as the process is extremely similar in that the machine blasts crystals onto the skin to remove dead skin cells and other dirt and debris. It also removes the very top layer of the dermis which helps speed up the skin's renewal processes by forcing an increase in the production of skin cells. The process also encourages an acceleration in the production of collagen which is why microdermabrasion for stretch marks (and other forms of scar tissue, such as acne scars) is so successful.

While many folk find themselves astounded at how well microdermabrasion performs in the treatment of many skin complaints it is not the "miracle cure" that many claim it to be. Unfortunately such claims can cause severe disappointment especially if you suffer from extremely deep stretch marks or acne scars. Sadly, while the treatment will reduce the visibility greatly, it can not remove such deep scarring which can only really be treated successfully with a much harsher treatment such as dermabrasion or a strong chemical peel.

However, if you only suffer from minor stretch marks and you wish to have them removed you will find that microdermabrasion is capable of removing them. It has been proven medically that this treatment can easily remove some crow's feet ( the very fine lines that can be seen coming from the external corners of the eye). It can certainly reduce the apparent depth of scars to such a degree that they are no longer visible (or at least not so noticeable without close inspection).

It appears strange that some women suffer from stretch marks while others have no problems at all, even when pregnant. The reasons for this are complex but much has to do with the elasticity of the skin in the first place. Stretch marks appear when the skin is stretched beyond the point at which it can recover and the collagen collapses or is damaged. While microdermabrasion stimulates the natural processes of the skin it also leads to an increase in the production of collagen which further helps in the regeneration of the skin and the removal of such scarring.

Many believe that preparation is the key to avoiding stretch marks and there are a number of products available on the market which claim to reduce the risks. Other products claim to speed up the healing process but most work along similar lines in that they help to increase the skin's elasticity by the use of moisturizers. However, even if you use such products, it is still possible for stretch marks to develop (though the use of such products may mean that they are less dramatic than they would have been without their use).

Immediately following birth a woman's body is in desperate need of recuperation. Your body is exhausted of minerals. vitamins and proteins and this can show itself in many ways. At this time your skin will also be in poor condition and it is vitally important that you take good care of yourself and your skin at the earliest opportunity.

Why not treat yourself to a pampering at your local beauty salon, health clinic or spa? Most places offer sessions of microdermabrasion so you will be able to give it a try while you relax, ready to return refreshed and ready to face the trials and challenges of parenthood.
