Stretch Mark Scar Treatment
Stretch marks or striae, as they are called in dermatology, are a form of scarring on the skin with a silvery white hue. They are caused by tearing of the dermis, and over time can diminish but not disappear completely. Stretch marks are generally associated with pregnancy, obesity, and can develop during rapid muscle growth from body building. Stretch marks are the result of the rapid stretching of the skin associated with rapid growth (e.g. puberty) or weight gain (e.g. pregnancy), and anabolic steroid use. Although the skin is fairly elastic, rapid stretching of the skin will leave permanent stretch marks. (Source: WD Writers). Stretch marks (also referred to as striae distensae. Medical terminology for these kinds of markings include striae atrophicae, vergetures, striae cutis distensae, striae gravidarum (in cases where it is caused by pregnancy), lineae atrophicae, striae distensae, linea albicante, or simply striae. A Recent Customers Testimonial: "If you can catch a stretch mark in the process of healing itself, and are diligent enough with slapping on the Rejuveness, you can forget about stretch marks. I'm just...thrilled with the stuff. No, it's not cheap, but it beats 'professional' scar treatments, and it's paid for itself in releasing me from a twelve-odd year addiction to Retin-A... As a post-script: I have no experience with other silicone products, but would bypass it unless it was substantially cheaper than Rejuveness -- I am that happy with the product. There are also silicone gels available for the same purpose, and I've found them to be less effective and very messy and difficult to use." Recently Visited Products |
