STRETCHMARKS or STRIAE are caused when the dermis is stretched to more than its limit. 90% of women get stretchmarks after pregnancy, other people who get stretchmarks are people who gained weight and body builders. The marks are a result of destruction of collagen and elastin, supporting structures that suppose to repair damage tissues.
Stretchmarks can never be prevented. The old school that says aloe vera extracts and cocoa butter helps prevent stretchmarks needs to be proven. It does make your skin supple but preventing stretchmarks, it has to be proven by clinical trials.
Have you found the right solution to remove your stretchmarks? In my almost a decade of practice I have not encountered a single solution that actually removes or reduce stretchmarks. There are lots of creams in the market that promises a lot but never delivers actual result and are hard on the budget. I get depressed when patients ask for advise on how to get rid of the unsightly marks. I cannot give any advise since I too have a lot of marks on my abdomen and thighs. I searched the net on the latest and innovative product that actually reduces stretchmarks. I looked for something that is safe and effective and of course backed by clinical trials.
