Pregnancy Myth: Stretchmarks are Caused by Scratching

I have previously written several articles on pregnancy myths, these are beliefs that other people usually follow as part of their culture like eating twin bananas will give rise to twin pregnancies, eating eggplants will make your baby's skin darker.

I have heard one of my patients say this " Dra, iniwasan ko naman magkamot kahit ang kati-kati pero bakit nagka stretchmark pa din ako (Dr. I have tried my best not to scratch even if the skin is very itchy but why did I still have stretchmarks)?" I explained to her that scratching has no role in the appearance of stretchmarks and even though how much scratching is done its has no effect on the severity of stretchmarks but scratching definitely has an effect on the appearance of secondary skin infection.

FACT: Scratching Does Not Cause Stretchmarks!!

Another MYTH: Lotions, Aloe Vera, Cocoa Butter can prevent stretchmarks.

FACT: No creams can prevent stretchmarks. Creams only moisturizes your skin but doesn't prevent it from being stretched.

MYTH: Stretchmark stays forever

FACT: Stretchmark can now be cured. Laser Treatment specially Fractional C02 showed promising results on the removal of stretchmarks.

There is one product that helps reduce the hyperpigmentation caused by laser treatment, helps generate collagen and helps tighten and whiten the skin and even safe on pregnant moms - The Celesty Flora Stretchmark Erase

I am an OB-GYN in practice for 9 years and never did I encounter a treatment as effective as the combination of Fractional C02 and Celesty Flora Stretchmark Eraser in the removal of stretchmark. I have personally made a research on this to prove its efficacy and the study can be read at this link

I believe that I cannot be talking about its efficacy if I haven't proven it myself.

As for the machine that removes stretchmarks, I personally went to Italy to train in using this particular machine. I was invited to present the research paper I made on stretchmarks so I took the chance to train with Italy's best doctors who have used the machines for so long. I'm sure everybody wouldn't want to be treated by just anyone with inadequate knowledge, besides Fractional C02 treatment is pretty expensive and each patient should be handled by the best available physician there is. Anybody can learn how to use laser in just one day but it's the principle behind the treatment, the careful selection of parameters and the hand-me-down knowledge, tips and lots of personal experiences shared by well known surgeons that made me different from the rest. I am not underestimating the capacity of other doctors nor am I bragging about myself but it's good for my patients and readers to know that I have devoted a year of research exclusively on stretchmarks and the paper gained international recognition. I have been invited to speak twice internationally on well known congresses like Aesthetic Asia 2012 and Laser Florence 2012. Just an additional information and enough evidence to make you feel comfortable knowing you are in good hands should you choose to avail of my services.

SO, Scratching does not cause stretchmarks and stretchmarks does not stay forever.
