If you interview pregnant women or young mothers, it turns out that not all of them have the hated stretch marks on their skin. Let's try to figure out what really can prevent their appearance.

The fact is that the leading role in the formation of stretch marks (striae) is played by a genetic factor. Pregnancy is only a starting point for its manifestation. A growing tummy is a mechanical factor of skin stretching. If your mother developed stretch marks after you were born, unfortunately, you are likely to have them too.

Stretch marks undergo various stages of development. At first they are pink, pinkish-brown, brown or dark brown, over time they become more gray, whitish and sometimes disappear altogether.

If striae appear, urgent measures must be taken. The early stages are characterized by a red or purple color and the ease of reverse development. In the later stages, stretch marks turn white, deepen and are more difficult to treat. To prevent the appearance of striae, experts recommend actively applying creams containing Shea butter or cocoa butter as the main ingredients, up to three to four times a day. They must be rubbed deeply into the skin of the abdomen, chest, thighs and buttocks.

It is also recommended to wear a bandage for pregnant women at the first appearance of a growing tummy. You can purchase a universal prenatal bandage in an orthopedic online store.

There are various remedies for stretch marks:
[list]
Wheat germ oil - there is no scientific data on the effectiveness of these products, except for one recent study, which gave a positive characteristic of wheat germ in the early stages of stretch marks.
Glycolic acid or alpha-hydroxyacid is the most popular working remedy. It promotes the production of its own collagen. It is usually administered by cosmetologists in large doses, requires three to four visits to the beauty salon before the first results appear.

Vitamin C also promotes collagen production and is effective in the early stages of treatment. For maximum effect, it is prescribed with glycolic acid. Vitamin C supplements are also effective when taken in doses of 500 mg three times a day. To avoid overdose and in the case of taking vitamin complexes, before taking the drug, be sure to consult with your doctor.
Peptide-containing products are widely advertised as restorative creams and can be a waste of time and money, since they do not have convincing data on effective work, except for commercial claims.
Retinoids have shown quite convincing data on the increase of collagen and elastane in the early stages. But taking these drugs should be avoided during pregnancy and lactation.
Glycolic acid and retinoids are often used together to get the best result.

The use of a laser is often used by dermatologists, since it gives a positive result at various stages of the manifestation of stretch marks.
Sometimes dermatologists use vascular laser therapy, the purpose of which is to affect the inflamed vascular wall and increase the production of skin cells and collagen. It takes from three to six sessions. This treatment requires financial expenses.
Old stretch marks are treated with a fractional laser, which helps to "lubricate" the striae pattern. The most expensive treatment and, as a rule, requires at least three procedures.

Unfortunately, treatment is not always effective enough, especially in the later stages of development. Stretch marks are easier to prevent than to treat. Therefore, as soon as you find out that you are pregnant, start using cosmetics and wear an antenatal bandage.
In any case, if stretch marks appeared on your body, you took measures, but they turned out to be ineffective, this is not a reason for frustration. You are the owner of a miracle that was given to you by nature itself. Enjoy him and yourself.
