Stretch marks: Red can still disappear
Eliminate red stretch marks, can you? Yes, although perhaps not completely! We know the red stretch marks and the creams and oils to eliminate them.
Red stretch marks affect women and men alike. They can be caused by a sudden increase in weight or by pregnancy and by the development during adolescence and by the growth of muscles for those who exercise focused. Stretch marks are red when they are young. That is, they are newly formed.
Practically the red color is given by the layer of skin immediately under the epidermis rich in capillaries.
The epidermis tears and shows this layer, which is also inflamed and is very red as a result of the rupture. Over time, red lacerations are transformed into white stretch marks, but if we act before the transformation occurs, we can eliminate the imperfection, at least relieve it.
Red stretch marks can also come because of medical problems: an increase in cortisol, for example, can reduce the production of collagen and promote the formation of stretch marks. The increase may be caused by taking medicine or a hormonal problem. They usually affect the stomach and thighs, but it is not uncommon that they also affect the breast and inner thigh.
One of the reasons that lead to the formation of stretch marks is certainly pregnancy. Pregnant red stretch marks affect the belly and are formed due to a sudden increase in weight and tension to which the abdomen is subjected. Moreover, between the 6th and 8th months of gestation, the woman produces cortisol in quantity and promotes its formation.
To prevent them, it is good to moisturize skin a lot more times a day if necessary, using a specific cream or oil. We can also use simple olive oil to keep skin soft and make sure it does not lose its natural elasticity. It is also advisable to drink plenty of water so that the whole body is well hydrated and also the skin.
Of oil and creams for red stretch marks they sell in quantity, we remember a classic almond oil, but also coconut oil, lavender oil, and creams based on snail slime help to stimulate the production of collagen and repair the scar that you are formed as a result of the laceration.
Red stretch marks: also do-it-yourself remedies
As we have just pointed out remedies for stretch marks on the market, there are many, but we can also want to devote ourselves to do it yourself and use, always with due consistency, self-produced creams that can help us to alleviate the blemish.
Among the many recipes that the web is full of, we would like to tell you this based on easy to find items: mix half a cup of olive oil (it does not matter if it is an extra virgin), a large spoon of aloe vera extract (you can take it directly from leaf simply by cutting it in two and scratching it with a small knife) and vitamin E in capsules (available in pharmacies or herbal medicine-open the capsules and pour the contents).
Once prepared, the oil should be left to rest for at least 1 hour in the fridge and then kept in place for at least 30 minutes.
Combine all these treatments with a healthy diet and exercise, and you will see that the results will come. Not always, though … sometimes, it seems impossible to eliminate the red stretch marks and then resorted to the help of a doctor.
Fillers, lasers, hyaluronic acid treatments are just some of the remedies that surgery provides to get rid of ugly red lacerations.
The chemical peel that can be done directly in the clinic (always by a competent doctor, I recommend) is very popular in recent years. The peeling eliminates through dermabrasion, the superficial part of the skin that will rebuild itself by eliminating the red stretch marks.
