If you have had a baby, or have had ups and downs in your weight, then you know what I am talking about--stretch marks. It seems like there is nothing that will help but there is. First of all – hydration –good old water and lots of it. Most of this happens from the inside out so the more you drink the easier it is for your body to expand (and yes contract). We are certainly not going to depend on water alone so read on…...

The degree of success may vary from individuals to individuals. This is where genetics take over sister but read on to see what you can do to intervene.

Keep Yourself Hydrated
Lack of moisture levels often results in repercussions on the skin. Stretch marks can be a natural cause of nutritional deficiencies. Skin that lacks moisture tends to shrink thus causing ugly marks in the process. Though, stretch marks cannot be completely eliminated, you can surely take appropriate care to avoid their appearances. So, drink lots of water and by this I mean more than you ever thought…..urinate at leaste every 30 minutes. include lots of fresh fruits and green vegetables in your daily diet. Hydrated skin shows as a natural glow!

Take Skin Supportive Supplements
A comprehensive dietary supplement program is essential. Make sure that you are taking supplements that are rapidly absorbed into your system for maximum benefit. I highly recommend Isotonix vitamins (email us for more info) for the most compatable internal supplement to your external care.. .

Stretch Mark Removal Creams
There are a variety of skin lightening and stretch marks removal creams and lotions available in the market. Though many of them may claim to completely eliminate stretch marks, hardly anyone does. In fact complete removal of stretch marks is not possible. Creams and lightening products only help in fading away their appearance so that it blends with the skin color. There are various laser procedures that canreduce the appearance of stretch marks and we recommend a consultation with your physician to find out which wouldbest suit your needs. However, there are several noninvasive options to try first if you choose.

iS Clinical Super Serum Advance is a unique skin lightening solution that contains powerful anti-oxidants that improves the skin tone and reduces stretch marks and other scars left behind by acne and blemishes. Since it is anti-acneic, it has no side effects whatsoever and can be used by people of all skin types.

Stretch mark removal creams are best used at night so that they get absorbed well and provide the skin long lasting moisture.

Neocutis Bio-restorative cream has had very poitive feedback in terms of educing the appearance of recent stretch marks. Although these observances need to be substanciated they are promising.

Laser Treatments
In addition to these topical treatments, depending on skin type, ther are laser procedures that can address these issues as well. This process stimulates collagen production within the skin surface that absorbs the laser light and fills the skin and makes pigment return to the scarred area. Basically laser is sued to remove akin that has stretch marks. once, this is removed new skin grows from underneath to replace it. laser treatments involve a number of sessions to completely eliminate the marks. by far, this method is the most effective removal method. And because it is very safe, there are extremely low incidents of side effects.

Of all the stretch marks removal methodologies listed above, the one that best suits you can be decided in consideration to your skin type and requirements. We highly recommend a consultation with your skin care provider.
