Pregnancy stretchmarks (stra gravidarum) are common. Great genetics, optimal weight gain, and less abdominal skin sun damage help you minimize your chances of getting them. Once acquired they can be minimized, it’s unlikely they will ever be completely resolved. Rocking your stretchmarks is completely A-ok,! But you can un-stretch your stretch marks and treat scars with many new technologies available.
Early Treatment the Best
These can be relatively older or new scars. But beginning no later than 6 weeks after an injury or after acquisition like in pregnancy is best.
Reds easier to Fix than White
Some scars have color, and using the right wavelength of light can help minimize that coloration. Stria rubrae that are red or purple are easiest to improve. We have excellent results with BBL for those with skin types I-III.
Home therapy Works But Over Time
Tretinoin 0.05 or 0.1% will work over 3-6 months to build collagen and improve the looks. Do not use if breastfeeding, can also make your skin more sensitive to sun burns.
Lather Up!
Scaring is minimized if the tissue is elastic. So begin massaging the area in question right away after the scar was created. Moisturizing with shea, ceramides, hyaluronic acid all help. None of these will help with structural damage.
Turn Thick to Thin
Once scars are thick they still can be thinned, but some may need some steroid injection to thin. Silicone sheets have to be used reliably, daily, for months. It would be rare to need to fully excise a scar away, but sometimes that is the best solution for improving blood flow, overall skin health, and helps build muscle below lose skin.
