Stretch marks are a type of scar that forms due to the breaking of the skin fibers. Unevenly colored pink or purple streaks appear on the abdomen. After giving birth, although the elastic fibers gradually recover from the breakage, it is difficult to return to their previous state.
Postpartum stretch mark care
– Nutritional balance:
Eat foods rich in vitamin C and collagen. Supplement your diet with fruits rich in vitamin C such as oranges, strawberries, vegetables, kiwi, tomatoes… In addition, milk and dairy products are rich in vitamin B6, which improves symptoms and increases skin elasticity. Also, avoid eating too many carbohydrates and excess calories, which can lead to excessive weight gain.
Postpartum stretch marks make women lose confidence.
– Moisturizing is important:
After giving birth, the itching of stretch marks is particularly severe. Studies have shown that the main cause of itchy stretch marks is dry skin. If your skin can be moisturized, itching will not occur. Itchiness can occur when the skin lacks nutrients, so postpartum women need to pay special attention to their diet.
– Massage to promote blood circulation:
Massage helps to promote blood circulation and can use skincare products such as olive oil, vitamin E… To eliminate stretch marks, alternate bathing the stretch marks with hot and cold water to ensure the blood circulation process in the corresponding parts, accelerate the degradation of melanin pigments, and regenerate skin.
Treating stretch marks
– Chemical peel method:
Using chemical exfoliating agents, usually acids or corrosive substances. However, the thickness of the skin and individual reactions vary, so you need to pay attention.
Take care of stretch marks
– Photon therapy:
Photon therapy can only treat spots, large areas need to be treated in stages and it is difficult to control the depth.
– Laser treatment:
Erase stretch marks using the thermal principle of laser beams penetrating the skin surface into the underlying tissue to repair damaged cells and stimulate collagen regeneration.
There are many ways to remove stretch marks, but not every method is suitable for everyone. Therefore, the best way is to be proactive in prevention and always remember that although beauty is important, health is still more important. When applying measures, always rely on your own body conditions.
