			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Though various kinds of treatment are popular for stretch marks removal, the effect and affordability of laser treatment for stretch marks is unquestionable.  Light amplification by stimulated emission of Radiation is known as laser in short form. This technique is used to cure many skin related disorders like acne, acne scars, and tattoos and of course stretch marks.</p>
<p>In some cases anesthesia is required while in a majority of cases pain is not very severe therefore quite bearable even without anesthesia. However immediately after the therapy some redness or bruising is felt on the skin which subsides gradually. Laser treatment despite being the most popular treatment for stretch marks does not guarantee the desired effect.  It depends a lot on the type of stretch marks you have. This is best advised by your dermatologist.  Make sure you consult an experienced dermatologist who can ascertain if laser technique is what you should go for.</p>
<p><strong>Costs</strong>:</p>
<p>Laser treatment may cost you anywhere from $200 -500 per session. How many sessions you require depend upon your stretch marks and how responsive you are to the treatment? Usually 5-8 sessions are enough to get the desired results. I must say that there is no guarantee if you will get your stretch marks removed or get new scars resulting from laser therapy. This is the only downside of this otherwise safe method.</p>
<p><strong>What you should take care of</strong>:</p>
<p>As mentioned above, experience and expertise is required for successful effects, you should make it a point not to go for cheap options. Just make sure that the expert you are going to be treated by has handled a few successful stretch marks removal cases.  Moreover check if the equipments to be used are latest ones.</p>
<p>Finally I must say that you should ascertain if you really need laser therapy. Have you already tried natural stretch marks removal creams that are quite effective? If you have already tried these cheaper methods laser therapy is what you should go for.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Depending upon the type and severity of case, stretch marks removal costs may be different for different people. Every patient does not respond in a similar way to one kind of treatment therefore it is quite normal that the procedure will have to be repeated hence the cost will go up. Moreover it also depends a lot on the location of treatment and of course on surgeon’s fees.</p>
<p>Here is an approximate calculation of some of the major stretch marks removal techniques.</p>
<p><strong>Surgery</strong>: This is perhaps the costliest method for stretch marks removal. It is also the most effective technique to go for. Though recovery period is much longer after the surgery, it is definitely justified taking into consideration the permanent affect of this procedure. Cost of surgery for stretch marks removal is somewhere from $3000 to $9000.</p>
<p>The only drawback or the negative point of this procedure is that it cannot be performed on teenagers who have not gained their maximum growth.</p>
<p><strong>Laser Technique</strong>:  This is also very popular stretch marks removal method. Its cost usually depends upon how many sessions you require. You need to pay on per session basis. Usually one session’s costs is anywhere from $200-300. Some people might be satisfied with just one session while for others even 5-10 sessions may not be sufficient.</p>
<p><strong>Chemical peeling procedure</strong>: As the name suggests it peels off the upper surface of skin and lets the skin grow naturally, it is a comparatively cheaper option and quite affordable. It also requires multiple sessions and you need to pay on per session basis. One session of chemical peeling costs $100 to $600.</p>
<p><strong>Microdermabrasion</strong>: it costs $100 to $150 per session. Moreover you may require some other creams and lotions for complete effect.</p>
<p>It is always best to look for complete package rather than going for per session payment.  Just confirm form your dermatologist if complete package that includes the entire skin care product is available.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Stretch marks are the after effects of physical changes like weight or muscle gain, pregnancy, obesity etc. During any of these changes as the additional weight or muscles need to be accommodated, skin starts stretching putting a lot of pressure on the connective tissues. When skin’s elasticity level reaches it limits or crosses it, small tears appear on the outer side of skin which is known as stretch marks. Can we eliminate or reduce stretch marks?</p>
<p>Yes we can definitely get rid of stretch marks by different methods. The most popular and quick method is laser therapy. This procedure is highly effective especially on new stretch marks which are still red in color. With the help of laser outer layer of skin is removed and then some time is allowed for the new skin to grow. It is a bit costly procedure but eliminates the stretch marks completely.</p>
<p>If laser therapy is not possible here are the ways to reduce stretch marks.</p>
<ul>
<li>Eat foods that are rich in essential fatty acids like fish, fish oil, almond and nuts. Eating fresh fruits are also very helpful in reducing stretch marks.</li>
<li>Massage with Vitamin E creams are recommended for healthy and stretch marks free skin. Make sure that you massage your skin daily until the stretch marks fade away.</li>
<li>Vitamin A and C are also recommended for the health of skin. You will find a lot of vitamin c in citrus fruits like lemon and oranges. One orange a day works best from inside and keeps your skin flawless and shining. During pregnancy intake of Vitamin A should be limited therefore take expert guidance.</li>
<li>Food rich in zinc is very effective in maintaining the elasticity of skin therefore works well to reduce stretch marks.</li>
</ul>
<p>These are some of the home remedies that work wonders and help you reduce stretch marks without consulting your physician. Natural over the counter creams can also be tried.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Stretch marks appear on the outer layer of skin in the form of small tears. It is caused when the elastic fibers which bind together the elastin and collagen of the skin. While collagen being the connective tissue keeps the basic structure of skin together, elastin provides the elasticity. When both the proteins are present in perfect harmony we have a perfect skin. However the moment elastin is stretched beyond its limits it leaves its scars on the outer surface of skin that we call stretch marks.</p>
<p>If makes sense to say that if we somehow manage to keep the elasticity of skin from going beyond its limits, stretch marks will not appear. This is exactly what we do to for preventing stretch marks. It is possible through dietary supplements or massaging with some oils.</p>
<p>Keeping your body well hydrated goes a long way in preventing stretch marks to a great extent. One should make sure that body is not deprived of essential fluid it requires. Eating fibrous food and drinking plenty of water is highly recommended if you are undergoing any physical changes like pregnancy during which formation of stretch marks is almost unavoidable.</p>
<p>Apart from pregnancy stretch marks are also formed during puberty especially among obese teenagers. As soon as weight is lost after hormonal secretion returns to normal level, stretch marks start appearing. Similarly muscle builders undergo various chemical changes in their body and gain weight rather quickly putting extra strain on the connective tissues.</p>
<p>No matter what physical changes you are going through preventing stretch marks is just a matter proper care of your body’s fluid requirement. External care requires regular massaging with oils like lavender oil, olive oil etc. You will also find various natural creams which have all the herbs required for maintaining and curing stretch marks are very effective. Some of them also come with attractive offer if you order online.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Stretch Marks are the ugliest sign of pregnancy or sudden weight loss. Despite pregnancy and childbirth being one of the most joyous moments in almost every woman’s life, the scars that are left behind are something difficult to live with. These stretch marks are nothing but marks of stretching skin beyond its ability capacity. Your body undergoes weight gain and your skin needs to accommodate the extra weight .In this process the elasticity of skin is lost therefore stretch mark remain long after losing weight.</p>
<p>It is not that only women can have stretch marks. Even men or obese teenagers who lose weight suddenly get stretch marks. Treating these stretch marks is relatively easier than those formed by pregnancy. It is also not certain that every woman will have stretch marks. It depends a lot on your genes. Some women do not have even a single stretch mark despite going through risky pregnancy.</p>
<p>Following are a few stretch marks removal techniques.</p>
<ul>
<li>Endermologie: This is technique for removing stretch      marks which involves the use of a special machine. This technique massages      the affected area and improves blood circulation. After a few sessions of      this method stretch marks are completely gone. Though costly but worth its      price.</li>
<li>Laser technology: this works well to fade the      stretch marks and is most effective during the early days of stretch marks      development.</li>
<li>Alpha Hydroxy acids:  this compound is also      known as fruit acid. It helps remove the upper layer of skin and      regenerate new skin cells. This is a component of almost all the anti      stretch marks cream.  Works very well and is affordable too.</li>
</ul>
<p>It is well known that in order for the skin to appear stretch marks free, it has to be supple and well hydrated. This is the reason fibrous diet and good intake of fluid is also helpful in removing stretch marks.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fading stretch marks is a lot easier and effective than trying to get rid of it completely. In fact laser treatment also relies on fading stretch marks to a level that it is camouflaged by the surrounding skin and gives the impression of no marks at all. It is often an effective way to make stretch marks less visible.</p>
<p>Laser technique is used to remove the skin surrounding the affected area so that new skin may grow.  New skin is of natural color therefore does not appear to be any different. This is an invasive treatment therefore apart from being costly, also takes some time to heal.</p>
<p>A few other methods of fading stretch marks are also very popular with varied degree of results. Some of them are as follows.</p>
<p>Chemical Peels:  The basic idea behind this technique is to cover the affected area with some sticky substance which can peel off the layer of dead skin so that new skin can develop. The new skin that that grows later is of your natural skin color.</p>
<p>Microdermabrasion:  This technique also works on the same idea as that of chemical peels but the method of taking the outer layer of skin off the surface is somewhat different. A fine crystal spray is used to remove the outermost layer.</p>
<p>Light therapy: This technique is often used in acne treatment but can be very effective fading stretch marks as well. It is entirely dependent on the type and severity of stretch marks that can be removed with light therapy. A bit costly but definitely it is worth its price.</p>
<p>Apart from these methods some natural over the counter creams and lotions are also as effective therefore must be tried before going for costlier and lengthy procedures. As these creams can be used externally without prescription you can be rest assured that there will be no side effect. In case of no positive results you can discontinue it without any side effect or too much monetary loss.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If pregnancy or weight loss programs are successfully over, getting rid of stretch marks is one of the most important tasks ahead. In fact this is the time you should be proactive enough to stop darkening of stretch marks. If taken care of within 6 months, stretch marks can be diminished almost completely. Most of us are aware these marks are caused by stretching of skin beyond its elasticity level. These can be permanent if ignored in the beginning.</p>
<p>What to do about stretch marks; there are various methods, surgical as well as non surgical, which are effective in removing stretch marks to a great extent. Diet and exercise also go a long way in ensuring stretch marks do not become permanent very quickly. Here are a few tips that are very helpful in getting rid of stretch marks. In case of pregnancy care should be taken and medical advice sought before trying any of these methods.</p>
<ul>
<li>Massaging with olive oil is known to reduce stretch marks very effectively. It improves blood circulation and exfoliates the affected skin to a great extent. Just message gently twice a day for a week or so and see the difference.</li>
<li>A solution of calendula oil and wheat germ oil in equal proportions works wonders in getting rid of stretch marks. You can massage with this solution. Results are usually seen within a month or so.</li>
<li>A mixture of Almond oil, chamomile oil and lavender oil works fine on a majority of skin types but may not be suitable for everyone. It can be tried but discontinue the use if you feel mild burning sensation on skin for long.</li>
</ul>
<p>Moreover taking special care of your diet and hydration is very important in getting rid of stretch marks. The more fluid or water you take the more flexible your skin becomes. As the skin become more elastic its ability to take sudden weight also increases therefore stretch marks do not form in the first place.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="result_box" dir="ltr">More than half of all pregnant women will develop stretch marks during pregnancy. Gravidarum Otherwise known as striae, stretch marks look like streaks on the surface of the skin, and may be varied in color depending on your natural skin color. Most women with lighter skin develop pinkish stretch marks, while women with darker skin tend to have stretch marks that are lighter than the surrounding skin.</p>
<p>Most women develop stretch marks on their abdomen during pregnancy, but it is also common to get stretch marks on buttocks, hips, breasts and thighs. In some cases up to 90 percent of women have stretch marks on some of their body as a result of pregnancy.<br />
<strong><br />
What Causes Stretch Marks? </strong></p>
<p>Stretch marks form when the skin is stretched as it happens quickly during pregnancy. Most women develop stretch marks during the trimesters of pregnancy though some women are beginning to develop as soon as their bellies start growing.</p>
<p>Stretch marks are actually small tears that form in the tissue that supports the skin and helps stretch. Stretch marks represent the tearing or separation of collagen from the skin when tearing occurs. Stretch marks are not dangerous or painful and usually fade with time.</p>
<p><strong>Who Gets Stretch Marks? </strong></p>
<p>Many women believe that using lotions and creams help prevent stretch marks. Realistically however, the number of stretch marks you get depends on how your skin is elastic. The elasticity of your skin usually relates to your genetic makeup. The best thing you can do is know if your mother got bad stretch marks during pregnancy. If it did, you&#8217;re probably more prone to stretch marks than other women.</p>
<p>Keep in mind the weight, the more you earn during pregnancy more likely you are to have stretch marks. Normally, the skin is elastic and able to stretch a little, however, for some women the changes that occur during pregnancy are very drastic. These fluctuations rapid weight and skin stretching can cause stretch marks.</p>
<p>Women with multiples are more likely to have stretch marks because their bellies usually grow much larger than in women with a singleton pregnancy. Other women may develop stretch marks are women who earn a lot of weight quickly during their pregnancy and women who wear big children.<br />
<strong><br />
Here are some other factors that may contribute to your susceptibility to stretch marks: </strong></p>
<p>* If you developed stretch marks before (like on your breasts during puberty) you are more likely to have stretch marks during pregnancy.</p>
<p>* If you had stretch marks during another pregnancy you will usually get them again.</p>
<p>* If you are overweight or gain more weight than recommended you are more likely to get stretch marks.</p>
<p>* The better hydrated and well fed, you are the less likely you are to develop serious stretch marks.</p>
<p><strong>Stretch Mark Prevention </strong></p>
<p>Most women believe they can avoid stretch marks by using creams and lotions. There are many formulations on the market today that claim to help prevent stretch marks. Some of these may help moisturize your skin and reduce itching. They may help reduce some stretch marks but there are no scientific studies that support this.</p>
<p>You probably know at least one parent however that swears by cocoa butter or other formulation to prevent stretch marks. If nothing else rubbing these creams into your belly provides your unborn baby with a light massage and comforting. They may also give you peace of mind knowing you have done everything possible to prevent stretch marks.</p>
<p>The best thing you can do to reduce stretch marks addition to using a cream or moisturizer you select is gaining the recommended amount of weight during pregnancy. Doctors recommend most women gain between 25 and 34 pounds. Earn much more than that can lead you to further develop stretch marks.<br />
<strong><br />
Remove Stretch Marks </strong></p>
<p>Most women worry about stretch marks after they have their baby. Fortunately most stretch marks do fade with time. Usually, most after 12 moths postpartum stretch marks are lighter and less visible. May texture are different from the surrounding skin however. Many women find that their stretch marks fading into whitish lines that are barely visible.</p>
<p>Some women have very severe stretch marks that impact their self esteem after pregnancy. There are many treatments for women who want to improve the appearance of their stretch marks.</p>
<p>If your stretch marks are particularly bad, you may consult your doctor or dermatologist. Some topical treatments such as tretinoin cream may help reduce stretch marks. These creams must be used after pregnancy however, because they can cause birth defects in your unborn baby.</p>
<p>Most topical treatments available should be used shortly after delivery, before they begin to fade. The more time that elapses between the delivery and use of cream, they are less likely to be effective.</p>
<p>If breastfeeding is important to consult your doctor before using treatment stretch marks. Some treatments may impact your milk supply or pass through breast milk to baby.</p>
<p>Most creams available to reduce stretch marks do not help alleviate the sagging skin that also accompanies childbirth. There are some newer treatments including laser treatments however that may improve the skins elasticity and help reduce stretch marks. Some women also consider plastic surgery after they are done having children. A tummy tuck can help hide some stretch marks and reduce sagging skin.</p>
<p>Most women are able to forget joyfully stretch marks when they consider the miracle of life they bring into the world. For most the small annoyance even the worst stretch marks bring are well worth the joy of bringing a newborn into the world.
