Which stretch marks treatment works?

The issue of stretch marks treatment is purely cosmetic rather than medical. This perhaps explains the reason why some people have the patience to wait for them to heal as opposed to seeking treatment. There is however some available stretch marks treatment for those who cannot wait for the stretch marks to disappear on their own. But the question remains on the choice of treatment for stretch marks.

In this article, we are going to look at the various options available.

Tretinoin cream

The first of such stretch marks treatment is the use of Tretinoin cream. This is otherwise known as Retin-A, Avita or Avita in terms of brands available. This treatment is particularly effective in cases where the stretch mark is still young. Tretinoin works by causing rebuilding of the collagen such that the stretch marks are camouflaged to look like the normal skin. The downside of using this cream is that it is not recommended for use by pregnant women. It is also not the best choice for those who have old stretch marks.

Laser therapy

This is a type of stretch marks treatment which utilizes the light wavelength to stimulate the production of collagen, melanin as well as elastin.

Microdermabrasion

Another effective treatment for stretch marks is the use of this technology whereby crystals are used to polish the skin when blown on it using a special device. These crystals are later removed using a vacuum. This method is effective for removing old stretch marks.

Factors affecting the choice of stretch marks treatment

There are number of factors which influence the choice of treatment of stretch marks and include:

the age of the stretch marks,i,e whether young or new
how convenient the option is
cost involved
the patient’s expectations
