Sample:
Stretch marks have been the bane of many a pregnancy or drastic weight loss effort. There are many creams, oils, and rubs that claim to remove these unsightly lines, but do they really work? While several products can help to reduce the look of stretch marks, none can remove them completely.
Stretch marks occur when the skin is stretched quickly over a period of time, most often during pregnancy or rapid weight gain. The layers of stretched skin are torn, and replaced by scar tissue or collagen. When the weight is lost, the stretch marks remain. They generally appear as light pink or purplish threads, and normally show up on the belly, thighs, upper arms, breasts, and hips. While they aren"t a health hazard, they do pose a cosmetic problem for many people.
One option to remove or greatly lessen the appearance of stretch marks is laser surgery. While the word "surgery" sounds ominous, it"s really a very simple treatment and side effects are rare. |
