Stretch Mark Removal
For the most part, the skin is extremely elastic. People can change body shape, growing and gaining or losing a
tremendous amount of weight without any problem normally. Sometimes, however, there are difficulties. If weight is
gained rapidly, if the skin is stretched beyond a certain point, or the person just has less elastic skin than
normal, stretch marks can form. Stretch mark removal is becoming a much more popular option
than ever before. Up until recently, stretch marks removal wasn't even an option. There was no really good surgical
technique for it, and there was no topical stretch mark treatment that worked. In recent years, however, things
have improved quite a bit.
Recently, I wanted to remove stretch marks. You see, over the years my body has
changed shape and size a lot. I have had serious trouble with weight control. Over the years, as a matter of fact,
my weight has fluctuated between 150 pounds and about 220 pounds. As you can imagine, all those changes have taken
a toll on the elasticity of my skin. When skin elasticity breaks down, the skin get stretch marks. Although they
are not generally painful, they can be quite unsightly. In my case, I felt downright unattractive because of them.
I sought out stretch mark removal because I couldn't feel confident in front of someone of the opposite sex. With
the ugly stretch marks on my stomach, back and sides, I felt like I was ugly and out of shape even when I was fit
as a fiddle.
I tried a lot of different stretch mark removal techniques with varying results. Removing stretch
marks is by no means a science. Some of the stretch mark removal creams work better than others, but none of them
quite did it for me. Don't get me wrong – they improved things dramatically. The smaller stretch marks – the ones
my back – cleared up with application of one of the creams in a few weeks. The ones on my stomach, however, were
persistent.
Eventually, I got sick of trying unsuccessful lotions. I had no idea how to remove stretch marks until one of my
friend suggested surgery. He had some of the worst stretch marks I had seen, and surgical stretch mark
removal had worked very well for him. They were barely visible at all after a few visits. Although
cost a good bit more than the cream, it also worked better. Stretch mark removal by laser is really a miracle, if
you ask me.
