Microdermabrasion is a technique that is proven to be effective in reducing stretch marks, s well as the skin’s fine lines, or what is commonly known as the crow’s feet. It also reduces age spots and acne scars. Microdermabrasion is a skin renewal process that accelerates collagen and skin cells production.
The microdermabrasion method involves the […]
Now, don’t you hate grooming? What I mean is that we do it day after day. Sure, it can be a never-ending unnecessary routine that simply keeps us busy every single morning. What is it all about anyway? Maybe it’s all about trying to look perfect so that the world will accept us? Gosh, it […]
Stretch marks are caused by the stretching of the skin to the point where its elastic fibers begin to break. When they first appear stretch marks are red and inflamed and may even feel sore. Despite their jagged look most stretch marks do not create cause for concern. They will eventually fade […]
Stretch marks are a type of skin scar, often caused by rapid pulling of the skin, such as occurs in pregnancy, or with sudden weight gain. Stretch marks can also appear after fast weight loss.
They arise due to breakdown of the dermis, the middle layer of skin which is responsible for maintaining the skin’s structure […]
There is a lot of controversy about the efficacy of laser removal of stretch marks. The main bone of contention is that lasers are only useful in breaking down or vaporizing tissue, not in actually repairing it. In fact, even surgical intervention is apparently only useful if actual skin is excised. This goes along with […]
There are certain circumstances under which stretch marks are almost guaranteed.

Approximately 80% of all pregnant women […]
The generally held medical standpoint is that there is no clear-cut treatment for stretch marks. We are not talking of major cosmetic surgery or otherwise radical intervention here, of course - those are definitely possible approaches, but highly expensive ones that are by no means free of inherent complications. Before one considers medical or surgical […]
Stretch marks come from overstretching of the skin and are often due to pregnancy, puberty, or obesity. Stretch marks are scars usually created when pregnancy, puberty, or obesity affect the production of collagen.
Although stretch marks are softer than normal skin and first appear to be purple or red, they tend to slowly fade into […]
Stretch Marks…What Are They?
Stretch marks are thin lines on the surface of your body that may occur from tissue under your skin tearing from quick growth or over stretching the skin. Stretch marks are a weakness in the supporting composition of your skin, which may cause layers of your skin to separate leaving the […]
Stretch marks can affect all of us. Many people assume the cause of stretch marks (also known as striae) is pregnancy, and so only pregnant women and mothers are affected. Body builders often suffer from striae, and the majority of these body builders are men. People who gain a great deal of weight are also […]
