Breast Stretch Marks
How to prevent breast stretch marks occurring
Stretch marks are those unsightly scars that occur when the skin is stretched rapidly over a short period of time, such as happens during pregnancy. Breast stretch marks can also occur when women gain or loose weight too quickly.
Studies suggest that between 75 and 90% of women develop stretch marks during pregnancy, usually on the abdomen, thighs, hips and breast area. Breast stretch marks occurring in teenage girls are associated with rapid growth spurts and increased activity in the production of hormones during puberty.
Stretch marks occur in the dermis (the middle layer of the skin) The dermis is mostly composed of collagen. It is collagen, together with elastin, that provides the skin with strength and elasticity. Stretching the skin, over a short period, can cause damage to the collagen and elastin levels and thus compromise the supportive material of the dermis. When this occurs and the stretchy fibres in the dermis tear, stretch marks appear.
There are many over the counter anti-stretch marks creams and lotions formulated to nourish the skin and help prevent breast stretch marks occurring. And whilst many argue that nothing can prevent stretch marks completely, several products come highly recommended by both user and practitioner.
Revitol Stretch Mark Prevention Cream is a preventative treatment for breast stretch marks. This natural cream does not contain harmful substances and can be used before, during and after pregnancy to help prevent stretch marks occurring on the breast area. The cream has been thoroughly tested and is completely safe. Revitol Stretch Mark Prevention Cream will also help to reduce the appearance of existing stretch marks!
TriLASTIN System 2 comes with a 60-day guarantee and uses a custom blend of active ingredients to re-build collagen and elastin.
Several months ago TriLASTIN was featured on the Tyra Banks show and since has become a very popular product for the treatment of stretch marks.
