The formation of stretch marks is mainly due to the influence of pregnancy hormones. In addition, the swelling of the abdomen damages or breaks the elastic fibers and collagen fibers of the skin, and the abdominal skin becomes thinner and thinner, and some pink or purple wavy lines with different widths appear.

1, the definition of stretch marks

It is common for pregnant mothers to have stretch marks. The types of stretch marks are divided into pregnancy stretch marks and postpartum stretch marks. During pregnancy, pregnant mothers will have irregular patterns of red, pink or purple with different lengths and widths; After the pregnant mother gives birth to the baby, these patterns will gradually fade and the color will gradually become white or silvery white scar lines, which are stretch marks.

Stretch marks are accompanied by the continuous swelling of the pregnant mother's stomach. The swelling of the abdomen leads to the damage or fracture of collagen fibers and elastic fibers, and there will be some irregular patterns of red, pink or purple, that is, stretch marks; With the change of postpartum hormone level, the color of these patterns will gradually fade, but they will not disappear, and may always accompany us. This is a sign of a happy mother.

2. The generation of stretch marks

Stretch marks usually appear at 2 1~28 weeks (6~7 months) of pregnancy and develop through the following three stages:

Stage 1: pink stretch marks will appear in the early stage, causing itchy skin.

Stage 2: The length and width of stretch marks gradually expand, and the color becomes red or purple.

Stage 3: At this time, the stretch marks are mature and will lose their original red, pink and purple tones. Within a few months after pregnancy, they will begin to fade, become pale white or silvery white, and have irregular shapes.

Step 3 remove stretch marks

Generally speaking, once the stretch marks appear, it is very difficult to completely remove them, but they will gradually fade over time and generally turn white or silvery white, depending on the skin color of the pregnant mother. Although stretch marks are difficult to remove, postpartum can restore skin elasticity and dilute stretch marks by applying cream, using laser repair or sticking to skin care.

First, postpartum maintenance

Three months after delivery is the best time to eliminate stretch marks. It is suggested that pregnant women can do some simple exercises at home, such as lifting their legs and eliminating edema. In addition, diligent massage can effectively eliminate places that are prone to stretch marks. Pregnant women should eat more foods rich in collagen at this time, such as pig's trotters and sheep's trotters.

Eat more foods rich in vitamin C, such as oranges, strawberries and vegetables, and eat more milk and its products rich in vitamin B6. At ordinary times, we should also insist on nursing and massaging the skin to ensure adequate sleep, restore skin elasticity and relieve stretch marks.

Second, the beauty of medicine is diluted

At present, medical beauty has introduced various methods to dilute stretch marks. Such as laser, abdominal plastic surgery, etc. However, laser surgery generally says that the effect is not ideal, and it can only dilute the color and cannot smooth the stretch marks; Abdominal plastic surgery is mainly to remove excess skin and then sew abdominal muscles again. Although it will achieve a certain abdominal remodeling effect, it will not remove all stretch marks, but it can only be said that it will look much better.

But if you get pregnant again, it will destroy the effect of the operation, and the operation cost is high, which costs tens of thousands, so it is not recommended for pregnant mothers to do it. Medical beauty can only reduce the appearance or range of stretch marks, improve scar tissue and improve the color and thickness of epidermis, and also make stretch marks look inconspicuous. Don't believe the advertisements that can eliminate stretch marks on the market!

Third, the beauty salon skin care

At present, many beauty salons have also launched services to remove stretch marks. Special magnetic fields can be used to remove pigments and lines, belly lines or therapeutic products. When you go to a beauty salon for skin care, the beautician will use professional products to remove stretch marks and professional massage techniques to remove stretch marks.
