At Home Microdermabrasion For Stretch Marks

Posted: Jan 23, 2010 |Comments: 0 |

The microdermabrasion technique is being put to use for a lot of skin treatments. Today, many women are using at home microdermabrasion for stretch mark removal also. However, if you are contemplating on using microdermabrasion for stretch mark removal too, you need to know a few things about it before you start. The first thing you need to know is that the procedure varies here in comparison with its implementation for other skin problems.

Though the principle remains the same-we are speaking about the technique of microdermabrasion here-there is a lot of difference in the way the results are brought about.

To understand that, you need to first know how stretch signs are formed. During pregnancy, there are several hormonal imbalances within the woman's body. Some of these imbalances interfere with the production of collagen, the substance that keeps the skin taut and healthy. Due to that, the new skin that the woman gets during her pregnancy is much less elastic and flexible than her usual skin. This skin tears easily. When it does, the stretch signs appear.


So, how does microdermabrasion help in removing stint sign? Like with other microdermabrasion treatments, even here the technique is used to scrape off any skin cells that are not consistent with the remaining skin surface. The procedure is done till the stint signs level with the rest of the skin surface. As a result, they become much less visible, almost to the point of not being noticed.

Now, here is where the difference lies. All the other areas where at home microdermabrasion is used-such as acne treatments, scar treatments and such-are used to remove the skin cells that are above the usual skin surface. However, with stretch mark removal, the motive is to remove a blemish that is sunken within the skin, i.e. below the usual skin surface.

Is microdermabrasion capable to remove that effectively? The answer is yes. The way it works is by removing the ridges that exist on both sides of the stretch mark. If you imagine the stretch mark as a valley, the abrasion procedure used here is to tone down the entire valley so that the whole region comes to the same level. That's what is done with the stretch mark. When the ridges come to the same level as the deepest point of the stretch mark-the fissure-the entire mark becomes unnoticeable.

You can safely use at home microdermabrasion for stretch marks and see good results too. However, make sure you learn the technique properly before using it on yourself.
