One of the newest treatments to help reduce stretch marks is the use of carbon dioxide in carboxy therapy. That’s right, this odorless gas is injected below the surface of the skin at the site of the stretch mark to not only fade stretch marks but also reduce cellulite, tighten skin and decrease the appearance of scars and wrinkles. Once the gas is injected, the blood vessels in the surrounding tissue dilates, increasing the flow of oxygen and other healing nutrients to treat the area. After it does its job, the gas is expelled by the body through the lungs and kidneys.

Even though this stretch mark treatment is approved by the FDA, it’s a relatively new treatment and the long term effects are not known. Currently, there are no side effects reported and a dramatic difference has been seen after just one treatment even though up 6 treatments are recommended. The cost of the treatments are very reasonable for the type of results (around $100- $200 per session), but remember that this treatment doesn’t have years of data to show that it won’t cause harm in the long run.

If you’ve been a regular reader of this blog, you’ll know that we strive to inform and relay the most current and accurate skin care treatments and procedures to our readers. Well, we’ve been doing our part and came across an article that presented some very interesting points about stretch mark removal and we wanted to pass it along to you. It’s not another product that makes promises it will eliminate those ugly marks and then do nothing but take your time and money. It’s been proven effective in both stretch mark prevention and removal – now that’s a powerful stretch mark cream!

Stretch marks don’t only affect pregnant women but can curse anyone with rapid weight gain, for example when the kids are growing faster than weeds and their skin fibers just can’t hold it together. The main reason for stretch marks is that the skin, which is weak to begin with, is actually stretched beyond its limit and tears, which leads to an immune system reaction to close the wound fast. Unfortunately, many times the body tends to over react with its methods and creates inflammation with corrosive chemicals and then follows with scar tissue, which appear as stretch marks from the surface of the skin.

Because stretch marks are located deeper within the dermis, not any ol’ cream can penetrate or reach the affected area. An effective removal or preventative stretch mark cream will include ingredients that address inflammation, breaking down scar tissue and strengthening the skin’s structure. Of course, if you want to prevent pregnancy stretch marks, you’ll need to find a product that can be used during both pregnancy and breast feeding and won’t cause harm or stunt the development of your baby.

In this article, they’ve introduced an all-natural product that does it all with a surprising liquid only found in nature. Its natural enzymes consume, digest and breakdown the damaged skin proteins as they bring oxygen to the cells. The serum also triggers and speeds up the proliferation of fibroblasts,  the cells responsible for the production of all the elements of the skin matrix, repair of wounded tissues and regeneration of healthy skin. Depending on the depth of the scarring and how early they are treated, will determine the amount of time needed for the this stretch mark treatment to work its miracle.
