One such problem is the appearance of the skin of the abdomen, thighs and chest stretch marks (striae).
Stretch marks - is the result of compromising the integrity of fibrobalasta.
Moreover, the damage to the skin occurs at the level of the dermis, which is the deeper layer of the skin. Atrophy of the dermis collagen fiber elongation is accompanied by horizontal and elastin fibers. In this state, collagen and elastin can not effectively perform its functions, which is to give the skin qualities such as extensibility, contractility, elasticity. In addition, pregnancy and its accompanying hormonal changes lead to disruption of the synthesis of these substances, whereby the skin begins to thin.
In the internal strain of the skin over time, there is the connective tissue in which blood vessels are still preserved. That they give a fresh stretch marks purple and pink shades. But over time, as if zapustevayut vessels and stretch marks are white, as the connective tissue there is no pigment. Stretch marks are generally a kind of dead, lifeless area - is not present sweating, the skin does not stand out the secret, do not grow hair, and the skin remains white when tanning.
There is an opinion that acquiring such a problem as stretch marks, get rid of it is no longer possible. But stretching, especially the young, quite successfully amenable to correction. To combat this problem of aesthetic fit the following methods: mesotherapy, body wraps, masks, massages, chemical peels, mikrodermoobraziya.
Consider some of them:
Chemical peeling
Chemical peels are used to revitalize and exfoliate the surface layer of the skin. Weak solutions of acids and other chemicals - active substances provide uniform otshelushevanie unproductive several layers of cells, which promotes skin rejuvenation. Thus stimulated the synthesis of collagen and elastin, which leads to the appearance of young cells. Thus, extensions are becoming less noticeable. It should be noted that the chemical peeling - it is not only serious, but painful intervention, carried out under general anesthesia, requires not only a skilled professional skills, but also rehabilitation.
Laser resurfacing
With this method, a scanning laser beam, as if evaporates layer upon layer of skin damaged during stretching. This is controlled not only the specific areas where the procedure is performed, but also the depth of penetration of the laser. In addition, the laser removes the surface layer of the skin, he still encourages its rejuvenation. The whole procedure is performed under general or local anesthesia.
There are a number of indications for use of the procedure:
• Acute and chronic heightened, including local skin diseases.
• The exacerbation of herpes - virus infection
• Diabetes
• Chronic diseases affect the course of the recovery period after the procedure.
• Psychological illness
After this procedure may be swelling of the skin and moderate pain. The recovery period can last from seven to ten days. During this period, you should take medication to prevent infection, reduce swelling and pain. But only those who recommend a specialist, use the same medications during the rehabilitation period, without the consent of the specialist is prohibited. You can also use the protective ointments. With regard to the restoration of skin color, it comes back to normal after a few weeks, and a full cosmetic effect comes only a few months later. It is for this reason, many experts advise to carry out this procedure only in autumn and winter.
Mesotherapy
The method consists in the introduction of biologically active substances in the middle layers of the skin (to a depth of 3-4 mm) using microinjection. In the skin, it creates a kind of depot from which the drug is discharged through the surrounding small blood vessels. During the time until the drug is in custody, he can influence the body. Due to the fact that the drug is injected deep into the skin, this method is much more effective than if the drug applied to the skin applicative. Using this method, reduces body fat, increases the elasticity of the skin and smooth out the skin stretching. Course duration is usually 10-12 sessions. In addition to its direct effect, activates the immune systems of the organism.
Mikrodermoobraziya
This method is designed for the mechanical removal of the surface layers of the skin flow of microcrystals of aluminum. It crashed into the epidermis crystals are sucked together with the top layer of keratinized skin flakes vacuum apparatus. Along with balancing the skin eliminated grease tube, increase blood circulation in the capillaries, activates regeneration and collagen synthesis. This method is not suitable for pustular skin diseases.
