Fade Stretch Marks
Stretch marks are one of the most common skin conditions. Most
treatment methods for stretch marks attempt to eliminate the
condition altogether. In most cases, these products only fade
stretch marks. This means that it will undoubtedly take some
time for you to experience results. The good news is that some
products are able to fade stretch marks that are old and more
set into the skin. Instead of actually treating the skin, these
products typically work to change the consistency of the stretch
marks. To fade stretch marks, you may want to try one of the two
products that claim to fade stretch marks that are both new and
old.
Scarguard ScarCare works by providing a protective covering for
the stretch marks so that they can heal on their own. The
product does, however, contain ingredients that are beneficial
for diminishing stretch marks. Vitamin E and silicone are two
ingredients in ScarCare that will help fade stretch marks. You
apply the product directly to your stretch marks twice each day.
You should start to notice an improvement in your stretch marks
in less than six months. If you are pregnant, you need to obtain
approval from your doctor before using the product.
Scarguard Lightener is another stretch mark treatment product
manufactured by Scarguard. This product fades stretch marks by
lightening the skin. The product contains 2% hydroquinone, a
skin-lightening chemical. If you choose to go with this product
you need to also wear a sunscreen. You may experience a
darkening of your skin if you apply the product to your skin and
spend time in the sun without any sun protection. This product,
like ScarCare costs $64.99. The cost is more than the average
stretch mark treatment, but then doctors do not endorse the
average product for stretch marks. Plastic surgeons use
Scarguard products in their practice, so there is a good chance
that you will experience success with Scarguard products.
