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. 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.
