Remove the cracks medically
Pregnancy cracks are treated medically in several ways:
- Creams: There are several types of creams that can be used, including:
- Tretinoin: Tretinoin contains retinoids used to treat wrinkles. It helps to eliminate stretch marks that occur during pregnancy, but this substance can cause skin redness, irritation or peeling.
- Collagen boosters: These collagen boosters increase in the skin, but it can not be confirmed that these ingredients can prevent the formation of pregnancy cracks.
- Centella asiatica: Centella Asiatica contains a range of natural oils that promote the construction of collagen in skin tissue, but there is no evidence of its effectiveness in getting rid of cracks.
- Plastic surgery: The tummy tuck is removed, the stretch marks are removed, but scars are left on the skin, as it is painful and expensive.
- Laser Fractional (CO2): It is one of the new methods used to treat old white stretch marks. A study showed that stretch marks fade after five sessions of treatment in this way compared to treatment with creams containing tritinoin and glycolic acid.
- Pulsed dye laser treatment: It is a painless treatment and is used to remove the red stretch marks, by dropping the laser light on them, as this light relaxes the subcutaneous blood vessels that cause the signs.
- Excimer laser treatment: This treatment stimulates the production of melanin pigment, which leads to the convergence of color cracks with the skin color, and therefore no longer visible phenomenon.
- Microdermabrasion treatment: This method removes a layer of skin using small crystal pills, which stimulates the production of a new layer of skin, thus improving the appearance of old marks.
