How to Fade Stretch Marks - Without Surgery

Many people during these hot summer months want to show off their new sexy bodies that they have been working on all year.
Unfortunately for many people they suffer from annoying stretch marks.
These stretch marks also know as striae in the dermatology world, are caused when the dermis which is the middle layer of the skin that controls the shape of the skin is stretched to far to fast.
This causes the dermis to lose support therefore the skin doesn't have enough time to build new skin cells,this causes a lighter toned scar.
At first they start off as little Blueish purple discoloration, then over time they appear as a white glossy scar.
These white glossy scars are almost completely permanent, but they do fade over longer periods of time.
So the best way to avoid them is to prevent them from happening in the first place.
The most effective way to fade these white scars is cosmetic surgery.
Cosmetic surgery ranges from tummy tucks to acid peals.
Surgery is usually a last resort and used only after creams and home rem-ides have failed to fade most of the noticeable scars.
This is because while being the most effective option for treating stretch marks, It is also the option that is the most expansive.
Unfortunately for most people health insurance doesn't cover the costs of surgery.
So for those of you trying to fade these pesky scars without breaking the bank, I would recommend an over the counter stretch mark cream first before considering surgery.
Along with some cover-up makeup that matches your skin tone.
Use the cream each day on the scars and after the cream dries, use the cover-up makeup that matches your skin tone.
There are also things that you can change in your current diet that will help in the fading process.
If you haven't started yet I would recommend you start taking a Zinc supplement, since Zinc helps with preventing scar tissue.
Also make sure that you are drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day since being well hydrated helps keep the skins elasticity.
The more elasticity your skin has decreases your chances of developing wrinkles or scars.
Hopefully that was able to answer some questions on fading stretch marks.
