Pregnancy undoubtedly changes a woman's body. Hormonal changes and weight gain create a new silhouette and sometimes, the skin becomes marked with small streaks. These are the famous stretch marks ! Feared by many pregnant women, these unsightly little marks are known to be indelible. However, there are many treatments that can prevent their appearance and reduce their appearance once they have set in. The key lies in hydration and the application of targeted treatments such as the SOS Stretch Marks Balm from Téane laboratories. A concentrate of active ingredients specially designed to effectively reduce stretch marks and improve the elasticity of your skin.
How to recognize a stretch mark?
Stretch marks are small lines caused by a micro-tear in the dermis (the middle layer of the skin). They appear following a bodily change that causes skin tension (pregnancy, rapid growth, weight loss or gain, etc.).
Stretch marks are distinguished according to their stage of appearance:
-
Red stretch marks : pink, red or purple in color, they are typical of emerging stretch marks . The dermis subjected to strong distension ruptures and causes inflammation. Blood will then flow to try to heal, which causes this coloring. Despite this blood work and increased production of collagen fibers, the body cannot make these lesions disappear on its own. It is at this early stage that stretch marks are best treated by helping healing with anti-stretch mark repair creams .
- White stretch marks : they mark the maturation period and reveal well-established stretch marks . Concretely, the healing work is finished leading to a decrease in blood flow and collagen fibers. The skin then experiences depigmentation and the stretch marks gradually whiten . In appearance, white stretch marks are less visible to the eye, but they will be more difficult to fade. However, this does not mean that the treatments are ineffective. Anti-stretch mark treatments reduce the hollow and refine the stretch marks to make them almost invisible.
To recognize stretch marks, there are certain characteristic signs:
- Location : Stretch marks appear mainly on the stomach, breasts, buttocks, thighs and arms
- Appearance : Stretch marks form small streaks (lines) on the skin that are pink, red, purple or white in color.
- Touch : stretch marks cause a tear in the dermis which leaves small hollows that are very noticeable to the touch .
