Stretch marks? Where? .. If you can't beat them, blend them!

Part 2

Normally, methods for removing stretch marks are not very effective. Complete removal of the dark, black stretch marks is "impossible" unless you opt for surgical procedures such as tummy tucks and laser cosmetic treatments. That's what they all said.

About cosmetic treatments

1. Laser treatment is a concentrated beam of light with electromagnetic radiation. They have their intensity levels modulated. High intensity lasers can drill holes inside thick steel. Lasers are typically monochromatic, with red being used for therapy. Fortunately, for laser therapy, the intensity is dialed down to provide people healing properties that lead to pain relief.

Cell Reaction

The low level laser therapy works because of how cells react to it. Lasers are fired between 5 and 500 milliwatts;most surgical applications utilize 300 milliwatts of power. When lasers are applied to cells, it is called photobiostimulation.

Photobiostimulation - The light stimulates the cells to liberate energy from chemical bonds there by accelerating the body's natural healing process.

This effect on the tissue is called " photobiostimulation" , meaning a chain of chemical reactions triggered by exposure to light.

Photobiostimulation also initiates some cell fuctions to promote healing. Collagen production,enzyme production and cell growth increase. With the collagen level increases, damaged skin cells becomes less prevalent scar tissue from forming.

About Chemical peel

A chemical peel is a body treatment technique used to improve and smooth the texture of the facial skin using a chemical solution that causes the dead skin to slough off and eventually peel off. The regenerated skin is usually smoother and less wrinkled that the old skin. Thus, the term "chemical peels" is derived.

Caution: Complications of chemical peels

The deeper the peels the more complications that can arise. Chemical peels are risky and need to be administered by certified dermatologists. The possible complications include prolong erythema, pigmentary changes, milia (white heads) skin atrophy and textual changes.

Regardless, of the wonderful results of cosmetic treatments. I personally knew I wanted to seek a more "natural" approach without the harmful complications that may occur in the future . I believe it is good to do your very own personal research before diving into something you have no idea about. For, those who are willing to try cosmetic treatments, do so at your own risk.
