Xeragel® (XSO-797) - $16.30A new treatment for stretch marks cuts down on recovery time and is both affordable and non-invasive.
The treatment combines smartlipo and laser skin resurfacing to stimulate collagen production in the skin, helping fill in the stretch marks while also tightening the skin to make it look smoother and more youthful. Increased collagen production also helps increase the elasticity of the skin, according to AmericanHealthandBeauty.com.
"Whether it's stretch marks from pregnancy, puberty, exercise or weight gain - stretch marks cause us to be self-conscious about our skin, and they can be difficult to treat if you are not familiar with today's most effective stretch mark removal treatments," Dr Edwin Ishoo, developer of the technique, wrote on the site.
Individuals who have opted to go under the knife for a cosmetic procedure should consult with their plastic surgeon first to understand the possible side-effects and the recovery time.
With new advancements in scar treatment, many people may be able to use silicone ointments and gel sheeting products to help reduce the appearance of scars from a surgical procedure.
