Costs of removing stretch marks
To be beautiful is expensive. If you wonder why those celebrities seem to be flawless, that is because they paid good money to achieve that look.
Stretch marks are nature’s way of telling us that we cannot be perfect. Even celebrities have those. Like every women, female celebrities give birth to. We also know male celebrities work out like crazy to get that sexy physique. In magazines, these celebrities have flawless skin. They get that for free, thanks to the lay-out artists who polish them up using photoshop and airbrushing.
But there are ways you can remove or reduce those pesky scars. With the use of technology, stretch marks can be made less noticeable or better yet, totally eradicated. It comes with a price though, but as mentioned earlier, to be beautiful is expensive.
Here are some of the latest technological surgeries you can turn to if you choose to remove your stretch marks.
1. Retin-A Treatment
Normally recommended by doctors. You need a prescription from your physician before you can purchase one at your drug store. It works best when the stretch marks still have the pink or reddish color. However, not all stretch marks start being of that shade. If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, do not use Retin A to avoid side effects on the infant. If you experience a burning or peeling sensation on the parts where you applied it, this only means that the solution is working for you. The new generation of collagen is replacing the old damaged one. A couple of weeks later, you will see the results. The cost is how much your drug store sells the Retin-A for.
2. Micro-Dermabrasion Treatment
Here, chemical materials with micro-crystals are sprayed on your skin. This requires multiple sessions. Generally, it takes 10 to 12 sessions in a span of three to four months. However, micro-dermabrasion treatment is a painful process, often compared to being lashed or whipped. Not to mention, there is also a possibility you can acquire a new set of scars during the session. Side effects of the treatment are still being looked upon. A person who underwent the treatment is warned to not go directly under the sunlight after one session. The cost is $100 to $200 per session. If you are decided to go through it, have $1000 to $1200 with you.
3. Laser Treatment
Laser or Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation has been used in eye surgeries and removal of tattoos. When it comes to surgeries, laser has been highly effective over the years. It has successfully removed wrinkles, scars, acne, facial and body hair. The procedure may be painful and the person would experience bruising, scabbing and peeling sensations but it will be worth it. Multiple sessions are required in the treatment. It costs $600 to $700 per session. Estimated 7 to 8 sessions are required to complete the whole eradication process. If you have decided to go through laser treatment, have $5 to $10 thousand dollars with you. The advantage of laser surgery compared to others is that it is the fastest and most effective way in treating stretch marks. Downside is it does not guarantee certain results. Like all treatments, this does not work for everyone.
So think carefully whether you will resort to technology and spend thousands to remove your stretch marks. If you have cash to spare, go for it. If not, you can always resort to home remedy. Cocoa butter has been proven to help lighten the dark spots as long as you apply it diligently and religiously.
Maybe being beautiful does not have to be expensive. You just have to be patient.
