Effective Laser Surgery For Removing Stretch Marks

Earlier in the day we were talking about how to remove stretch marks with laser surgery. Stretch marks are of particular interest to my wife and daughter and they seem to think that researching stretch marks on the Internet gives me something to do. Like I didn’t mention that before.

I have just had an afternoon’s golf and my wife says she is a “golf widow”. Now the definition of a golf widow is a woman whose husband leaves her to her own devices and she can find nothing useful to do. Well it may not have been useful but my daughter has just been telling me how she and her mother have spent all afternoon talking about skin care, dry skin, stretch marks, skin care products and treatment. So I don’t believe she can justify calling herself a golf widow.

Did you know that using the words stretch marks is somewhat misleading? This is because the real origin of these stretch marks is too much of the hormones known as glucocorticoids causing the skin to lose its elasticity. When something then causes the skin to stretch, such as pregnancy or an increase in weight, there is no enough collagen for natural skin renewal to take place. The fibers, which hold the skin together, break and lose elasticity causing a lack of melanocyte cells. These are the cells which give skin its color. This results firstly in red and purple streaks that turn white as they age.

I guess that’s enough of the small talk if you are contemplating using laser surgery to remove stretch marks, I believe, that first you should way up the pros and cons. To remove stretch marks by laser surgery helps restore the skins natural production of collagen, which is also the aim of most skin care product for getting rid of stretch marks. The reason using laser surgery to remove stretch marks are so successful is because it treats more than the top layer of the skin and it actually penetrates into the skin layers where collagen is formed.

The main disadvantage of using laser surgery to remove stretch marks is that it generally takes a number of regular treatment sessions and a good deal of money before you see the improvement in your skin. If at all possible it is always a good idea to try and prevent stretch marks.

There is a wonderful smell coming from the kitchen so I will finish here and go and investigate. My wife is really at her best when she’s in the kitchen. This is probably where some of you are going to call me chauvinistic. I’m not really, I love my wife dearly, but I’m glad she doesn’t play golf.
