Revitol Stretch Mark Cream

What Are Stretch Marks?

Stretch Marks also known as Striae are a type of scar beneath the skin. Stretch marks occur when body shape changes or skin is stretched in any way. This overstretching is usually caused by the rapid growth of the body, such as weight gain or loss, obesity, pregnancy, hormonal changes during puberty, or muscle building. Basically, nearly anything that causes changes in body shape or proportions can stress the skin and lead to stretch marks.

Although stretch marks do not pose any kind of health risk, they might be cosmetically unappealing, especially for females. Stretch marks will first appear as pinkish or reddish lines but as they fade will change to silvery. It is the degree of stretching of the dermis that will influence the direction in which they run and their severity. Although they can appear anywhere on the body, the most common parts to find stretch marks are the abdomen, both under and upper arms, outer and inner thighs, buttocks, hips, breasts, and all areas where large amounts of fat are stored in the body.

Do Stretch Mark Creams Really Work?

There is a wide variety of anti-stretch mark products available on the market today. While each and every one of them claims to be able to get rid of stretch marks, the truth is that most stretch mark creams are only capable of treating the surface of the skin.

Stretch marks can be treated by anything that stimulates healing in the deeper, collagen-based layers of the skin. Fortunately for women, dermatologists have spent much time and energy studying non-surgical techniques to get rid of stretch marks and heal the skin.

Revitol Stretch Mark Cream was developed as a preventive treatment for stretch marks. It can be used before, during, and after pregnancy. It can also be used for any type of stretch marks whether they are due to weight gain or bodybuilding.

It’s very important that you start treating them early. This will increase your chances of getting rid of them. You can start your stretch mark prevention plan even before you get pregnant. It is wise to strengthen your skin and increase its elasticity so it won’t be easily damaged when stretched.
