Stretch marks on the back: understand the reasons and try to eliminate

Stretch marks on the skin - unaesthetic defect,which is due to various factors. Some people are frustrated by their presence (for example, when stretch marks appear on the back, various hypochondriacs are embarrassed to wear open clothes), others make you think about your health, and third, it does not interest you at all. The article is created for those who want to understand the causes of the appearance of small furrows and learn how to eliminate this skin problem.

When and who does this defect appear?

Stretch marks (striae) are not a disease. Sometimes they testify to hormonal changes in the human body, and unless only in this case can they be regarded as a pathology. Most often, striae arise from the violation of the skin turgor (loss of its elasticity), when the dermis is stretched. Therefore, they are only for a few groups of people:

• The first is pregnant women. Here the preconditions are two factors: hormonal changes and literal stretching of the dermis due to the growing fetus. Most often they appear in the abdomen and chest area.
• The second category - people, or sharply typed,or sharply threw off weight. In intensive periods, not every skin is ready for metamorphosis. Therefore, in some of its areas, where it is mechanically damaged (usually the buttocks, hips and abdomen), stretch marks appear.
• The third is boys and girls. During the intensive growth of the dermis does not have time to properly "grow up," and therefore there are stretch marks on the back of a teenager, who until recently was not very tall. These skin sites do not have enough of the necessary substances to be generated into a normal, full-fledged derma. Also, the "hormonal upheaval" plays an important role, which is characteristic of adolescence.

What happens to the skin when striae appear?

For example, when stretch marks appear on the back, thisspeaks of two possible causes: either about increased growth, or about accelerated weight gain. Hence it is clear that the skin is literally stretched, mechanically damaged. And then the body begins to "tie" the torn sections with a connective tissue, so the old striae are a bit like scars (whitish, unpigmented). At first, this tissue is saturated with blood capillaries, and therefore during the appearance of stretch marks look pinkish, and even completely purple-red. It depends on the density of the dermis and the areas on which they formed. Then there is a natural aging process of the tissue: it loses its elasticity and is dehydrated, the capillaries cease to function and die off. As a consequence, the grooves become white, and even the sun's rays will not make them darken due to the lack of pigment in these parts of the skin.

Since red, pink or even white stretch marks on the back, for example, or other parts of the body attract very few people, then the next stage of the problem's consideration is logical: how to remove them?

Disappear or not disappear?

This is one of the few problems, the solution of which is notdepends on the factor of its appearance. By attentive to the reasons that led to the appearance of striae, one can only try to prevent their further spread.

The reader should immediately be warned thatthe fight against whitish furrows may not be successful without surgical intervention due to old age and irretrievability of the process: the skin is already damaged, and nothing can be done about it with the help of masks, creams, or by changing the diet.

So, how to remove stretch marks on the skin?

• If you notice their appearance, and they are pink, change the diet: use more protein, since it is he who participates in the generation of the dermis.
• Use cosmetics, with a highthe content of collagen (you need to lubricate all the skin, not just the problem areas) or just moisturizing creams. Do this regularly. Instead of creams you can use oils, because they contain vitamin A, responsible for the beauty of the skin.
• You can try to do a massage. It is very important not to stretch the skin during this massage, but to gently warm your hands.
• Another good option is to apply scrubs. They contribute to the renewal of the dermis, and it is possible that striae will "retreat".
• From the "heavy artillery" against the whitenedfurrows (which are already obsolete) is one tool that, although it does not promise 100% of the result, but to make them less noticeable will precisely be able to - it's laser peeling.

That's the way you can try to removestretch marks on the back. Of course, no method guarantees their complete disappearance, but, perhaps, the combination of these methods, built into the systemic daily skin care, will be more effective?
