The appearance of stretch marks is multifactorial and involves physical factors (skin stretching, weight gain) and hormonal factors such as changes in gestational period.

How stretch marks arise

According to Dr. Maria Paula Del Nero, a dermatologist at the Brazilian Society of Dermatology, stretch marks are stretches of the skin that rupture due to loss of elasticity at the site. Stretch marks can appear in adolescence, during muscle mass, height, and pregnancy.

According to Dr. Isabel Martinez this is one of the most common phases for their emergence. "Stretch marks can affect more than 70% of pregnant women and in these cases, are common along the abdomen and breasts, but can also appear on the flanks, buttocks, thighs and legs," he said.

Preventing them from arising is not easy, but there are tips to prevent them. In addition to being mindful of weight gain, you need to keep the skin and body always hydrated. If they have already appeared, the ideal is to do dermatological treatments and use cosmetics that will minimize the effect of the marks.

The treatments most indicated by dermatologists

Cosmetics help to prevent stretch marks from appearing, but if they have long since appeared or are beginning to appear on the skin, it is best to seek a dermatologist.The doctor will be able to indicate the best treatment to make these unwanted streaks disappear from your body once and for all.

Dr. Carla Tamler explained that the time and effectiveness of the procedure on each person are variable and also told which interventions are best for those looking to end this problem. ? In my opinion, erbium-glass and fractional CO2 are the best. Are laser devices that penetrate the skin in the form of micro beams, stimulating a regeneration and important improvement of skin texture and color ?.

Erbium-glass Laser: Erbium-Glass is a type of treatment in which the laser penetrates the epidermis and dermis, thus causing a rejuvenation. Thousands of micro light beams act by heating the water present on aged skin. The technique causes there to be a stimulus for the appearance of new skin. The sessions may be more or less intense depending on the patient's need. They may still be multiple or single.
Fractional CO2 Laser: acts in the same way as Erbium-glass, that is, warming the skin to stimulate the emergence of a new one. It also helps to encourage collagen production in the body. The treatment reaches deeper layers of the epidermis, but does not guarantee complete elimination of stretch marks. It only eliminates the narrowest marks.

The best stretch mark foods

But in addition to lotions, oils, sprays and dermatological treatments, stretch marks can be prevented in other ways. Maintaining a healthy diet is one of them.

Nutritionist Sabrina Lopes has revealed that the foods that make it more difficult for these unwanted brands to appear are those that help reconstitute the proteins contained in the skin. "The best stretch mark foods to avoid are those rich in vitamin E, C and A and also foods rich in zinc because it acts on collagen formation."

Adopt on your menu:

Rich in vitamin E: wheat, oats, seeds, nuts and also in tomatoes and avocados;
Rich in vitamin C: Acerola, orange, pineapple, lemon, kiwi and guava;
Rich in vitamin A: carrot, pumpkin, sweet potato, mango, melon and apricot;
Rich in Zinc: lentils and beans in lean meats, whole milk, bananas and raisins.

Avoid consumption:

Canned: tuna, heart of palm, sausage, olives;
Processed: Sausage, Ham, Hamburger;
Fritters: french fries, nuggets, hamburger and fast food;
Refined: donuts, breads, pastas and sweets in general.
