Can You Get Rid of Stretch Marks? by:Nicky Pilkington
The question, "Can you get rid of stretch marks
?" sounds simple enough, but the answer to the question is not so easy. Ask 10 skin specialists this question and you are likely to receive answers spread across the board. On one side of the issue are the specialists who believe that the answer to the question is an emphatic, "no." The reason behind this school of thought is associated with collagen. Some skin specialists believe that once collagen is decreased in an area of the body, there is no way to regenerate it so that the skin heals and is restored to its normal elasticity.
On the other side of the debate are those skin specialists who believe that the answer to the question, "Can you get rid of stretch marks?" is "yes." There have been reports from tests that indicate that it is possible to rebuild the level of collagen in an individual's body. These tests also reveal that it doesn't take intense prescription medication to rebuild collagen. Many people, pregnant women in particular, have reported a reduction in their stretch marks by using common products such as Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Massage Lotion for Stretch Marks. This product costs less than $5 and is available just about anywhere products for the skin are sold.
Moisturizing the skin is a helpful preventive measure against stretch marks. Since there are different answers to the question, people will basically have to decide for themselves which side of the debate they want to believe.
