Fading Stretch Marks: Prevention and Remedies

January 1, 2024

Pregnant mothers are delighted to see their babies grow healthy in their bellies, but they also worry about the appearance of stretch marks. Generally, once stretch marks appear, it is very difficult to completely remove them, but they will gradually fade over time.
 




 

       Dietary Supplements

    After 6 months of delivery or weaning: Mothers should eat more foods rich in collagen, such as pig's trotters and sheep's trotters, as well as foods rich in vitamin C, such as oranges, strawberries, and vegetables. They can also consume more milk and dairy products rich in vitamin B6. It is also important to take care of and massage the skin regularly, ensure adequate sleep, and help the skin regain elasticity and alleviate stretch marks.

    Exercise

    Running can fully exercise the buttocks and thighs, helping to convert local fat into muscles and fading the obesity marks on the buttocks and thighs. You can do this on the treadmill at the gym by adjusting the resistance from 2 to 3 and raising the seat slightly. When sitting, lean your buttocks slightly towards the back of the seat. Of course, you can also jog or run outdoors, as aerobic exercise can promote metabolism and waste elimination.

    Buttock Contractions

    Lie on your back on the floor, bend your legs, and place your hands flat on both sides of your body. Lift your buttocks as high as possible, contracting the muscles of your buttocks. Hold for 3 seconds, then slowly lower. Repeat this exercise 15 times, practice 3 times a week, and after 4 weeks, your buttocks will become noticeably firmer and the stretch marks will be reduced.

    Hot Compress Massage

    Use a warm towel to apply heat for a few minutes before using a specialized stretch mark removal product to evenly apply and massage the affected area until the skin is fully absorbed. This method requires consistency. If you only apply it when you remember or don't apply it at all, and don't use it correctly, no effective product will be able to treat stretch marks on your body.
 




 

    The best way to remove stretch marks is to prevent them. Take preventive measures before delivery, and you will basically not have stretch marks after delivery. Even if they do appear, they can be easily faded and removed.
