One thing we know for certain is that change is constant, and that very much applies to the body, too.

While your body naturally oscillates between shapes and sizes, expanding and contracting in beautiful ways, your skin follows suit.

All of this growth and change can lead to stretch marks appearing, and while you can definitely celebrate them as marks on your life’s map, the lines can also feel a little pesky.

Knowing how stretch marks appear is one way to help treat your skin the way that it needs to be treated to counteract the visibility of any unwanted marks.

Pregnancy is a great example of how life transforms the body. During this life-giving moment, skin changes dramatically and stretching causes collagen and elastin ruptures.

Stretch marks, noticeably reddish-purple, appear as your skin tries to heal itself, and the increase in hormones don’t help either.

But that’s not a given, as your genes can also dictate the state of your skin. If your parents didn’t have any stretch marks, it could be that you won’t get them, either.

It’s also perfectly normal to have stretch marks without ever having carried a child.

If you had a rapid growth spurt during puberty, with all those hormones out and about, your skin might still show the effects.

Additionally, if you ever lost or gained weight in a short period of time, there’s a chance stretch marks will appear in honour of the change.

Likewise, with hurried muscle growth during weight training and working out.

So, it’s all about rapid changes in the body’s size, as well as increased hormonal levels that make your skin show some marks.

If stretch marks are something you want to banish, a decent amount of work is required as there is no single treatment that can remove this type of scarring quickly and effortlessly.

That’s where Renewal Institute’s highly skilled team comes in.

They believe that starting the skin rejuvenation process as soon as possible will give you the best results and luckily, they’ve got the treatments needed down pat.

Carboxytherapy helps with cellulite reduction, lymph drainage, and circulation, as well as improving collagen content in the skin, which makes stretch marks look less noticeable.

A therapy such as this works deep within the body to break up fat cells, stimulate new vessels, and rejuvenate the skin, boosting tone and texture.

Otherwise, there’s also Laser Genesis, Dermapen skin needling, and Mesotherapy of Dermaheal growth factors, which are all known to be part of an effective stretch mark solution.

If you would rather just smooth out your skin from the comfort of your own home, Skin Renewal’s Cellulite Gel is a great option.

The gel has a powerful blend of active ingredients that help increase blood circulation (for lymph drainage, too), and really helps improve the tightening of your skin.

If you’re feeling inspired, you can make an appointment with one of Body Renewal’s doctors, who can best assess how you should go about achieving smoother skin.
