What to use to remove stretch marks: popular methods and scientific analysis on the Internet
Stretch marks are a common skin problem for many women during pregnancy or postpartum, appearing as striped depressions on the abdomen, thighs and other parts of the body. In the past 10 days, the discussion around "stretch mark removal" has continued to rise across the Internet. The following is a detailed analysis based on hot topics and scientific evidence.
1. Causes of stretch marks
Stretch marks are mainly caused by the rapid stretching of the skin leading to the breakage of collagen and elastic fibers in the dermis, and are related to factors such as genetics and hormonal changes (such as elevated cortisol).
| Formative stage | Features |
|---|---|
| Early stage (red streak stage) | Red or purple color with mild inflammation |
| Late stage (white streak stage) | The color becomes lighter and forms silvery white sunken scars |
2. Comparison of popular removal methods across the entire network
According to data from social platforms (such as Xiaohongshu, Weibo) and e-commerce platforms in the past 10 days, the following methods are the most discussed:
| method | Principle | Popular products/technologies | Effectiveness Rating (1-5★) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Topical skin care products | Moisturizing + Stimulating Collagen | Bioluo oil, Clarins wrinkle cream | ★★★ |
| Microneedle/RF | Promote skin repair and regeneration | Gold microneedle, fractional laser | ★★★★ |
| oral supplements | Improve skin elasticity | Collagen peptides, vitamin E | ★★ |
| Home massage | Improve local blood circulation | Olive oil + massager | ★★ |
3. Effective means of scientific verification
1.Medical aesthetic treatment: Microneedle, radiofrequency, etc. can stimulate the repair of the dermal layer, but require multiple courses of treatment and are relatively expensive (about 2,000-5,000 yuan per session).
2.early intervention: Using products containing centella asiatica and hyaluronic acid during the red streak phase can relieve inflammation and reduce the probability of deterioration.
3.comprehensive care: Combined with moisturizing (such as shea butter) + sun protection (ultraviolet rays aggravate pigmentation) for better effect.
4. Controversies and Misunderstandings
1."Home remedies are ineffective": Egg whites, potato chips and other folk remedies have no scientific basis and may cause allergies.
2."Complete elimination is difficult": In the white streak stage, it can only be faded but cannot be completely removed. It needs to be rationally anticipated.
5. Prevention is better than cure
Controlling weight gain during pregnancy and applying moisturizing products consistently (such as starting from the second trimester) can reduce the probability of stretch marks.
Summary: To improve stretch marks, methods need to be selected according to the stage. Early intervention + medical aesthetics combination has the best effect. At the same time, patience and scientific attitude must be maintained.
