What Are Purple Stretch Marks?
Purple stretch marks are basically the initial phase of one’s newly obtained stretch marks. When you are just getting started on getting these marks, they start off in colors such as red, purple, brown black. The idea is that they start off in a dark shade and eventually get lighter over time.
Though many medicines and stretch marks removal creams suggest that they can get rid of it that it completely removes them. However, there has been no study that supports their claims. Stretch marks fade over time and may or may not completely disappear. Major chances are that though they may fade, they’ll stay there permanently fused to your skin. But it isn’t something to be feeling extremely discouraged about. They are just barely visible and don’t really alter your appearance in a negative way. In other words… they are just there and have no consequences whatsoever.
But it is true that people wish to have these stretch marks fade away much quicker than the pace at which they normally advance, which is extremely slow! Women who are pregnant also get these purple stretch marks due to the skin expanding at a really rapid pace. So what are some stretch marks removal creams that one can use to do this task? Is there a product that guarantees 100% removal… This is all discussed in the next section of this blog

Keep your skin well hydrated and most of the job is done already. Moisturizing your skin regularly can help maintain the elasticity of your skin. Most important during pregnancies, because a pregnancy can’t be winged and has to be taken care of with utmost precaution and hence skin should be moisturized because pregnancy stretch marks can be far more taxing on the skin due to a far more rapid and sudden expansion of the skin!

It stimulates collagen production in your skin which is responsible for elasticity and thus improves the appearance that has been ruined due to stretch marks! Multiple sessions can be booked and soon you’ll start noticing changes in the stretch marks getting improved slowly over time.
3. Micro-Needling

This step involves a roller with multiple sterilized needles inside it which is rolled over your skin. This tearing of the skin leads to the rise of production of more new cells which helps remove the stretch marks thus allowing for a fresher layer of skin to be developed over the existing one!
4. RF (Radiofrequency) Treatments

Over the course of time radio frequency treatments have been developed. Instead of tearing the skin, it is treated with heat simulation causing collagen to be produced at a faster pace. This technology is quite new and actually pretty good in terms of its efficiency!
5. Chemical peeling
