1. What are stretch marks?

Stretch marks are small, indented lines on the skin. Most pregnant women have stretch marks on their bellies, and they usually appear in the middle and late stages of pregnancy because at this time, the belly of the pregnant woman will rapidly expand and stretch to accommodate the growth and development of the fetus in the abdomen. Some pregnant women also develop stretch marks on their hips, thighs, buttocks and breasts.

1. Stretch marks during pregnancy

Stretch marks are caused by changes in the elastic support tissue next to the skin. Stretch marks start out as pink, reddish brown, purple, or dark brown. The color of stretch marks during pregnancy depends on the skin color of the pregnant mother. Once stretch marks appear, they cannot be completely removed, but their color will fade over time.

2. Postpartum stretch marks

6 to 12 months after delivery, the mother's stretch marks will usually become less clear. The color of stretch marks will gradually fade, usually lighter than the surrounding skin. The specific color it becomes depends on the skin color of the pregnant mother. But the texture of stretch marks will not change after delivery.

2. How to eliminate stretch marks

1. Hot compress application method

Before using it every day, apply a hot towel for a few minutes, then evenly apply some special stretch mark removal products on the area with stretch marks, and gently massage until the skin is completely absorbed. You have to stick to this method. If you only apply it when you remember to, and don't apply it when you don't remember to, and don't insist on using it in the correct way, no effective thing will cure the stretch marks on your body. Moreover, this treatment course is also related to the severity of each person's stretch marks, the time of starting use, etc. You can't just follow the crowd, just stick to your own ideas!

2. Running to get rid of stretch marks

Running can fully exercise the buttocks and thighs, help convert local fat into muscle, and reduce stretch marks on the buttocks and thighs. You can do it on an accelerated treadmill in the gym, adjust the resistance from level 2 to level 3, and raise the seat appropriately. When sitting, lean your buttocks slightly toward the back of the seat. Of course, you can also jog or jog outdoors. Aerobic exercise can promote the body's metabolism and waste elimination.
