Get Rid Of Stretch Marks
New Procedure Promises To Smooth Away Stretch Marks
HOUSTON, 12:17 p.m. CDT May 17, 2001 -- Like cellulite and saddlebags, stretch marks are a problem that all women dread.
There may be hope for women whose patience has been stretched by the unsightly marks.
An Israeli doctor developed a process called the Stretch Peel, which works as a chemical peel does for the face.
The treatments require clients to go to a doctor's office for a series of six treatments that cost $750.
The treatment is available at the SanaBella Aesthetic Center where aesthetician Odette Binker-Caballero said that people are embarrassed by stretch marks.
"People are really ashamed to see stretch marks and to show off their body with stretch marks," Binker-Caballero said. "Most of the time when you have stretch marks, it is some place visible."
The treatment requires the area being treated to be washed and then a clear, liquid peel solution is brushed on the stretch marks in several layers.
"You can feel a little burning or tingling sensation, that is the most that you can feel," Binker-Caballero said.
The stretch marks are treated with an electronic buffer, which helps accelerates the process.
"It diminishes the stretch marks, I would say about 90 percent," Binker-Caballero said.
A study in the Archives of Dermatology said that most creams and lotions do little to remove stretch marks.
However items with Retin-A do work if they are applied daily when stretch marks begin to happen.
