Postpartum Abdominal and Hip Fissure Treatment
Hormonal changes during pregnancy and rapid stretching of the skin following weight gain cause spots on the skin and cracks in the abdomen, hips, breasts, arms and hips. Stretch marks become evident in women who gain weight quickly and especially after the 5th month of pregnancy. Abdominal stretch marks are more prominent in light-skinned women, and spots are more prominent in brunettes.
Cracking of the skin is a kind of tear, that is, it occurs as a result of the destruction of the elastin and collagen tissues of the skin due to the rapid and excessive stretching of the skin. Although the cracks first appear pinkish, they may turn purple over time, becoming pale and whitish over the years. Cracks can also cause disfigurement in the form of raised or pitted skin.
Stretch marks are especially common in fair-skinned people, young people who gain weight rapidly and grow in height, mothers with a stretched abdomen due to childbirth, and people with genetic predisposition. Those who use long-term cortisone creams and those who are on systemic cortisone treatment are in the risk group for the development of cracks. Stretch marks are less common in those who exercise before pregnancy and those who do not smoke.
Abdominal Stretch Marks and Laser Treatment during Pregnancy
There is no method to completely prevent the formation of stretch marks during pregnancy. Eating a balanced diet, avoiding rapid weight gain and loss, regular exercises, and giving importance to moisturizing the body are effective in reducing the formation of stretch marks.
The appearance of the cracks in the initial stage is pale red or purple. At this stage, blood circulation in the tissue has increased. Irregularly secreted collagen and elastin production in the tissue is at a level that can be controlled with treatment. Treatments at this stage are satisfactory. Then the red image leaves itself to white. Treatments performed at the white stage are more difficult and can provide a response in a long time. However, it is beneficial to start the treatment at every stage.
With Femilift Pixel CO2 Laser Technology, the skin’s collagen and elastin tissue is restructured, the skin is tightened and recovered, the appearance of cracks improves, the skin returns to its normal color, and the appearance of skin depressions improves. It is recommended that the application be performed in 3-4 sessions with intervals of 4-6 weeks until the appearance of the cracks improves.
