ABDOMINAL SKIN FIRMING & STRETCH MARK REDUCTION TREATMENTS
Microdermabrasion has been used for many years to cleanse the skin's surface, reduce imperfections and sun damage, and stimulate collagen production. The stimulation of collagen in turn creates firming and tightening. Every 28-42 days our skin turns over new cells. Microdermabrasion cleans off old dry cells and stimulates new cell production. When we immediately add tightening creams to the cleansed surface, we are allowing that product to get to those new cells. Adding ultrasound over the surface allows deeper penetration by increasing blood flow and oxygenation to the treated skin. Getting these firming products deeper towards the basal level multiplies the desired effects.
Now, in 28-42 days, cells will again need to be exfoliated. To get desired results, these treatments should be scheduled every two weeks to allow deeper penetration and resolution at that basal level where discoloration/wrinkling stems from. Think of it like the layers of a rainbow; if waiting too long in between treatments, you essentially have to go back to working on that outer layer. Studies show layered microdermabrasion to be the most effective treatment for stretch mark reduction outside of laser treatments.
Six treatments, two weeks apart, is the best way to issue resolution. Results also will vary by individual taking into account degree of issue, location, age, skin type and nutrition. The abdomen, lateral hip area, and upper buttocks can be treated. Having good sun protection will help protect and prolong your results as the sun's damage breaks down collagen.
Nutrition is also key to success. Proper water intake and use of good vitamins/supplements will aid in skin health and boost results. For those looking to reduce weight as well as firming skin in the mid-section, please check into our supplement protocol. This is reasonably priced, natural, and is very effective. Sometimes exercise alone is not enough.
