Stretch marks on breasts: what to do
Stretch marks on breasts, when they form and how to treat them
Stretch marks on breasts are probably the most hated ones by women. These are generally due to puberty and therefore affect young girls, sometimes creating considerable embarrassment due to their conspicuousness, especially in summer.
In fact, many girls explain their discomfort on not being able to wear a tank top or low-cut blouse because of the evidence of stretch marks while others give up on going to the beach and sunbathing for the same reason.
Other periods during which stretch marks on breasts form are pregnancy and breast-feeding.
The main problem with these skin lesions is the lack of ability to tan which then leads them to become more and more visible in summer, with the adjacent intact tissue that tans normally, creating the so-called “zebra effect”.
For many years it was not possible to treat this pathology seriously and the girls who had been affected by it saw them become more and more visible and deep, sometimes so impacting that they were changing the shape and harmony of the breast.
Today we know that there is a therapy called Biodermogenesi® that can treat stretch marks on breasts. The first clinical study in this sense was brought by the School of Dermatology of the University of Pisa [01] which showed that the stretch marks on breasts are regenerated and get a tan.
One of the patients, treated by the University of Pisa (the one we see in the example), brought the clinical and psychological aspects together. In fact, the girl lives in a resort on the Tyrrhenian coast near Pisa and she explained researchers that it had been seven years without going to the beach because of the psychological complex caused by her stretch marks. After the treatment with Biodermogenesi® her stretch marks were filled, regenerated and tanned and she forgot the emotional stress they caused her.
The efficacy of Biodermogenesi® in the stretch marks treatment on breasts has also been proved by other studies [02, 03], one of them02 documented a multiplication of elastic fibres which also allow a recovery of skin tone and breast remodelling.
