Umbuzo: Ngizamile okhilimu abaningi ukuze ngisuse ama-stretch marks, futhi akekho osebenze. Ngabe kukhona okunye engingakwenza?

A: Nakuba imbangela yokungabukeki “kwemivimbo” ebomvu noma emhlophe ingaqondakali kahle, ochwepheshe abaningi bayavuma ukuthi uma isikhumba sinwebeka kakhulu (okwenzeka ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa kanye nesisindo esisheshayo), i-collagen elukwe ngokuqinile ne-elastin esikhumbeni sesikhumba (esiphakathi) siba. mncane noma uqhekeke. (Cabanga ngokudonsa ibhande lenjoloba lize ligcine liqhumile noma lilahlekelwe ukunwebeka kwalo.) Ama-Fibroblast, amaseli aqala ukukhiqizwa kwe-collagen, nawo awuyeke lowo msebenzi, ngakho-ke "isibazi" sesikhumba sihlala. Ngokuvamile, ama-creams awasebenzi. Okuhlukile yi-prescription retinoic acid (etholakala eRenova naseRetin-A), ekhonjiswe ukuthi ithuthukisa ukubukeka kwamamaki amasha abomvu. Kodwa akuyona inketho yakho engcono kakhulu. "Ngikubonile imiphumela engemihle ngeRenova," kusho udokotela wesikhumba waseNew York City uDennis Gross, M.D. "Kusebenza kangcono ukuvuselela isikhumba esonakaliswe yilanga; ama-stretch marks ahlukile."

I-Gross ibone imiphumela encomekayo ngelaser ye-Nd:YAG, nokho, evame ukusetshenziselwa ukugqugquzela ukukhiqizwa kwe-collagen ukuze bushelelezi imibimbi. "I-laser ivula ama-fibroblasts ukuze ikhiqize i-collagen, esiza ukukhanyisa uphawu," esho. Nakuba kungakaze kube khona izifundo ngokusebenza kwale laser ekwelapheni ama-stretch marks, kube khona eziningana ezibonisa ukuthi uchungechunge lwezokwelapha nge-pulsed dye laser (olunye uhlobo lwe-laser) lungathuthukisa kokubili amamaki amasha navuthiwe (amhlophe). "Izifundo zingadluliselwa ku-Nd:YAG, ngoba zingama-lasers afanayo," kusho u-Gross. "Kodwa ngibonile impendulo engcono ngeNd: YAG, futhi imnene [kune-laser yedayi eshisiwe]."

Yize u-Gross ebone imiphumela "emihle kuye kwezinhle kakhulu" ezigulini eziningi ze-300 - 500 azelaphayo, ama-laser awasebenzi kuwo wonke umuntu. Kungakho evivinya indawo eyi-intshi eyodwa yesikhumba esimakwe kuqala. Labo isikhumba sabo esiphendula imvamisa badinga cishe izindlela ezintathu zokwelashwa ezihlukaniswe inyanga eyodwa ngokuhlukana, ngakunye okuhlala imizuzu eyi-10-30 futhi kubiza cishe ama- $ 400. Kodwa le ndlela yokwelashwa ayinayo imiphumela yayo emibi: ingadala ukuthi isikhumba sibe nsomi ngokubomvu kuze kube amasonto amabili futhi ngeke isetshenziswe esikhunjeni esimnyama noma esikhunjeni ngenxa yengozi yokuguqulwa kwesikhumba isikhathi eside.

Ukuze uthole udokotela onesitifiketi sebhodi endaweni yangakini owenza lokhu kwelashwa, xhumana ne-American Academy of Dermatology ku-(888) 462-DERM.
