00:00The smile of a 23-year-old girl, Mika, is finally here.
00:06She is now excited to go on a summer outing.
00:10This is the first time in a long time that she is confident to wear a bikini.
00:18From the weight of 187 lbs two years ago,
00:23she managed to lose her weight to 128 lbs.
00:28Last January, Mika decided to lose weight because it is easier for her to breathe.
00:36She also said that she wants to increase her self-confidence.
00:39There are new clothes that I want to wear but it doesn't look good on me.
00:44That's a bit disappointing.
00:46No matter how I justify it, even if I put on makeup,
00:50even if I think I look good, I don't feel good in what I wear.
00:54Thanks to a meal plan program that she tried,
00:58she reached her target weight.
01:01Consistently for three weeks,
01:04that meal plan, no bread, no cheese, no milk.
01:08Anything that was bad for me, that slowed my metabolism.
01:12I really tried not to eat.
01:15For me, since I finished that program, I realized,
01:19wow, I was able to do it.
01:22So I continued with that meal plan even after the three-week program.
01:31But what is this?
01:33Mika's smile has been replaced by a dismay.
01:36Because the skin on some parts of her body is also thin,
01:40she has stretch marks on her arms, on her shoulders, and on her legs.
01:46I wear shorts, but I make sure that the stretch marks are not visible.
01:51Especially for morenas, because the stretch mark line is fair.
01:56So in contrast, if you're morena, it's really visible.
01:59Especially during the summer, if you're dark, it's really visible.
02:04The stretch marks are the peculiars formed in the dermis layer of the skin
02:09and the result of over-stretched skin.
02:13If the elastic fibers of the skin are too stretched,
02:17it will break and leave marks.
02:21It's like a rubber band.
02:23If you stretch it at a certain point, then you let it go, it will come back.
02:27But if you stretch it too much, it can break.
02:34So that is actually the role of the elastic fiber.
02:38Getting fat, like what happened to Mika,
02:42is one of the reasons why the skin is completely thin.
02:46It is also more common for women to have stretch marks,
02:50especially when the skin is completely thin during pregnancy.
02:54Men usually have stretch marks when they lose weight
02:58or when they don't do bodybuilding.
03:00Stretch marks are usually formed in the forehead,
03:03armpit, temple, and upper arm.
03:09And because it is a type of peculiar, it doesn't just disappear.
03:14It is also not enough to use stretch marks to get rid of it,
03:18just like what Mika did.
03:20People just rely on stretch marks to treat stretch marks.
03:25Actually, there are no stretch marks that can penetrate that deep into that area.
03:31Even so, treatment like fractional laser can remove stretch marks
03:37because it targets the deep layer of the skin where the stretch marks are formed.
03:42And it can take up to 4 sessions before the stretch marks are removed.
03:48It depends on how severe it is.
03:51Aside from laser treatment, there is another effective way to remove stretch marks,
03:56which is carboxytherapy.
03:57After anesthesia,
04:00Mika started what is called carboxytherapy.
04:04Here, carbon dioxide gas is directly injected into the skin with stretch marks
04:09that will stimulate the skin to release enough collagen
04:13that is needed to fix it and remove the stretch marks.
04:19Mika is so beautiful!
04:28I felt a stingy sensation.
04:31It's like my grandmother pinched me.
04:34It is said that it takes 4 sessions
04:37before you can see an improvement in Mika's stretch marks in the skin.
04:41If you are one of those who are suffering from these stretch marks in your body,
04:46consult a dermatologist.
04:49If you are one of those who are suffering from these stretch marks in your body,
04:53consult a dermatologist.
04:55Consult a dermatologist
04:58because there are ways to remove stretch marks
05:01that are not visible or completely gone.
