How do Belly Bandit silicone patches for stretch marks work?
Belly Bandit Silicone Skin Defense patches help treat and prevent scarring by providing targeted moisture therapy to dry, irritated skin. Made from oxygen-permeable silicone, these stretch mark patches let your skin breathe freely while locking in essential nutrients and moisture to keep your skin ultra-hydrated throughout the day. Applying one of our ultra-thin silicone patches to your tummy, thighs, hips, tush, or even your healed and closed C-section incision area can help nourish your skin, soften scars, and relieve itching, swelling, and stiffness.
Why do I need silicone patches during pregnancy?
During pregnancy, your skin stretches and expands to accommodate a growing belly. This abrupt stretching of the skin, followed by a sudden shrinkage after birth, often results in a type of scar called a stretch mark. Wearing silicone stretch mark patches during your pregnancy can help moisturize the areas of your skin that are more prone to stretch marks, like your belly, hips, and thighs. In a nutshell: Keeping the skin hydrated can help it stretch (and recover) more easily.
Can you avoid stretch marks during pregnancy?
It’s possible—although there is a genetic component to stretch marks, so it might be out of your control. Each body is different and not everyone develops stretch marks during their pregnancy. You can reduce your chances of developing stretch marks by keeping your skin hydrated and moisturized throughout your pregnancy and during postpartum recovery.
When should I start using stretch mark cream during pregnancy?
The American Academy of Dermatology has found that stretch mark cream is most effective when used on newer stretch marks, so it’s best to start using stretch mark cream as soon as stretch marks appear. Always check with your doctor before using stretch mark cream while pregnant or breastfeeding to make sure the product’s ingredients are safe for your baby.
How long do pregnancy stretch marks take to fade?
Generally, stretch marks developed during pregnancy take anywhere from six to 12 months to fade. It all depends on the size of the stretch marks and how quickly your body is able to heal and repair itself.
How do I get rid of pregnancy stretch marks?
Stretch marks are a type of scar, so they’ll likely never disappear entirely, but they can fade over time. The key is to keep your skin hydrated and moisturized. This can help reduce scarring and encourage the marks to fade more quickly.
Do silicone patches help with stretch marks?
Yes! The American Academy of Dermatology has found that silicone patches help prevent stretch marks and can also be beneficial in treating them after they appear.
Will these silicone patches help moisturize my skin during pregnancy?
You bet! Our stretch mark patches are designed to prevent important nutrients and moisture from evaporating. This helps keep your skin ultra-hydrated so you can finally say goodbye to dry, itchy pregnancy skin.
Do Belly Bandit silicone patches help alleviate scarring after c-section?
Belly Bandit Silicone Skin Defense patches are a great way to help reduce scarring around your incision area and soften hardened, stiff skin. Just make sure your incision area is completely healed and closed before you start using one of our stretch mark patches.
How do I apply silicone patches for pregnancy skin care?
Using our silicone patches for skin care while pregnant is easy! Start by washing and drying the area you would like to treat. Next, remove the clear plastic backing from the silicone patch and place the adhesive side directly against your skin. For maximum effectiveness, be sure to wear your silicone stretch mark patch for at least 12 hours a day. After you’ve finished wearing your patch, gently hand wash it in warm water, then lay it flat with the adhesive side up to dry. Once it’s completely dry, you can reattach it to the clear plastic backing included in the package and store it for future use.
