How Lara got her curves back and "stretchmarks” out.
Back when I used to assist OB-Gyne’s in prepping up patients (both for normal delivery or caesarean section) at a tertiary hospital, a lot of the would-be mothers had three common concerns—deliver a healthy baby, regain their post-maternal figure and how to get rid of stretchmarks.
Those nasty, annoying and dark stretchmarks that accumulate in the nine months of their pregnancy. The most common suggestion was a brand of cocoa butter that came in a small tube but all the raves about cocoa butter stopped because you had to apply it at the start of your pregnancy and not post pregnancy.
Thus, new moms started a seemingly neverending search for a viable and safer alternative with the most frustrated ones even resorting to Tattoos to conceal those stretchmarks.
According to Wikipedia, stretch marks or striae (singular stria), as referred by dermatologists, are a form of scarring on the skin with an off-color hue. Stretch marks formed during pregnancy, usually during the last trimester, and usually on the belly, but also commonly occurring on the breasts, thighs, hips, lower back and buttocks, are known as striae gravidarum.[
And as actress and former Miss International 2005 Precious Lara Quigaman confessed, even former beauty queens are not exempted from this problem. After giving birth to her first baby Noah Lamar last November 10, 2012, Precious said besides working out to get her figure back, she was also researching for ways on how to remove her stretch marks.
Thankfully, her search led to her discovery of Bio-Oil.
“I started using Bio-Oil a few months back and I started to notice changes in just three weeks, and it was even my trainers who pointed it out and they asked me what I was using,” Precious told guests at the launch of Bio Oil held at the Edsa Shang-rila Hotel last September 18, 2013.
Wearing an orange Grecian back-baring gown, Precious was a picture of confidence as she sashayed to the stage flaunting her slimmer and more flawless figure after being introduced as Bio-Oil’s brand ambassador.
Besides Precious, several respectable OB Gynes from different Metro Manila hospitals, served as resource persons to explain how Bio Oil can help effectively lighten stretch marks and that expectant mothers can use it as early as their second trimestral to help prevent those dreaded dark lines.
They also suggested that moms should avoid scratching their stomachs to prevent the striae that look like bands, stripes, or lines for occurring.
Bio-Oil works thanks to its formulation of combined plant extracts and vitamins suspended in an oil base. It contains the breakthrough ingredient PurCellin Oil™, which changes the formulation’s overall consistency, making it light and non-greasy. This ensures that the goodness contained in the vitamins and plant extracts is easily absorbed. Bio-Oil is also effective against ageing and dehydrated skin.
