Effective Stretch Mark Treatment & Prevention
Effective Stretch Mark – Striae Cream
If you are pregnant, you might want to invest in a good cream that would prevent stretch marks. Stretch marks are common in pregnancy, affecting 50-90% of pregnant women.although they're more common in white women than African-American women. Stretch marks also affect body builders, athletes, adolescents undergoing rapid growth spurts and anyone who experiences periods of rapid growth or weight gain.
Stretch Marks arise whenever skin is stretched beyong its tensile stress limits.
Most of the stretch marks appear on a woman's belly from about 6 months onward, that is when the belly is rapidly expanding to accommodate her growing baby and the skin is stretched to its limit. Stretch marks tend to be concentrated around the areas that store the most fat and do the most stretching.
What are Stretch Marks?
Stretch Marks are actually small tears that form in the tissue that supports the skin and helps it stretch. A stretch mark represents the tearing or separation of collagen from the skin when tissue tearing occurs. Stretch marks are not harmful or painful.
We have three layers of skin: the epidermis (outer layer), the dermis (middle layer), and the subcutaneous stratum (innermost layer). Stretch marks occur in the dermis, the resilient middle layer that helps the skin retain its shape. When the dermis is constantly stretched over time, the skin becomes less elastic and the small connective fibers within it break. The result is what we know as stretch marks.
What is the most effective treatment?
Home remedies such as Cocoa Butter or moisturizing creams simply do not work. We offer a cream that utilizes biological activators of your bodies own skin growth factors to prevent and eliminate stretch marks. It both dissolves damaged collagen skin cells and triggers the renewal of collagen, elastin and glycosaminoglycans, and it also accelerates the replacement of damage cells from within the deep layers of the skin.
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are complex sugar molecules located primarily on the surface of cells or in the extracellular matrix (ECM). Along with the high viscosity of GAGs comes low compressibility, which makes these molecules ideal lubricating fluids in the joints. At the same time, their rigidity provides structural integrity to cells and provides passageways between cells, allowing for cell migration. Their role in skin stretching is given by their shock absorbing, hydrating and swelling pressure properties, enabling tissues to withstand compressional forces and successfully prevent tearing and scarring of the deep layers of the skin.
Collagen is an abundant protein found in the skin, cartilage and tendons. It forms strong fibers and serves as a connective tissue between cells making it the basic building block of the skin. Elastin, also known as elasticin, is a protein in the connective tissue that is elastic and allows skin to return to its original position when it is poked or pinched. Elastin is a protein produced naturally in the skin which gives it elasticity.
With regular use -twice a day for a period of time depending on how old and deep the stretch mark tears are- BIO SKIN CARE cream exfoliates damaged cells and gently dissolves skin lesions reducing and even eliminating all signs of stretch marks. It also eliminates pathogens and creates an environment that triggers the regeneration of normal collagen and a healthy skin. Nourishes the skin and protects it from oxidative damage due to free radicals, improves elasticity, increases density, moisture retention capacity and firmness.
Use BIO SKIN CARE™ Cream as a daily biological activator to protect, maintain and restore your healthy skin, naturally!
