How Stretch Marks Are Eliminated

The abatement or shrinking of scars, lesions, and stretch mark removal depends on a process called "skin remodeling". The skin is structured to heal wounds promptly to prevent blood loss and infection. Scars are created from a quickly formed "collagen glue" that the body accumulates into an injured area for protection and strength. In ideal skin repair, wounded skin is quickly closed, then the healed area is slowly regenerated to eliminate the residual collagen scars and blend the skin area into nearby skin.

Scar collagen is removed and replaced with a mixture of skin cells and imperceptible collagen fibers. This remodeling may continue in the skin area for about 10 years. In children, the remodeling rate is high and scars are usually quickly erased from damaged skin areas. But as we reach adulthood, this rate diminishes and tiny scars may remain for years. One way to accelerate remodeling is to induce a small amount of controlled skin damage with a needle, laser, acid, or by exfoliating or abrading the skin as in a massage routine, and then letting the body's healing mechanisms rebuild the skin area by itself.

Another method is to help the body with the use of skin repairing activators that boost the body's natural healing mechanisms and ensure an even better final result. This can be done by using products that incorporate natural bioactive ingredients that accelerate the process of skin remodeling. These ingredients also help activate your skin's metalloproteinases and eliminate damaged proteins such as deep scars created by overstretching or sun-damaged collagen and elastin fibers. At the same time they help activate the processes that shields your body against excessive breakdown of protein.

Injury Healing and Removal of Stretch Marks

Once an injury has appeared on the skin, both skin cells and connective tissue cells (fibroblasts) begin multiplying to repair the damage. The fibroblasts form a matrix upon which the skin cells can migrate to and fill. It is the balance between the rate of multiplication of fibroblasts versus skin cells that is important here. If the fibroblasts grow too quickly, they can form a dense network that is not as easily penetrated by the skin cells and that results in a noticeable scar. If the skin cells keep up with the fibroblasts, then little scar tissue is created and the skin has a more normal look after the injury has healed. Thus it is IMPERATIVE that skin healing is controlled and advances at a quick pace.

This is where natural ingredients play an important part. A facial massage method is planned to "remove" the dead skin layer by layer, at a speed your body can act upon while rebuilding itself with its own capabilities and applying the help of natural skin rejuvenation activators found in some products.

One of these ingredientes are the bioactive elements discovered in the snail's secretion that boost the skin's regenerative mechanisms

In addition to speeding up removal of damaged protein in the skin, natural ingredients improve the skin's natural regenerative responses by stimulating new capillary formation and thus carrying more oxygen through the blood to zones were it has stimulated an intensification of the biosynthesis of proteoglycans, collagen, elastin and the water holding glycosaminoglycans that supply your skin with enhanced pressure withstanding and stretching capacity.

Natural ingredients restore damaged cells and eliminate toxins, hair follicles are depurated of debris, germs are destroyed, new collagen, elasting and water holding cells are created. The Final Result: YOUR SKIN CLEAR OF STRETCH MARKS
