Stretch marks are tears in a skin matrix damaged by atrophy, a problem characterized by weakness, thinning, roughness, stiffness decrease in the size of tissues, lowered cellular proliferation, and reduced function, also named atrophia. What you see on the surface are scars left behind by the production of scar tissues buried within the skin. Those tears can not be prevented with mere moisturizers. In addition , the marks will not disperse with collagen boosters or by simply irritating or resurfacing the external layer of the epidermis; only by the activity of enzymes that 'digest' or dissolve scars and non-functional tissues and moreover reconstruct healthy tissues.

What regenerates stretch marks?

Stretch marks can be avoided by recovering skin's firmness, strength, flexibility, and thickness. This can be accomplished with the cooperation of biological compounds formed by glycans (complex sugar chains) and peptides, proteins and enzymes that promote to the orchestrated and systematic proliferation of all the necessary elements of healthy skin: collagen, elastin, proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans. Meanwhile treatment demands enzymes and messenger molecules to bridge communication between cells and permits them to distinguish scar tissues from functional healthy tissues and reduce them into their amino-acid components to then rebuild healthy tissues.

What would assist your body prevent or remove stretch marks?

The stretch mark treatment and prevention products you see these days are aimed at renewing skin matrix by stimulating the synthesis of collagen or elastin (e.g. those incorporating elements such as ascorbic acid, copper peptides, palmitoyl pentapeptide or oligopeptides).

Unfortunately, this method fails or falls short in most people affected by atrophic skin, whereby the dermis is too thin and not strong enough to support stretching beyond what it has been familiarized too, presumably due to the particular chemistry of skin changed by such condition and an disability to answer to matrix synthesis boosters.

This deficiency is possibly due to something essential missing in those treatments; an ingredient that would assist your body remove scar tissues and that would help prevent stretch marks by strengthening your skin and helping it becomes more resilient.

What Needs to be Present to Treat Stretch Marks?

Two things acting in concert. First, your body needs to be able to differentiate or identify scar tissue from the surrounding functional tissues in the skin matrix. Second, it must be able to reduce the proteins that those scar tissues are made off and separate their component amino-acids and use them to create new skin matrix elements.

This can only be achieving by the concerted action of two types of ingredients.

One is messenger molecules that are able to bridge communication between cells and allow them to differentiate scar tissues from functional healthy skin tissues. The other important ingredient are enzymes that both dissolve or 'digest' non functional cells, worn out or damaged skin cells AND trigger proliferation of new collagen and elastin fibers from within the skin matrix.

A Surprise from Nature's Wisdom

Fortunately, there is a complete & balanced solution for stretch mark prevention and treatment. One full of antioxidants, collagen, elastin boosters, enzymes and cell communicating ingredients that contribute to orchestrate the intricate balance between the degradation of cells that are dying periodically and/or cells that have become damaged by overstretching and the use of their constitutive amino-acids for the reproduction of new cells and all the needed structural elements of healthy skin.

It is not a chemical, man made drug, clever concoction of isolates, pharmaceuticals, herbs, moisturizing botanical oils, or extracts designed in a cosmetic industry. No. It is a natural compound of biologically active compounds that is already the most complete and balanced solution created by a living creature to protect and fully repair its skin when damaged. In addition, although this creature is in an evolutionary stage different from humans, nevertheless its skin is made of the same crucial elements we find in human skin: collagen, elastin, proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans.

Glycosaminoglycans are the water holding molecules in the skin responsible for providing binding, hydration, and swelling pressure to tissues facilitating them to withstand compression and stretching forces, which thus prevent tearing and scarring of the deep layers of the dermis.

The stretch mark treatment and prevention serum made with this natural, biological solution is natural, not some isolate derived or extracted from it. In addition, it is not only effective for preventing stretch marks but is also safe since it is totally compatible with living cells.

Treatment with the compound operates through a removal process known as hydrolysation. By persistent application on damaged tissues messenger molecules recognize damaged proteins and act in concert with enzymes that gently strip the skin to remove the build-up of scar tissues. These enzymes go to work like biological catalysts on each individual cell. They clean out the debris, open clogged pores, consume the dead material, and open up the vascular system to bring new oxygen into the cells. Moreover, they generate and speed proliferation of fibroblasts and all the structural components of healthy skin including the water holding molecules (proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans), collagen and elastin skin fibers, which finally are assembled in an orchestrated or orderly way, thus minimizing scars and marks.

The compound comes in two versions. One plain to prevent stretch marks, which is best to treat recently formed stretch marks. The second version is a home microdermabrasion cream which is embedded with micro-crystals to erode stretch marks that are older or rough on the surface as they help to break down or exfoliate damaged skin physically while massaging the crystals, and thereby facilitate the penetration of the cream deeper within the skin.
