How to Eliminate Stretch Marks

by Judy Aulin

There is an ingrediente found in Nature that contains natural activators of your own body's skin growth factors and organic enzymes used to prevent and treat stretch marks (stria atrophica, striae distensae). It eliminates or "digests" damaged skin cells, triggers the renewal of collagen and elastin and the production of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and proteoglycans from within the basal layers of the skin.

GAGs are complex polysaccharides (sugar sequences) that participate in the regulation of physiological mechanisms through their interactions with proteoglycans and with a wide selection of proteins. The lessening of glycosaminoglycans from the skin weakens the protective inter-cellular matrix and results in loose, inelastic and usually unfirm skin, both on the face and body.

GAGs and proteoglycans have an important water holding capability, occupy a large space in the extracellular matrix and fill most of the intercellular area between the collagen and elastin fibres. They play a critical role as shock absorbents and provide binding, hydrating and swelling pressure to tissues allowing them to withstand compressional forces and thus prevent tearing and scarring of the deep layers of the skin during overstretching due to body building (in association with steroids), growth spurts, pregnancy or over stretching by weight fluctuations. They also play a vital role in cell multiplication, migration and adhesion. Proteoglycans and GAGs are found to be prominent molecules during wound healing through their influential role in cell-cell and cell-matrix communication.

When injuries occur and the level of proteoglycans is not adequate aberrant scars form (keloid and hypertrophic scars). GAGs need to be over-synthesized during the early stage of wound healing and go back to to their original level in the remodelling phase. The combination of collagen and GAGs confers adequate strength to tissues and help them to become resistant to further enzymatic (collagenase) digestion.

A PRODUCT MADE WITH A ORGANIC INGREDIENT THAT WAS CREATED TO ELIMINATE STRETCHMARKS AND MUCH MORE. Its formula:

*Avoids stretch marks during pregnancy and can be applied safely while breastfeeding.

*Shrinks and can effectively fade away recently formed red stretch marks.

*Helps to quickly reduce old stretch mark scars when applied together with an exfoliating or abrasive home massage routine.

*Dissolves or "digests" scar tissues and helps the process of rebuilding new collagen and elastin into the skin, cumulative effects of new collagen and elastin are more evident every day and become permanent.

*Yields remarkable scar reduction in weeks even when applied on third degree skin burns & surgical scars.

*Alleviates and softens scar contractures when applied into skin after burn healing.

*Aids attachment of skin grafts and flaps and healing after scar revision.

*Avoids keloid scarring and hypertrophic scars, stops keloids itching.

*Accelerates keloid/raised scar reduction & can be applied below pressure/silicone sheets.

*Helps remove noticeable hypertrophic scars.

*Triggers rebuilding of microcirculation. Accelerates skin renewal after glycolic peel, scar subcision, laser surgery, micro-dermabrasion or needling.

*Recovers a younger skin by removing damaged proteins and replacing them with blemish free skin.

Now you can get rid of all those unattractive stretchmarks that showed-up after your last crash diet. Our site offers you useful information about the causes and solutions for your skin ailments, as well as products that will change your life.
