How Stretch Marks can be Removed
The removal or reduction of scars, lesions, and stretch mark removal depends on a mechanism called "skin remodeling". The skin is structured to heal wounds quickly to prevent blood loss and infection. Scars are manufactured from a rapidly formed "collagen glue" that the body deposits into a damaged patch for protection and strength. In ideal skin repair, wounded skin is rapidly closed, then the healed area is slowly reconstructed to eliminate the extra collagen scars and blend the skin area into nearby skin. Scar collagen is eliminated and replaced with a mixture of skin cells and invisible collagen fibers. This remodeling may continue in the skin area for about 10 years.
In children, the remodeling pace is high and scars are commonly rapidly erased from damaged skin areas. But as we reach adulthood, this pace diminishes and small scars may remain for years. One way to speed up remodeling is to induce a small amount of controlled skin damage with a needle, laser, acid, or by exfoliating or rubbing the skin as in a massage routine, and then letting the body's reparation processes rebuild the skin area by itself.
Another method is to help the body by applying skin repairing activators that increase the body's innate healing processes and ensure an even better final result. This is done by using products that incorporate biologically active ingredients that speed up the mechanism of skin remodeling. These ingredients also help activate your skin's metalloproteinases and eliminate damaged proteins such as deep scars formed by overstretching or sun-damaged collagen and elastin fibers. At the same time they help activate the mechanism that protects your body against excessive breakdown of protein.
Elimination of Stretch Marks and Wound Healing
Once a wound has appeared on the skin, both skin cells and connective tissue cells (fibroblasts) start multiplying to heal the damage. The fibroblasts form a framework upon which the skin cells can stick to and fill. It is the balance between the rate of replication of fibroblasts versus skin cells that is important here. If the fibroblasts replicate too quickly, they can form a dense network that is not as easily permeated 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 formed and the skin has a more healthy appearance after the wound has healed. Thus it is IMPERATIVE that skin healing is regulated and advances at a quick pace.
This is where natural ingredients play an important role. A facial massage routine is designed 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 biological skin rejuvenation activators found in some products.
One of these ingredientes are the bioactive elements found in the snail's mucin that increase the skin's regenerative processes
In addition to accelerating removal of damaged protein in the skin, natural ingredients improve the skin's natural regenerative responses by promoting new capillary generation and thus bringing more oxygen through the blood to areas were it has promoted an intensification of the biosynthesis of elastin, proteoglycans, collagen and the water holding glycosaminoglycans that supply your skin with enhanced pressure withstanding and stretching capacity.
With the application of products that contain natural ingredients damaged cells and toxins are eliminated, hair follicles are cleaned of debris, microbes are killed, new collagen, elasting and water holding cells are formed. The Final Result: YOUR SKIN FREE OF STRETCH MARKS.
