One of women’s dilemmas is stretch marks. This includes expectant and post-pregnancy mothers, anyone who has experienced excessive weight gain or loss. Stretch marks are caused when the elastic fibers that bind the skin (elastin & collagen) are overstressed, resulting in small tears in the form of stretch marks. They are actually made up of scar tissue that results when the skin’s ability to expand is exceeded.
The appearance of stretch marks may vary. When they first show up, they may look reddish or purplish in color and appear slightly indented into the skin, with a noticeably different texture. In many cases, stretch marks may fade over time to a more silver-white color; however, their texture normally remains fairly consistent. Because scar tissue tends to have less melanin (pigment), tanning may make them become more visible as they may not darken with the surrounding skin.
There are several treatment options for stretch marks. The degree of success with any treatment will be impacted by your age, your skin tone and even your diet. The most commonly used and cheapest is using creams like TriLASTIN-SR® that can help provide the skin with the essential elements it needs to not only help maintain its maximum elasticity, which helps to prevent stretch marks, but to recover from existing stretch mark scarring. It is a comprehensive compound of peptides, proteins, anti-oxidants and humectants, specifically formulated to work in synergy. It is proven bioactive components can substantially reduce the depth and length of deeply furrowed stretch mark tissue as well as the characteristic discoloration associated with it.
