Different Reasons Why Abrasion Methods Fail to Remove Stretch Marks

BIOSKINCARE is a valid alternative method to treat new and existing stretch marks. And it can be applied by expecting women for it is a pure natural product and does not produce undesired reactions. It's a natural mixture possessing glycosaminoglycans, complex sugar chains bound to proteins that promotes healthy skin remodeling and improves the appearance of blemishes together with stimulating strength, resilient and flexibility, so the skin is ready to extent when is necessary without leaving any trace, wound or marks on the dermis.

Dermabrasion is an abrasive treatment used to remove the superficial damaged skin layer with a diamond fraise. This method is performed superficially. If carried out more deeply, it can produce a condition called dyschromia (patchy pigment), some mild scarring or even rupture of the skin at the depth of stretch marks, making things worse.

Microdermabrasion is a technique that evolved from dermabrasion and includes blasting micro-crystals to abrade or sand the superficial layer of skin. It is good for rough superficial or uneven skin texture, as it smoothes it out, but tends to give irregular results. It may be unpleasant and if done too deep, scarring is likely to occur.

Lasers Methods that get rid of the superficial layer of skin by burning it but are not that effective with old stretch marks, quite contrary they only work for new developed stretch marks. Still, even though the scars might be pink or red, studies reporting the use of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and Pulsed Dye Laser (PDL) treatments emitting 585 nanometers (nm) of light conclude that after five sessions the improvement shown in the length, depth, and coloration of stretch marks is at most, moderate.

Even if this type of laser carries a low chance of side effects and complications when operated at proper treatment parameters and time intervals, it is not recommended to use on darker skin tones (including African-American) because of the risk of hyper pigmentation.

Cost for a series of laser treatments can run upwards of $2,500 depending on how your skin reacts and what the average fees are in your area.

Superficial Peels are generally performed with glycolic acid. The practice of glycolic acid treatment over stretch marks is disappointing. This is not unexpected as alpha-hydroxy acids act only superficially, principally by lessening the bonds of the stratum corneum cells.

Medium Depth Peels with standard Trichloracetic acid (TCA) at 35% to 50% (mass per volume) applied by a dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon, qualified in the use of this type of peel provide very irregular results. The side effects can be scarring and dark spots. A benefit of TCA peels (and the reason it can help improve the appearance of stretch marks) is their skin-tightening effect.

Deep Peels with phenol are extremely dangerous for extra facial dermal tissue because of their tendency for life threatening complications; local scarring and enduring hypochromia (a decrease in the amount of hemoglobin found in red blood cells) are just some of the side effects.

Topical Creams for Treatment and/or Prevention of Stretch Marks
They differ from those with ascorbic acid (10%) or tretinoin (0.05% tretinoin emollient cream - trans retinoic acid cream) to ointments with glycolic acid; biological moisturizing oils, like Emu oil, Rose Hip Oil; Olive Oil and Squalene and other of its derivatives, Cocoa Butter, Aloe Vera and Shea Butter. All those have been used to supposedly treat or prevent stretch marks.

Some creams also contain Vitamin E, although recent studies have now shown that vitamin E does nothing to help a scar. Biological Oils (Rose Hip Oil or Emu Oil), Plant Oils, Cocoa Butter and Shea Butter do enhance the lipid content of the skin, increase water retention, and soften the skin texture for a while. Aloe Vera does have some anti-inflammatory properties and may also diminish the redness of newly formed stretch marks, but that is about it.

Various companies claim their products are superior for unlike other's they do not include water. Yes, right, theirs contain mainly Aloe Vera gel which is principally water.

Dry skin is not a cause of stretch marks. Rather stretch marks evolve far below the skin's surface due to extreme strain, stress, and trauma that subsequently breaks down the skin's support structure. No moisturizer in the world can impede that kind of injury and damage to the skin from taking place.

Topical Creams for Treatment in Combination with Chemical Peels

Treatments that combine harsh glycolic acid peels and tretinoin or L-ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), or combinations with lactic acid, citric acid or some other such hydroxyl acids have been tested, albeit only on very few subjects: 10 patients in one of the few studies published, according to pubmed.gov http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?CMD=search&DB=pubmed)

The study says both tretinoin and L-ascorbic acid when used daily for 12 weeks after glycolic peeling -each and every day- can help with newly formed stretch marks a little, although it may have detrimental side effects such as redness and scaling.

Now, tretinoin is not for women who are pregnant or about to get pregnant for it may provoke damage to the growing child in mom's belly, and is also not recommended for mothers that are nursing their baby.

What are These Studies Finding?

"Elastin content within the reticular and papillary dermis can increase with topical 20% glycolic acid combined with 0.05% tretinoin emollient cream therapy; increased epidermal thickness and decreased papillary dermal thickness is found in treated stretch marks when compared with untreated stretch marks; combined epidermal and papillary dermal thickness in stretch marks treated with topical regiments approaches that of normal skin."

All right! The epidermis gets thicker with those after the professional procedures: 20% glycolic peels every single day (applied by a skilled nurse) followed by the topical utilization of a skin regenerating ingredient: tretinoin or ascorbic acid. Now, what do they do to existing tears -those showing up as stretch marks? Well, since the dermis gets thicker their appearance diminishes a little.

Read That Again: what may reduce a little is their appearance, according to the subjects studied and the "researchers involved", not the actual scar tissues within.

Let's Face it. In terms of treatment to existing tears to the dermis those methods do nothing. In terms of prevention, they do not possibly do enough of what is absolutely necessary. The very best they can do, if and only if the ingredients are in enough concentration in the products and if they are applied with discipline at least two to three times a day, is to enhance the skin barrier's lipid content and seal in water for a few hours after application. They may also thicken and/or plump up the epidermis making it a little softer and may make the striped lines that remain in the dermis less noticeable for a short while.

So, truthfully, when you use these products to treat stretch marks, diminishment, if any, is almost imperceptible. Some find a little improvement, especially in newly formed stretch marks, but for a majority they make no difference.

A 100% natural product with glycosaminoglycans, a complex sugar chain, that contribute and stimulates healthy skin remodeling by enhancing the natural internal and external cellular connection, It contains enzymes that dissolve changed tissues, promoting the recovery of old stretch marks and giving firmness, elasticity and healthy appearance of the dermis. It basically renews the skin from within.

BIO STRETCHMARK CREAM for Scars and Stretch Marks

Recommended for the treatment of stretch marks and scars. It is not recommended for facial application because it contains a higher content of our biological active ingredient, Helix Aspersa Muller Glycoconjugates than do BIOSKINCARE or BIOSKINCLEAR. This difference results in a thicker cream that leaves behind a thin protective film on the applied area. This thicker consistency is beneficial for occluding the area and keeping in moisture for a longer period of time, making the cream more effective in dissolving scars. However, its one disadvantage is that it is incompatible with make-up and may leave a thin milky looking film on your face that will quickly flake-off creating an unappealing effect.

Ultra exfoliate rough scars and dull skin with BIOSKINEXFOL

Home microdermabrasion cream. Contains the same natural ingredients in BIOSKINCARE but infused with micro-crystals so that you may rub it with your finger tips to remove old, hard, and tough scars or stretch marks by a physical breakdown of the scar tissues. Best also for oily skin and aged skin, actinic keratosis scales and pitted acne scars. Not for keloids and not if your skin is still fragile (use BIOSKINCARE for a few months first to strengthen your skin). The compounded action of the physical abrasion and the enzymes in the cream liquefy damaged proteins more thoroughly helping to release amino-acids to aid in rebuilding damaged tissues quickly. Results are not only immediate, but compound over time and do not trigger inflamm-aging of delicate skin tissues.
