A Biological Solution for Stretch Marks
When treatment is neglected pregnancy, body building, fast weight gain and even fast growth become a common problem that causes stretch marks.
Stretch marks are generated by abnormal hormone activity. You don't need to be pregnant or be overweight to get them. As a matter of fact, it is a very common skin condition, but most people who have them are embarrassed and try to keep them to themselves.
* Pregnancy
* Sudden growth spurts
* Quick weight variations
* Long term nutrient deficiency
* Unexpected change in physical or environmental conditions
* Certain medication can also cause stretch marks, especially steroids analogous medications.
The real problem is that the body processes the wrong information regarding skin development. This causes skin to produce insufficient quantities of collagen and elastin, which conform the skin's connective tissue. When connective tissues are not strong enough to endure over-stretching they break apart and stretch marks appear.
Although in several cases they seem to simply appear overnight this isn't entirely true. They are born from deep skin layers and gradually progress to the skin's surface.
Stretch marks happen to fat and thin, young and old, men and women. In most cases they don't cause harm or irritate the skin so a lot of people don't even acknowledge them until it's too late to do anything about it.
In the beginning stage of development they are a pinkish or faint red color. The pinkish coloring is caused by micro blood vessels breaking open and bleeding. These scars generally evolve to a pale silvery white which is the final step of their developement.
Most people believe that stretch marks are not curable because they are so difficult to erase. As a matter of fact, most doctors will even tell you: just live with them, they are not curable. But why would they say something like that if there is a way to treat them? Maybe they just don't care enough or maybe in a doctor's eyes stretch marks are not a serious problem because they don't really cause any real physical discomfort
Stretch marks are fractional thickness 'tears' within the skin, meaning that they are basically subdural scars. The best stretch mark product isn't one rich in elastin and collagen, but one that triggers the generation of collagen, elastin and the water holding ability of healthy skin. Collagen is the skin's building block, and elastin is the protein which gives skin its elasticity. By elevating the levels of these proteins in your skin, from the inside out , you can reinforce the epidermal layer.
