How Stretch Marks Are Eliminated

The removal or reduction of scars, lesions, and stretch mark removal depends on a process called "skin remodeling". The skin is designed to heal wounds quickly to prevent blood loss and infection. Scars are created from a quickly formed "collagen glue" that the body deposits into a damaged patch for protection and strength. In ideal skin healing, injured skin is quickly closed, then the healed area is slowly reconstructed to remove the extra collagen scars and blend the skin area into surrounding skin. Scar collagen is removed and replaced with a mixture of skin cells and invisible collagen fibers. This reconstruction may persist in the skin area for about 10 years.
In children, the remodeling pace is high and scars are usually quickly removed from injured skin areas. But as we reach adulthood, this pace slows down and tiny scars may remain for years. One way to speed up remodeling is to induce a small amount of controlled skin injury with a needle, laser, acid, or by exfoliating or rubbing the skin as in a massage treatment, and then letting the body's healing mechanisms rebuild the skin area by itself.
A second method is to help the body by applying skin repairing activators that increase the body's innate healing mechanisms and ensure an even better final result. This is done by using products that include biologically active ingredients that speed up the process of skin remodeling. These ingredients also help stimulate your skin's metalloproteinases and remove damaged proteins such as deep scars created by overstretching or sun-damaged collagen and elastin fibers. At the same time they help stimulate the processes that protects your body against exaggerated 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 create a framework upon which the skin cells can stick to and fill. It is the balance between the rate of multiplication of fibroblasts versus skin cells that is important here. If the fibroblasts replicate too quickly, they can create a dense network that is not as easily penetrated by the skin cells and that results in a large scar. If the skin cells keep up with the fibroblasts, then little scar tissue is created and the skin has a more normal appearance after the injury 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 method is planned 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 molecules discovered in the snail's secretion that increase the skin's rejuvenating mechanisms
In addition to speeding up elimination of damaged protein in the skin, natural ingredients improve the skin's natural rejuvenating responses by promoting new capillary generation and thus bringing more oxygen through the blood to areas were it has stimulated an increase of the biosynthesis of collagen, elastin, proteoglycans and the water holding glycosaminoglycans that provide your skin with improved pressure withstanding and stretching capability.
Natural ingredients restore damaged cells and eliminate toxins, hair follicles are cleaned of debris, germs are destroyed, new collagen, elasting and water holding cells are created. The Final Result: STRETCH MARK FREE SKIN.
