Prevent Stretch Marks During Pregnancy
The majority of people believe that the reason for stretch marks is because the skin is stretched beyond its capability and leaves tears or marks in the skin. Although this is true, thereò€™s more to it than that.The skin around the womenò€™s stomach is fragile to begin with and with rapid weight gain, the lower skin layers, which are even weaker, begin to rip apart. As with any injury the body encounters, the immune system jumps into action and begins to release a variety of chemicals to fight against intruders. Dermal inflammation is notable with the initial appearance of pink, lavender or purple shades in the damaged area.
The bodyò€™s immune system many times over produces these chemicals that were meant to kill bacteria or foreign material and end up damaging healthy skin cells in the process making the wound area larger.
With any injury, the body rushes to re-connect the broken tissues with both skin cells and connective tissue cells, a substance called fibroblasts. Fibroblasts have a net-like appearance where the skin cells can fill in the wound. There needs to be a balance between the rates of replication of fibroblasts versus skin cells so that there is minimal scarring. When the fibroblasts replicate too quickly, which is many times the case in order to quickly seal the wound and protect the body, a dense network of scar tissue is created.
Stretch Mark Treatment
While pregnant, which is the only time to prevent the damage of pregnancy stretch marks, you need to be careful what type of creams you use so that your unborn child is not affected. For example, the use of synthetic steroids to curb inflammation can harm the development of your baby. A credible product that prevents stretch marks needs to strengthen the skin, reduce inflammation and remove abnormal or damaged skin tissues without dangerous chemicals.
A natural product seems to be the best solution, especially if you use a product that includes a serum that is a complete solution for both stretch marks prevention and stretch marks treatment. A wonderful discovery found that the liquid secreted from the Helix Aspersa MÓ¼ller snails is saturated with antioxidants, collagen, elastin boosters, enzymes, and cell communicating ingredients that balance the deterioration of dead and/or damaged cells because of overstretching and the use of their amino-acids to construct new cells.
Because this tiny creature has the same structural elements you find in human skin (collagen, elastin and glycosaminoglycans), you can enjoy the same healing and renewal benefits as he does.
The Beauty of All-Natural
The molecules within the snailò€™s serum assures the body that it is being taken care of with the proper proteins, enzymes and nutrients necessary to quickly control bacteria or other hazardous matter. The immune system then doesnò€™t need to respond with its normal inflammatory over-reactions and can focus on creating healthy cells and skin.
They are also molecules that are able to protect the skin from overstretching by triggering new collagen and elastin formation and replenishing glycosaminoglycans to strengthen the skin"s structure and framework. The glycosaminoglycans are water holding molecules within the dermis that attach, hydrate and enable the tissues to withstand stressors and stretching, making the skin more flexible to withstand tearing and scarring of the deeper layers of the skin.
The serumò€™s enzymes dissolve and gently strip damaged cells and scar proteins. They go to work like biological scrubbers on each individual cell. They clean out the debris, open clogged pores, consume the dead material and open up the vascular system to bring new oxygen into the cells.
A stretch mark cream that uses this amazing biological ingredient can successfully prevent stretch marks in the most critical period when the skin is being stretched beyond its limits. Itò€™s not only effective in minimizing inflammation, breaking up scar tissue and fortifying the skin but also is completely safe to use during pregnancy and when breast-feeding. With the use of this incredible gift from nature, you can eliminate the worry of stretch marks and focus your energies on the arrival of your very one little gift.
