Microdermabrasion may be a helpful procedure to consider for stubborn, older white stretch marks.

Microdermabrasion is a procedure where tiny particles "sand" or "polish" the skin and gradually remove scarred or discolored epidermal tissue. Microscopic studies have supported the effectiveness of microdermabrasion. This procedure is performed in a variety of settings from dermatologist and plastic surgery offices to some spas and high end aesthetician clinics, or you can try it yourself with our BIOSKINCARE™ CREAM WITH MICRODERMABRASION CRYSTALS = BIOSKINEXFOL™.

BIOSKINCARE Cream is a natural remedy for the prevention and removal of stretch marks and is recommended to accelerate skin renewal and rebuilding of healthy collagen skin cells even after microdermabrasion, laser resurfacing or harsh peels.

Methods that mildly abrade skin such as microdermabrasion and subcision (needling) are useful in speeding scar reduction in concert with BIOSKINCARE CREAM. Some old scars are very hard and tough and physical breakdown allows the enzymes in the cream to dissolve the scars more quickly. For raised or flat scars and for rough stretch marks, microdermabrasion works well. For depressed scars, such as pitted acne scars, subcision with needles is often used by estheticians to break up the deeply buried scar tissue.

Skin Remodeling is the Key to Scar Reduction
The removal or reduction of scars, lesions, and stretch marks from the skin depends on a process called "skin remodeling". The skin is designed to heal wounds quickly to prevent blood loss and infection. Scars are manufactured from a rapidly formed "collagen glue" that the body deposits into an injured area for protection and strength. In ideal skin healing, wounded skin is rapidly closed, then the healed area is slowly reconstructed to remove the residual collagen scars and blend the skin area into nearby skin. Scar collagen is removed and replaced with a mixture of skin cells and invisible collagen fibers.

This skin remodeling may continue in a skin area for ten years. In children the remodeling rate is high and scars are usually rapidly removed from injured skin areas. But as we reach adulthood, this rate diminishes and small scars may remain for years. One way to accelerate remodeling is to induce a small amount of controlled skin damage with a needle, laser, microdermabrasion, scrubbing massage or other means, and then let the body repair processes rebuild the skin area. A second method is to use skin healing accelerators to increase the body's natural healing processes to obtain an even better final results.

The best stretch mark creams are not the ones that are rich in elastin and collagen, but those that trigger the generation of collagen, elasting and the water holding capacity of healthy skin. Collagen is the building block of skin, and elastin is the protein which gives skin its elasticity. By increasing the levels of these proteins in your skin from within, not by trying to add them from the outside, you can speed up cell rejuvenation and thicken the epidermal layer. Stretch marks will look better, and they will feel better to the touch.

BIOSKINCARE™ CREAM is made with a complex compound of powerful biologically protein enzymes, copper peptides, proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans. The compound acts as a biological activator of both the elimination of dead and damaged skin cells and the renewal of healthy collagen and elastin proteins within your skin.

With repeated use, twice a day, BIOSKINCARE™ "digests" damaged cells, gently dissolves skin lesions, reduces scars and removes flaws. It also destroys pathogens and creates an environment that triggers the regeneration of normal collagen and a healthy skin. Nourishes the skin and protects it from oxidative damage due to free radicals. Improves elasticity, increases density, moisture retention capacity and skin's firmness and leaves it baby soft and soothed.

Scrubbing massage routine: When using the cream for old and deep stretch marks, at night, two or three times a week (not more), you can also take a relaxing bath and apply a strong massage with a wooden massager and a body scrub to help exfoliate dead cells at a quick pace. Exfoliation will help remove the dull skin and the dead cells in the scars that show as stretch marks, but only if the skin has been sufficiently loosened by the bath. Apply the body scrub and some moisturizer of your choice (any Aloe Vera Gel or Lubriderm Cream) on the area to be massaged with the wooden massager. Once your skin is reddened apply BIOSKINCARE™ CREAM to speed skin recovery, an orderly layout of new collagen and elastin fibers and the build up of glycosaminoglycans, the molecules that restore moisture capacity and allow your skin to withstand compression forces and avoid stretch marks.
