Stretch marks arise when skin is overextended. This often occurs during pregnancy or during vigorous muscle building. Alpha or beta hydroxy acids and copper peptides often slowly fade the marks but this a slow procedure and may take 4 to 8 months for a good cosmetic effect. However, the method is low cost, painless, and does not cause further scarring.

Wonderful! Finally, all of the good results with none of the bad. Worked well on my stretch marks.

This is my before pic of my 11 year old stretch marks, TCA peel burn marks included. I am starting tonight on a regimen of Glycolic peels and CP serum 2x a day. Then moving up to a stronger SRCP as soon as it comes in the mail.

15 DAYS AFTER STARTING SRCPs

This is after using CP serum 2x a day for 3 days then TriReduction 2x a day for 11 days. I did not notice improvement until I saw this pic, but you can see noticeable difference in the burn marks as well as tightness in the belly button area I think. - T.C.

30 DAYS AFTER STARTING SRCPs

My regimen has been TriReduction in the AM and Exfol Cream then SuperCop in the PM for the past 2 weeks. Am switching to SuperCop2x in the PM and exfol in the AM. - T.C.

30 DAYS AFTER STARTING SRCPs and continuing...

This is after using TriReduction in the AM and Exfol and SuperCop in the PM" - T.C. / Client continues on her regimen and as she does so, we look forward to posting her final results.

MOST RECENT UPDATE (As of May 2006)

I can still see that there is a huge improvement...the treatment has been sporadic with the Super Cop 2X.

I have used the Copper-Peptides mixed with Retin A ( .025) on newly formed stretch marks and they disappeared. I can get retin A over the counter in the country where I live)...
Thanks.

I am 32 years old and, after loosing a great deal of weight, developed severe stretch marks and loose skin over my body. For six month now, I have been applied TriReduction over my entire body every night and did the same in the morning with a 15% glycolic acid from Neostrata. This vigorous procedure left my skin somewhat sore and irritated but there has been a 30 to 40% reduction in the the depth and width of the stretch marks. There also has been a marked increase in the elasticity of my skin and much of the loose and hanging skin is gone.

These products saved me from having to have surgery to remove the excess skin. The skin on my breasts also tightened up - not as much as a breast lift - but there is definitely more bounce now.

I have been using your TriReduction P&R with retinol and hydroxy acid on my 30-year-old stretch marks (which were extensive and severe) and some four-year old scars from plastic surgery (a breast lift and abdominoplasty) since September. I'm also having microdermabrasion treatments (since June on the stretch marks and since March on the surgical scars). The use of your excellent products has really accelerated the improvements in the stretchmarks. They're flattening, filling, shrinking, unraveling, and even in some places disappearing. I have hopes they may all be gone one day.

Thanks, and thank you so much for your wonderful products.

P&R Classic (P&R # 2) -- wonderful! Finally, all of the good results with none of the bad. The one with retinol and lavender (P&R # 3) made me break out but worked well on my stretch marks. The one with lavender and less retinol (P&R #4) didn't do a thing. This one is menthol (but less than the original formula) and has less herbal fragrance (which also may have been contributing to the breakouts.

Skin Biology comment - People vary greatly in the response to the different versions. The stronger (retinol) versions work very well on the face of many people but not with others. Many people demand P&R # 3.

The TriReduction P&R with Retinol and the hydroxy acid definitely improved my stretch marks. They are slowly fading away.

ZH, Florida

For 3 months I have been using P&R #4 and a hydroxy acid on stretch marks from a pregnancy 10 years ago. Every night before bed, I put a covering of P&R and hydroxy acid on the scars. They are reducing and even my husband has noticed the difference. Previously I tried about everything including vitamin serums and cocoa butter but nothing had improved the skin.

With these products, I have had no irritation, no burning, and no rash - yet the scars are diminishing.

I can't say how much I am pleased with your products. I had stretch marks from two pregnancies and tried everything to
remove them. Finally I tried the P&R3 and hydroxy acid which has nearly cleared up the marks.

I can't get over the difference in the scars from the stretch marks and my husband agrees.

I just wanted to tell you that the BioHeal and a hydroxy acid did a great job of removing my stretch marks four months after the baby came. I had been planning on laser treatments but thought I would give your ideas a try and it worked great.

Thanks again

When I was young, I grew too fast and developed stretch marks on my legs. After two months of the TriReduction Combo they are a noticeably smaller.

AM, Texas

I'm calling to order more TriReduction P&R. I have been using it on stretch marks and it seems to be improving their appearance. I know it will take more time but things are going in the right direction.

Removal of Stretch Marks

Stretch marks are the result of thinning of the collagen bundles and loss of elasticity and often accompany pregnancy, obesity, and weight lifting. During pregnancy, stretch marks usually develop about 6 months into the pregnancy that begin as as purplish or reddish marks that eventually form shallow, white scars on the abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, and breasts. Athletes may develop stretch marks after exceptionally vigorous exercise.

Stretch marks occur in the dermis, the middle skin layer which contains the skin's elastic proteins that allowing the skin to stretch and return to its original shape. Continuous stretching of this layer over an extended period breaks down the elasticity of the skin. The body tries to reinforce the over-stretched and weakened layers of skin increasing collagen fiber production in that affected area, which produces the little scars called stretch marks.

Many people have reported removing old stretch marks with hydroxy acids and strong copper peptides.

Retinoic Acid Treatment of Stretch Marks

Topical tretinoin (retinoic acid or retin-A) reduces stretch marks. Archives of Dermatology. Sewon Kang, M.D., from the Department of Dermatology, University of Michigan Medical Center, Ann Arbor, and colleagues studied the effects of topical 0.1 percent tretinoin cream on 22 patients with established stretch marks.

The individuals in the study had established stretch marks that had evolved into white scarlike lesions. Ten were treated with the tretinoin cream and 12 applied a placebo on the effected areas. After two months, most patients treated with tretinoin showed significant reduction in the severity of their stretch marks compared with those who received the inactive cream. After six months, 80% of the tretinoin-treated patients had marked improvement 8% placebo-treated patients.

The length and width of the stretch marks treated with tretinoin decreased by 14 and eight percent respectively, while the control group's placebo-treated lesions increased in length by 10 percent and in width by 24 percent. Half of the tretinoin treated patients experienced side effect such as dry and itchy skin.

Many of our clients combine the use of our SRCPs and retinoic acid for scar reduction.

 

 

 

 

 

Laser Removal of Stretch Marks

David McDaniel, M.D., of the Eastern Virginia Medical School has recently reported success with lasers to remove stretch marks after pregnancy. He said, "The laser passes through the upper layer of the skin leaving it undamaged and then triggers new elastin production in the deeper layer ...which causes the stretch marks to soften or disappear".

He used a pulsed-dye yellow beam laser that causes the skin to bruise for a couple of weeks. The laser removes new pink stretch marks in one treatment but if the scar is old and deep, multiple treatments are required. Lasers were previously tried on stretch marks years ago but the laser settings were not correct and the patients weren't followed for a long enough time. In some persons, scar improvement requires several months to become apparent and the healing process can take as long as six months.

The laser treatment has no side effects and costs about $300 a session. About 200 centers in the USA use lasers to remove stretch marks. For more information contact the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery at 1-800-441-2737.

 

If you have very sensitive skin, always start with our mildest copper peptide: Super GHK-Copper Cream.

It takes about a month to start noticing an improvement. But really good results take several months. We have had reports from women that they removed the appearance of stretch marks of pregnancy that were up to 30 years old.

Some clients work up to twice a day applications, applying LacSal Cream (waiting 30 minutes) then applying Super Cop in the morning and repeating this step in the evening. You can use the copper peptide products also in the morning but because of the blue color, most people prefer evening use.

Typical results take approximately 4-6 weeks of consistent use. The key is to keep working on the stretch mark.
