There are certain events in our lives that can leave a mark on our memories - but physical marks are something we would normally wish to remove.
Scars and stretch marks resulting from accident, pregnancy, child birth, rosacea, weight loss, acne or from required or elective surgery can affect us and reduce our self esteem.
Scars are tissue that grow in the place of “normal” skin after incisions or lacerations. They are a natural biological process the skin undergoes during and after healing. To repair damaged dermal layers, the skin requires adequate collagen fibers.
Collagen fibers are made up of protein which is naturally produced by the body. Overproduction of collagen can cause problems such as hypertrophic scars - red raised lumps within the wound area - and keloid scars which are serious since these may grow indefinitely and need serious treatment later on.
Technology(ies) today offer several solutions to scar and stretch mark treatment
Procedural laser technique is popularly used in acne scar treatments. It is considered effective, yet clinical cost is quite high and often requires multiple time-consuming and expensive treatments. A safe and effective alternative is in-home laser therapy with products such as the Beurer® VLF40 Soft Laser.
Creams and lotions, however, are still the safest and most effective long-term alternative you have for scar removal – yet require more time and discipline.
Making its way in the market today is the STM Scar Cream®. Formulated to treat scars and stretch marks, it is developed with complex polypeptides, Emu Oil, Matrixyl® 2000 and a potent Omega blend - which all work together to help eliminate scars and stretch marks by encouraging normal cell development.
Matrixyl® 3000 is a polypeptide that acts as a strong topically-applied collagen stimulant. It penetrates the skin to repair and promote normal growth at the cellular level. It works on both wrinkles and scars. Its secret is the production of collagen that aids in healing skin disorders.
Peptides are short proteins which have are used in many ways by our body (one of which is to protect us from invading microbes that may cause infection.) Emu oil, on the other hand, has been used by the natives of Australia to treat cuts, bruises, burns and other skin problems.
Dermatologists acknowledge the rejuvenating property of Emu Oil and know it can effectively
rebuild damaged skin tissues. Emu Oil also contains the essential Omega 3 and 6, as well as Oleic Acid - Omega 9. (Oleic acid is a skin-cell regenerator capable of reducing redness, and irritation and repair damaged skin.)
Working together, the ingredients of STM Scar Cream® deliver fast treatment to scars ad stretch marks. Regeneration of new skin cells and adequate collagen production is the key to reduce if not remove scars.
