![]() Stretch marks are tears in the skin matrix affected by atrophy, a condition characterized by weakness, thinning, roughness, stiffness, decrease in the size of tissues, diminished cellular proliferation, and decreased function, also called atrophia. What you see on the surface are marks left behind by the formation of scar tissues deep within the skin. Those tears can not be prevented with mere moisturizers, and the marks will not disappear with collagen boosters or by just abrading or resurfacing the outer layer of the skin; only by the action of enzymes that “digest” or dissolve scars and non-functional tissues and simultaneously rebuild healthy tissues.
Stretch marks can be prevented by regaining skin’s firmness, strength, suppleness, and elasticity. This can be achieved with the help of biological molecules formed by glycans (complex sugar chains) and peptides, proteins and enzymes that promote the orchestrated and orderly proliferation of all the structural elements of healthy skin: collagen, elastin and glycosaminoglycans.
While treatment of existing stretch marks needs enzymes and messenger molecules to bridge communication between cells and allow them to differentiate scar tissues from functional healthy tissues and degrade them into their amino-acid components to then rebuild healthy tissues.
