Collagen for stretch marks is becoming an increasingly popular solution in aesthetic medicine, due to the unique properties of this natural skin builder. Its introduction through injection helps reduce various imperfections, including characteristic streaks, stripes, and lines. These issues can occur on many areas of the body, but typically appear on the thighs, arms, abdomen, hips, or buttocks.
When is the best time to use collagen for stretch marks?
Collagen for stretch marks is particularly recommended when this type of changes appear on the skin, when it is subjected to intense stretching in a short period of time. This applies to patients after sudden weight loss, bodybuilders, those taking oral steroids, as well as pregnant women. Collagen is naturally produced in the body by fibroblasts, and its mature fibers form a spatial lattice in the extracellular matrix. They allow for tissue integrity, but excessive stretching can cause tearing, leading to skin damage and the appearance of scars, or stretch marks. Initially, they appear red or purple, which fades over time, becoming silvery-beige, remaining resistant to tanning.
Collagen mesotherapy procedure
Collagen mesotherapy involves the pinpoint injection delivery of a preparation directly to selected areas of the skin with specific needs. Therapy using type I tropocollagen allows for the delivery of a substance to the skin whose structural composition is almost identical to collagen produced by the human body. This, in turn, eliminates the risk of potential complications. Procedures with type I tropocollagen should be performed at individually chosen time intervals, allowing for more optimal tissue stimulation and proper skin rebuilding in areas affected by stretch marks. In addition to pure type I tropocollagen, the injectable preparation contains many other active substances with desired properties. In the case of stretch marks, antioxidants, vitamins, and mineral compounds are particularly valued ingredients.
