Stria Labs: Stretch Mark Cream

What are stretch marks?

Stretch marks (striae) are indented streaks on the body that typically appear on the stomach, breasts, hips or bottom. They occur when the dermis (the thickest layer of skin) has to stretch quickly due to rapid weight gain or a growth spurt.

They're very common in pregnant women, especially during the last trimester, but they can occur anytime the skin becomes overstretched, such as rapid growth spurts during puberty or when bodybuilding.

What is the best time to treat stretch marks?

There are two forms of stretch marks: striae rubrae and striae albae. Striae rubrae are considered the early form, which are often red, sometimes slightly raised and don’t recur. Over time these stretch marks lighten and develop a pale, wrinkled appearance known as striae albae, which also don’t recur but are permanent.

Striae rubrae responds better to treatment, so it is recommended to treat stretch marks when they first appear.

We recommend using this product to help reduce pregnancy stretch marks. This product can also be used while pregnant and breastfeeding.

How to Use

• Application: Apply the cream to your stretch marks and gently massage in a circular motion until fully absorbed. You may start to feel a warming sensation.

• Frequency: Use twice daily for 12 weeks to achieve maximum benefits.


 

Expected Results

Many customers report noticeable improvements in as little as 2-4 weeks. However, for optimal results, we recommend continuing treatment for the full 12 weeks. During this period, Stria Labs' hero ingredient, TECA, has been proven to reduce the size and colour of stretch marks by up to 40%.

Healing Process:

• Initial Weeks: The cream works to soothe damaged skin cells.

• Subsequent Weeks: It stimulates fibroblast migration to repair collagen and elastin fibres, leading to re-plumped and re-densified skin.

• Immediate Effects: For those seeking quicker results, the cream is clinically proven to temporarily fade and plump the appearance of stretch marks, while firming and tightening the skin in as little as 10-30 minutes. However, this effect will wash off.


 

By following these guidelines, you can achieve smoother, more even-toned skin.

Please note that Stria Labs do not use any ingredients which are classified as unsafe for women to use while pregnant or breastfeeding. However, it's always best to seek advice from your doctor or health care practitioner.
