Microdermabrasion treatment for rough and old stretch marks.

Home Microdermabrasion
No skin preparation prior to the ultra-exfoliation with BIOSKINEXFOL is necessary. No pre-peel treatment with any cream or any other regime is necessary. First, clean your skin with an alcohol cleaner. Then just massage the BIOSKINEXFOL™ CREAM on clean skin, with either the tips of your fingers or with a dry and soft cloth. Simply apply a small amount to the skin and rub in a rotational pattern. Wipe the crystals away after 10 minutes.

For practical purposes, the area to be treated may be divided into squares of 10 × 10 cm (4 × 4 inches). The goal of the microdermabrasion is to remove the superficial layer of the epidermis and allow the cream to penetrate evenly. Your skin will become reddened.

Keratinocytes originate in the basal layer from the division of keratinocyte stem cells. They are pushed up through the layers of the epidermis, undergoing gradual differentiation until they reach the stratum corneum where they form a layer of dead, flattened, highly keratinized cells called squamous cells. This layer forms an effective barrier to the entry of foreign matter and infectious agents into the body and minimises moisture loss.

Keratinocytes are shed and replaced continuously from the stratum corneum. The time of transit from basal layer to shedding is approximately one month.

Corneocytes are cells derived from keratinocytes during the late stages of terminal differentiation of squamous epithelia. Corneocyte desquamation at the skin surface is a complex biologic event which is normally regulated for providing an inconspicuous shedding of single corneocytes.

Application of the cream
The microdermabrasion cream, infused with the same exfoliating crystals the pros use, can be applied with your finger tips or with a cloth or a handheld electric appliance (not sold by us) until redness appears. Leave the product on your skin for about 10 minutes. Then cleanse by brushing or wiping off the micro-crystals. Usually with a 1-2 minutes massage to an area 10x10 cm the exfoliating of cells will be enough. Note that the entire area must be treated and not only the depth of the stretch marks.

One noteworthy advantage is that there is no downtime after treatment. Microdermabrasion evolved from a technique called dermabrasion. Dermabrasion has been around for decades and was used to treat severe scarring by polishing the uppermost surface of the skin with an abrasive, metallic attachment. This highly effective technique requires recovery time, not to mention anesthesia. Microdermabrasion is gifted with a gentler, less invasive skin-resurfacing technology. And, there is no risk of dyschromia on darkly pigmented individuals.

The quantity to be applied is about 0.5 g per 10 × 10 cm area.

The cream will be the active factor at the depth of the stretch marks, while also acting on the normal dermis between the stretch marks. Both elements will create the improvement. The microdermabrasion ultra-exfoliation stimulates the fibroblastic reaction of the normal dermal cells located between the stretch marks.

The cream will be absorbed deep within the skin during the microdermabrasion massage.

Multiple treatments are required to improve stretch marks
Treatments should be repeated every 2-3 days. Superficial stretch marks will require a 2 months treatment to achieve about 50% to 80% improvement, whereas it may take as much as four or six months of treatments to significantly improve old, large and deep stretch marks.

General Guideline:
4 - 8 Weeks - for mild or minor scars or marks.
8 to 12 Weeks - for noticeable results for old and deep stretch marks.

Results are better and fewer treatments are needed with more recent and/or superficial stretch marks. It works as well for stretch marks seen during puberty or many years after pregnancy.

Before starting the treatment you should know that the final result of the appearance of your stretch marks will be an improvement but never a complete disappearance. So you have to make a final decision when to stop the treatment.

Advantages
BIOSKINEXFOL ™ treatment offers many advantages and stays within a safe zone.

The presumed mechanisms of action are reviewed below.

The microdermabrasion is performed to remove some of the corneocytes. These cells are responsible for the impermeability of the epidermis. Removing this layer allows the cream to penetrate.

The goal of the biological cream is to stimulate the fibroblasts of the healthy zones between stretch marks and act also at the depth of the stretch marks.

The glycoprotein enzyme and the moisturizing and lipid enhancers contained in the cream start a partial dissociation of the corneocytes and enhance the penetration of the product by diminishing the superficial tension. Breaking of the barrier function of the epidermis creates an immediate stimulation of the lipids, DNA and growth factors into the keratinocytes that will trigger their differentiation.

After the action of the abrasion and the cream on the healthy parts of the skin between the stretch marks, the cream also acts at the depth of the marks, stimulating re-epithelization and enhancing fibroblast production.

It is important to note that microdermabrasion is not a good choice for those individuals with the following conditions: rosacea, herpes, warts, eczema, lupus, and diabetes.
