Stretch Marks... topical suggestions and omnilux light therapy

How do scars and stretch marks form?

Scars and stretch marks develop as a result of disruption of the integrity of the dermis, which is the deeper layer of skin. The appearance of scars and stretch marks is due to lack of collagen and elastin which form strong bonds in order to maintain the skin's moisture and elasticity.. Stretch marks are similar to scars in that there is pulling of the skin, leading to small linear scars, but there is no actual separation of the skin as with true scar formation. Stretch marks appear after the skin is stretched excessively such as in pregnancy, spurt of growth during puberty, rapid weight gain or weight loss, and in body builders.

How does Omnilux treat scars & stretch marks?

The Omnilux Red is used to effectively remove stretch marks and scars with the use of professional ingredients which help to regenerate the skin's cells, therefore helping to reduce the appearance of scarring. The Red lamp is used to stimulate the concentrated ingredients to penetrate deeper into the skin so faster and more effective results can be seen. The treatment can be used on all skin types, there are no side effects and is absolutely painless. You can resume to your daily activities immediately, yet be sure to wear sunblock if the area is exposed to sun.






How long does each treatment last?

Depending on the size and location of the body to be treated, between 30-60 minutes.

How many treatments are needed?

The number of treatments varies on the type of the scars or stretch marks whether they are light or deep. An average of 8-10 treatments is recommended and is done twice a week to achieve faster results.

Keys to minimizing stretch marks.
1. Limit your weight gain. If you gain a hundred pounds, no cream will help you.
2. Having a mother who has no stretch marks helps, but if you don't, see 1 and 3.
3. Keep your skin healthy and moisturized. In addition to the belly, people also notice stretch marks on their breasts, buttocks, and inner thighs. Put this everywhere.
