For many years, scars and stretchmarks have been a challenge to treat. They are visible to the naked eye and are often camouflaged in one way or another. Whether covered up with make-up and concealer, or just clothing in some cases, they are generally just not appealing to the eye.

The skin is the largest organ of the body and the most exposed. Our bodies are mobile, and accidents are bound to happen causing a tear or cut in the epidermal/dermal layers of the skin. The body’s main job is to protect us, and a scar formation is exactly just that, a protection mechanism. Scars are basically growth of tissue, marking the spot where skin has healed after an injury. This wonderful protection-mechanism unfortunately leaves a permanent mark. What’s great and comforting is that this bump can be resurfaced to look as close to non-existent as possible. All thanks to science and technology.

Stretchmarks on the other hand are a type of scar that develops when our skin stretches or shrinks quickly, and pregnancy is a classic example of that. This abrupt change causes the collagen and elastin, which supports the structure of our skin to rupture. Now, let us keep in mind that some individuals are prone to developing stretchmarks, while others are not. Good news is these can be treated as well.

Microneedling and Meso therapy are a few of the most effective methods for the treatment of scars and stretchmarks. With the use of meso solutions such as the HA Double Repair, not only is the skin benefiting from the intentional cause of injury to the skin to promote collagen-remodelling, but it also opens micro-channels for the delivery of low and high molecular weight Hyaluronic acid. A non-crosslinked HA that is repairing to the tissue, accelerates skin cell renewal, aids in cell proliferation, and changes the skin’s extra-cellular matrix. It is a high viscosity solution that contains two types of HA with a concentration of 25mg/ml.

When targeting stretchmarks combined with loose and saggy skin, often experienced after weight-loss and pregnancy, the HA Double Repair can be mixed with LiftingZon to achieve that firm and tight appearance on the skin. It contains DMAE and Organic Silicon which have an immediate firming effect. Promotes the regeneration of fibroblasts and aids in skin recovery.

This combination can also be injected directly in a meso therapy treatment using an injector such as the Dermajet.
