Reducing
the Appearance of Stretch Marks
Stretch marks arise when skin is overextended. This often occurs during pregnancy or during vigorous muscle building. Alpha or beta hydroxy acids and copper peptides often slowly fade the marks but this a slow procedure and may take 4 to 8 months for a good cosmetic effect. However, the method is low cost, painless, and does not cause further scarring.
For use on stretch marks, the best creams are Super Cop Cream or TriReduction Cream with Retinol and LacSal Cream but CP Serum and Exfol Serum or Exfol Cream also may be used. To use this method to reduce stretch marks, Use the LacSal Cream in the morning and Super Cop or TriReduction Cream with Retinol in the evening.
It takes about a month to start noticing an improvement. But really good results take several months. We have had reports from women that they removed the appearance of stretch marks of pregnancy that were up to 30 years old.
The Method by the Numbers
1. In the morning, apply the LacSal Cream 10% hydroxy acid / or Exfol Cream 2% hydroxy acid product to the stretch mark.
2. You can apply more hydroxy acid during the day if you have no irritation. But reduce the amount if your skin become irritated.
3. In the evening, use either Super Cop Cream or TriReduction Cream on the stretch mark.
4. The key is to keep working on the stretch mark.
5. You can use the copper peptide products also in the morning but because of the blue color, most people prefer evening use.

If This Does Not Work Well Enough For You
Stronger hydroxy acid will speed the procedure but also increase the chances of irritation or chemical burns. LacSal Cream and LacSal Serum is a 10% hydroxy acid (8.5% lactic - 1.5% salicylic) formulated at pH 3.2. Some customers and clinics use stronger salicylic acids or 30% to 70% hydroxy acids to loosen the scar tissue then apply the copper peptide product.
Such stronger hydroxy acids can be obtained from Estheticians and Dermatologists at Spas and Clinics or from Resellers.
Most of the following customers used our weaker creams for scar reduction. The new TriReduction Creams and CP Serum are even more effective. Some comments have been edited for length and clarity.
This is my before pic of my 11 year old stretch marks, TCA peel burn marks included. I am starting tonight on a regimen of Glycolic peels and CP serum 2x a day. Then moving up to a stronger SRCP as soon as it comes in the mail. - T.C.
15 DAYS AFTER STARTING SRCPs
This is after using CP serum 2x a day for 3 days then Trireduction 2x a day for 11 days. I did not notice improvement until I saw this pic, but you can see noticeable difference in the burn marks as well as tightness in the belly button area I think. - T.C.
30 DAYS AFTER STARTING SRCPs
My regimen has been TriReduction in the AM and Exfol Cream then SuperCop in the PM for the past 2 weeks. Am switching to SuperCop2x in the PM and exfol in the AM. - T.C.
30 DAYS AFTER STARTING SRCPs and continuing...
This is after using TriReduction in the AM and Exfol and SuperCop in the PM" - T.C. / Client continues on her regimen and as she does so, we look forward to posting her final results.
MOST RECENT UPDATE (As of May 2006)
I can still see that there is a huge improvement...the treatment has been sporadic with the Super Cop 2X. - T.C.
I have used the Copper-Peptides mixed with Retin A ( .025) on newly formed stretch marks and they disappeared. I can get retin A over the counter in the country where I live)...
Thanks.

I am 32 years old and, after loosing a great deal of weight, developed severe stretch marks and loose skin over my body. For six month now, I have been applied TriReduction over my entire body every night and did the same in the morning with a 15% glycolic acid from Neostrata. This vigorous procedure left my skin somewhat sore and irritated but there has been a 30 to 40% reduction in the the depth and width of the stretch marks. There also has been a marked increase in the elasticity of my skin and much of the loose and hanging skin is gone.
These products saved me from having to have surgery to remove the excess skin. The skin on my breasts also tightened up - not as much as a breast lift - but there is definitely more bounce now.

I have been using your TriReduction P&R with retinol and hydroxy acid on my 30-year-old stretch marks (which were extensive and severe) and some four-year old scars from plastic surgery (a breast lift and abdominoplasty) since September. I'm also having microdermabrasion treatments (since June on the stretch marks and since March on the surgical scars). The use of your excellent products has really accelerated the improvements in the stretch marks. They're flattening, filling, shrinking, unraveling, and even in some places disappearing. I have hopes they may all be gone one day.
Thanks, and thank you so much for your wonderful products.

Skin Biology comment - People vary greatly in the response to the different versions. The stronger (retinol) versions work very well on the face of many people but not with others. Many people demand P&R # 3.
The TriReduction P&R with Retinol and the hydroxy acid definitely improved my stretch marks. They are slowly fading away.

For 3 months I have been using P&R #4 and a hydroxy acid on stretch marks from a pregnancy 10 years ago. Every night before bed, I put a covering of P&R and hydroxy acid on the scars. They are reducing and even my husband has noticed the difference. Previously I tried about everything including vitamin serums and cocoa butter but nothing had improved the skin.
With these products, I have had no irritation, no burning, and no rash - yet the scars are diminishing.
I can't say how much I
am pleased with your products. I had stretch marks from two pregnancies
and tried everything to
remove them. Finally
I tried the P&R3 and hydroxy acid which has nearly cleared up the marks.
I can't get over the difference in the scars from the stretch marks and my husband agrees.

I just wanted to tell you that the BioHeal and a hydroxy acid did a great job of removing my stretch marks four months after the baby came. I had been planning on laser treatments but thought I would give your ideas a try and it worked great.
Thanks again

When I was young, I grew too fast and developed stretch marks on my legs. After two months of the TriReduction Combo they are a noticeably smaller.

I'm calling to order more TriReduction P&R. I have been using it on stretch marks and it seems to be improving their appearance. I know it will take more time but things are going in the right direction.
