Q: What are stretch marks?
A:Stretch marks, or striae disease,
are irregular furrowed bands or stripes caused by a rapid stretching of skin from
dramatic weight gain associated with pregnancy, adolescent growth, or body building.
Physicians believe that the excessive stretching of skin breaks down the collagen
and elastin fibers that provide suppleness and resiliency. The result is a dermal
tear that turns into a scar. Over time, stretch marks can have a bleached scar-like
appearance and may have a different texture from surrounding skin. Not everyone
gets stretch marks - some people are predisposed due to their genetic makeup and
the amount of elastin in their skin.
Q: How does TriLASTIN-SR Work?
A:Scientists created TriLASTIN-SR
to treat stretch marks by targeting the source of the problem. The advanced formula
uses a custom blend of active ingredients to re-build collagen and elastin - the
essential building blocks of the skin - and restore resiliency and suppleness through
advanced moisturizing science.
Q: What results can I expect by using TriLASTIN-SR?
A: Regular use of TriLASTIN-SR
will reduce the appearance of existing or new stretch marks in as little as 4 weeks.
Specifically, the TriLASTIN-SR formula is designed to:
- Provide visible reduction in the depth and length of stretch mark furrows;
-
Help firm and tighten loose, stretched skin;
- Normalize tone and pigment discoloration;
- Help maximize the skin's elasticity to prevent future stretch marks;
- Restore the skin's natural smoothness and suppleness.
Q: What is VirtualPatch&trade?
A:VirtualPatch™ - A net-like solution of marine collagen macro-molecules that form a film over the skin's surface, which regulates the natural evaporation of dermal water. In the same manner as a patch, it releases moisture molecules deep into the skin (serine) throughout the day, which replenishes the skin's reservoir in the lower dermal layers. The association of marine collagen, alginate and serine synergistically create a micronetwork at molecular scale, that imitates the characteristics of a patch as well as its physiological role. Effectively, this micronetwork first plays an intrinsic role of anti-dehydration through filmogenic function, and secondly is a transfer medium for introducing penetrating bioactive components.
Q: What is FillingSpheres™ technology?
A:FillingSpheres™ - Collagen-rich microspheres, which immediately smooth out wrinkles. Dehydrated for better cutaneous penetration, these spheres are "micro-injected" into the tissues, where they swell up with water. When they increase in volume, they immediately smooth out the cutaneous surface. On wrinkled and deeply furrowed tissue, this has the effect of rapidly reducing the depth and length of the furrows by essentially filling them in.
Additionally, the filling microspheres also maintain the skin's water capital by providing stored hydration, releasing collagen-rich moisture back into the surrounding tissue as it dehydrates.
Q: How does TriLASTIN-SR compare to other topical stretch mark products?
A:As of this writing, TriLASTIN-SR
is the only stretch mark product employing cutting-edge microsphere and virtual
patch technologies. TriLASTIN-SR is the only intensive complex featuring this custom
blend of synergistic active ingredients, carefully selected to treat the causes
of stretch marks and prevent future occurrences. Rather than target just one aspect
of stretch mark recovery, TriLASTIN-SR is designed to treat all aspects of existing
scars while rebuilding the skin's structure, resiliency and elasticity.
A key component of the formula's effectiveness is the unique sophisticated delivery
systems that ensure targeted immediate results and long-term prevention. Created
by industry-leading cosmetic chemists, TriLASTIN-SR defines a new standard of excellence
for the treatment of stretch marks.
Q: Can physicians use lasers to remove stretch marks?
A:Laser treatments do not 'remove'
stretch marks. Quite simply, lasers are used to help thicken the overlying skin
of stretch mark tissue in an attempt to hide them. Unlike TriLASTIN-SR, laser treatments
do not address the principle causes of stretch mark scarring. Although physicians
are constantly experimenting with various laser treatments, there are currently
no laser or light-based therapies that are FDA-cleared to eliminate stretch marks.
Q: Will TriLASTIN-SR help minimize stretch mark discoloration?
A:Yes. TriLASTIN-SR contains purified
extract of licorice root, an ingredient proven to be effective for inhibiting the
production of melanin, which is responsible for creating darker pigment in the skin.
Studies of this licorice extract indicate it is significantly more effective than
hydroquinone or kojic acid in lightening the skin.
Q: Will TriLASTIN-SR also work on general and surgical scars?
A:Yes. Stretch marks are essentially
a type of dermal scar tissue. Just as the TriLASTIN-SR formula works to normalize
the visible scarring, uneven texture and red or whitened tone associated with stretch
marks, the formula works the same way for other types of scars.
Q: Will TriLASTIN-SR work on old stretch marks?
A:Yes. While newer stretch marks
tend to be red in color, older stretch marks tend to be silver/white, with less
contrast to the surrounding skin. Accordingly, older stretch marks respond quite
well as they blend more easily into the surrounding tissue during ongoing treatment.
Q: Is TriLASTIN-SR safe to use? Are there any side effects?
A:TriLASTIN-SR has been tested for
safe use by an independent laboratory and used by tens of thousands of individuals
in 130 countries. There have been no reported adverse. The formula is hypoallergenic
and fragrance-free.
Q: Is TriLASTIN-SR effective on all skin types and colors?
A: Yes. TriLASTIN-SR has been tested
to be effective on all skin types and colors.
Q: Is TriLASTIN-SR FDA approved?
A:Since TriLASTIN-SR is available
without a prescription, FDA approval is not required. The TriLASTIN-SR formula is
manufactured under the strictest quality control conditions in an FDA-registered
laboratory.
Q: Where should I apply TriLASTIN-SR?
A:TriLASTIN-SR may be applied anywhere
on the body where stretch marks occur or where dermal improvement is desired. For
women, typical areas for use include the abdomen, thighs, hips and breasts. For
men, common treatment areas also include the abdomen, thighs, and hips, as well
as chest, shoulders and biceps (a common area for body builders). TriLASTIN-SR should
not be applied directly on the nipple or areola.
Q: How much TriLASTIN-SR should I apply?
A: A dime-sized amount is sufficient
to effectively treat a 6 to 8 square-inch area.
Q: How often should I apply TriLASTIN-SR?
A:TriLASTIN-SR should be applied
2 to 3 times daily on clean, dry skin with a firm circular motion until the cream
is completely absorbed (usually about 30 seconds).
Q: How long will a 6-oz. tube of TriLASTIN-SR last?
A: Depending on the size of the
treated area, a 6-oz. tube of TriLASTIN-SR will last approximately 1 to 2 months
when used as directed.
Q: Can I use TriLASTIN-SR to treat facial wrinkles?
A: TriLASTIN-SR was developed specifically
as a treatment for stretch marks. However, the principles of treating stretch marks
are very similar to the standard approach to wrinkles - targeting the breakdown
of collagen and elastin, providing a superior moisture barrier, etc. In fact, EC
Research developed a formula using the same scientific approach to target the causes
of facial fine lines and wrinkles. ProPLEXIN-CR Cellular Renewal Complex features
a custom blend of bioactive compounds and advanced delivery systems clinically proven
to reduce the signs of aging. For more information, visit

Q: How long will it take TriLASTIN-SR to produce visible results?
A: When used as directed, most users
will see visible improvement within 2 to 4 weeks. As always, individual results
will vary depending on the severity of the stretch marks and overall lifestyle.
Smoking, excessive exposure to the sun and poor diet negatively impact the overall
quality of the skin and the body's ability to heal.
Q: Does TriLASTIN-SR work equally well on everyone?
A: No single pharmaceutical or cosmeceutical
skincare product will work equally well on every type of skin. TriLASTIN-SR is formulated
to provide the most effective solution for stretch marks on any type of skin - however
individual results may vary.
Q: Will the results reverse if I stop using TriLASTIN-SR?
A:No. Results obtained from the
use of TriLASTIN-SR will not reverse once use of the product is discontinued. However,
it's important to note that TriLASTIN-SR will help prevent the occurrence of new
stretch marks by supplementing the structural proteins that provide strength and
flexibility to the skin. Discontinuing use may make skin susceptible to future stretch
marks.
Q: Can I use TriLASTIN-SR with other body creams or lotions?
A:Yes, TriLASTIN-SR can be used
in combination with your favorite body creams and lotions. Always apply TriLASTIN-SR
first to clean dry skin - prior to any body lotion or sunscreen - in order to ensure
maximum absorption of the key ingredients and delivery systems.
Q: Where is TriLASTIN-SR sold?
A:TriLASTIN-SR is available online
at www.ecresearchcorp.com and at A Pea In The
Pod maternity apparel stores nationwide.
