Stretch marks don’t all look alike. They vary depending on how long you’ve had them, what caused them, where they are on your body and the type of skin you have. Common variations include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Indented streaks or lines on the abdomen, breasts, hips, buttocks or other places on the body<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Pink, red, black, blue or purple streaks<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Bright streaks that fade to a lighter colour<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Streaks covering large areas of the body.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    The red and infrared light therapy<\/strong> used in the Photizo Blush<\/strong> has been shown to help with improving the appearance of stretch marks, creating a smoother appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How will light therapy help to stimulate the production of collagen and fibroblasts for reducing the appearance of stretch marks?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Increases circulation and the formation of new capillaries<\/strong>. <\/strong>This brings an immediate healthy glow<\/strong> to the skin, as new capillaries mean more oxygen and nutrients to each skin cell.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Increases lymph system activity.<\/strong> This reduces swelling and puffiness, as the lymph system is actually made more efficient over time, resulting in healthier skin overall.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Causes the release of ATP, or raw cellular energy.<\/strong> This provides energy to the cells to make the most of the additional blood, oxygen, nutrients, detoxification, growth, and repair.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Smooth overall skin tone<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Increase collagen production<\/strong> in the skin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Increase fibroblast production<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Protect cells<\/strong> from damage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
      \n

      A stretch mark<\/strong> is a type of scar<\/strong> that develops when our skin stretches or shrinks quickly. The abrupt change causes the collagen and elastin<\/strong>, which support our skin, to rupture. As the skin heals, stretch marks may appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Not everyone develops these narrow bands on their skin. Fluctuating hormone levels seem to play a role. You may also have a higher risk if people in your family get stretch marks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      If you develop stretch marks, you\u2019re most likely to do so during these times:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Growth spurts that happen in puberty<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Pregnancy<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Rapid weight loss or gain<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Weight training when you have rapid muscle growth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
