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 for 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 moisturising science.
Q: What results can I expect by using TriLASTIN-SR?A: Regular use of TriLASTIN-SR will dramatically reduce the appearance of existing stretch marks, and help prevent the formation of 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;
- Normalise the skin’s tone;
- Help maximize the skin’s elasticity to help prevent future stretch marks;
- Promotes the skin’s natural smoothness and suppleness.
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 filling microsphere and virtual patch technologies. TriLASTIN-SR is the only intensive complex featuring this custom blend of synergistic active ingredients, carefully selected to target the causes of stretch marks, and help prevent future occurrences. Rather than target just one aspect of the stretch mark solution, TriLASTIN-SR is designed to target all aspects of existing scars while maximising the skin’s structure, resiliency and elasticity.
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 minimizes 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 in dramatically reducing the appearance of these pigmented areas, than hydroquinone or kojic acid.
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 reduce the appearance of 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.
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 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: The size of a 10-cent coin is a sufficient amount for an approximate area of
15-20 cm.
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 177mL tube of TriLASTIN-SR last?A: Depending on the size of the treated area, a 177ml tube of TriLASTIN-SR will last approximately 1 to 2 months when used as directed.
Q: Can I use TriLASTIN-SR on facial wrinkles?A: TriLASTIN-SR was developed specifically for stretch marks. However, the principles of targeting 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, the creators 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, see ‘other products’ on this site.
Q: How long will it take TriLASTIN-SR to produce visible results?A: When used as directed, most users will see visible improvement within 3 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 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.trilastin.com.au
Q: Is TriLASTIN-SR guaranteed?A: TriLASTIN-SR has a 60-day no risk 100% money back guarantee.
