Scientists from the University of California and University College London have partnered with Secret Saviors to develop a technology that is up to 82% effective at preventing pregnancy stretch marks. This line has already been tested by 30 thousand pregnant women. In this respect informs Daily mail.
According to researchers, it is much easier to prevent stretch marks than to get rid of them later. Most methods of their treatment are ineffective, and in some cases even laser correction cannot completely smooth the skin.
Stretch marks can be thought of as a type of scar – a partial tear in the skin with jagged lines during pregnancy, often an unpleasant purplish color. They can appear on the thighs, abdomen, chest, and arms. We know that in the abdominal wall, the skin is laid in a special way with strips running from side to side. If you press the stress point on the skin, it will tear. If you prevent the formation of this stress focus in the first place and equalize the load on the abdominal wall, then there will be no cracks.
The proposed technology includes the use of special day and night creams and underwear. Linen holds the skin, disperses the pressure and prevents it from “exploding”. The clothing line includes panties, leggings, shorts and bras.
“We organized a formal clinical trial. More than 120 women participated in this study – 60 of whom did not use our system. The results showed that seven out of 10 women were successfully prevented from developing stretch marks, and two out of 10 women were able to significantly reduce their number,” the authors write.
