Isolagen and Stretchmarks may not be something you hear a lot about but it is growing in popularity. Isolagen is used to deal with the causes of aging skin and has been available for cosmetic and medical use in the UK for the last three years. You can also find the treatment in the European Union. At this time, trials are being conducted for treatment for stretchmarks, eczema, psoriasis, and even receding gums.

The reason that isolagen will be great for the treatment of stretchmarks is that it works in two ways. Isolagen increases the production of collagen and elastin. This improves the quality of the skin. With the production of elastin and collagen, you will notice a visible difference in the elasticity, tone and texture of your skin including where stretch marks are present. Isolagen also improves the dermis and epidermis, which aids in smoothing links and wrinkles such as the bumpy skin that is produced from stretch marks.

In the UK and Europe, trained dermatologist, aesthetic doctors and plastic surgeons can accomplish this procedure. Before any doctor can perform this type of procedure, they must enroll and complete a training program accredited by the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh.

At this time there have been over 10,000 people treated with isolagen without any adverse reactions. With this procedure, your body believes the cells are your own cells and does reject the cells as with other procedures. This helps your skin with self-rejuvenation and is considered one of the safest treatments available.

Prior to the surgery, your surgeon will give you a local anesthetic to help with any discomfort. In some cases, before the local anesthetic a topical cream is also used to help with discomfort from the injections. The most discomfort is in the form of redness and swelling that lasts for around two hours after the surgery. Usually, these signs are gone by the next morning, if you have the surgery in the afternoon. After surgery, you are released to go home and relax. There is no need for an overnight stay in the hospital.

The results from isolagen is gradual. Many patients do not see any remarkable difference until around three to six months after the surgery. Remember, isolagen works with your own cells to heal your skin. Every person is different and the time it takes to see improvement is different. Some patients have noticed improvement is just a few short weeks.
