Stria
Stretch mark(s)
Question: how can I remove stria or stretch marks from my skin? Hello, I have gain and lost weight several times, therefore I have many stretch marks and it makes me very unhappy. I would like to know how can I get rid of them. Thank you!
Answer: There are a few ways to do it, either you can use the DIY method or try those proven treatment creams out on the market.
Try to massage the area with the stretch marks about three or four times a day with moisturizers that contain cocoa butter or shea butter as a prime ingredient. This hydrates the skin, making it more pliant. Again, this is most effective only in the initial stage.
If your stretch marks are already pass the initial stage (when they are red, purple, pink, or brown, depending on the color of your skin) and become white or silver (usually with deep indentation), then it would be far more difficult to minimize them, but not entirely impossible to "remove" them. But before you begin searching for these treatments, try to read more information on these topical treatments first.
Many are advertised to "repair" stretch marks, but few have actually been proven to be effective. Here's some that are available on the market:
a) Wheat germ oil - may help improve stretch marks in their early phase.
b) Glycolic acid - increases collagen production; can be administered in higher doses by a dermatologist (usually costs a few hundred bucks and requires a few visits before you see results)
c) Vitamin C - certain formulations might increase collagen production, but they'll only help with early-stage stretch marks; for best results, combine with glycolic acid.
d) Relastin - the effectiveness of this product is unknown and unverified.
e) Peptide-containing products - these "repair" creams are ineffective; there's no evidence that they work.
f) Retinoids - they're fairly effective in increasing collagen and elastic production in the early stages, but they should be avoided if you're pregnant or nursing; they're more effective when used in combination with glycolic acid.
I would recommend treatments that are using "100% natural ingredients" such as aloe vera. Aloe vera has been shown in clinical studies to have a positive effect on wound healing and holds anti-inflammatory properties.
As stretch marks start out as microscopic tears in skin layers due to overstretching of the dermis, aloe vera helps heal these small wounds without causing scar tissue to form, effectively preventing the appearance of stretch marks. Aloe vera has been used for thousands of years by the Egyptians, Romans, Greeks, Arabs, Indians and Chinese to decrease the appearance of scars and to moisturize and heal skin. The extracts from the aloe leaf protects skin from environmental factors and promotes skin regeneration.
My friend recommended me this and I have been using for a few weeks now, have shown some positive results but I am monitoring the progress since the product have a 90 days return policy.

Question: What is the function of the Stria Vascularis in the inner ear?
Why does it have melanin?
Answer: There are three fluid-filled compartments in the cochlea, the scala vestibuli, scala media and scala tympani.Stria vascularis forms the outer wall of the scala media.The scala media is filled with endolymph, which has a high potassium concentration and a low sodium concentration
stria vascularis in the cochlea produces the endolymph and the endocochlear potential (EP).
{The stria vascularis participates in maintaining the ion concentrations in the endolymph, and it has been proposed that potassium ions may be recycled within the cochlear duct from the outer hair cells to the supporting cells and then to the stria vascularis. stria vascularis pumps ions to the endolymph via Na-K-ATPase pumps, which is an energy-consuming process It is essential for the normal function of hair cells.}(or---->Sensorineural hearing loss)
Within the stria vascularis are intermediate cells, which are melanocytes and migrate from the neural crest during ontogeny .melanocytes may have some direct, essential role in the production of an EP by the stria. Melanocytes may be important both for normal strial development and for the production of the EP.
Question: How does cisplatin damage the stria vascularis and outer hair cells in the inner ear?
Answer: The mechanism of ototoxicity of cisplatin is under study. This study http://cat.inist.fr/?aModele=afficheN&cpsidt=3540413 suggests that cisplatin reduces anti-oxidant activity, allowing the persistence of reactive oxygen species (free radical?) which damage tissue in cochlea.

Question: what is the treatment of stria after pregnancy?
Answer: Do you mean striae, or stretch marks? I'll assume so. For the most part, they do fade in time to a silvery color. Other than that, you can have them lasered but that is costly and can be painful. They are a badge of motherhood, that's the best way to look at them! Best of luck.
Question: how to get rid of striae alba naturally? i had that white lines that looks stretched and want a solution for it.
Answer: Stretch marks (striae distensae) appear during pregnancy or change of weight and are a nuisance for patients and physicians because, they are so easy to diagnose, but so difficult to treat effectively.
-creams sold on the market are safe, but yet have to be shown scientifically to be effective.
-recent stretch marks are red and the colour could be faded by laser treatments.
-some dermatologists recommend the use of vitamin A (tretinoin) derived creams. The objective would be to induce the synthesis of collagen.

Question: Is there any solution for striae distensa ? I was overweight so I had so many white lines all over my body. Now I am skinny and still struggling with these lines. I want a solution PLZ.
Answer: Stretch marks do fade in time, but they don't ever go away completely. There are water-proof make-up foundations you could try if you want to wear a swim suit, etc. You could also use these on your legs or arms if you want to wear shorts or short sleeved tops. There are varied reports of how effective these are, and most are not cheap. The only permanent and most effective treatment is micro-dermabrasion (chemical skin peel) and/or laser treatment. See a dermatologist who can perform these and also offer other options.
Congrats on your weight loss, and hope this helps...

Question: does anyone knowe s a way to heal striae in natural or cosmetic way? I prefer if there is a natural way to deal with.
Answer: Do you mean stretch marks?
If so, Vitamin E and Aloe Vera are the best and most natural way to help with skin health externally and in many cases, healing damaged skin. Vitamin E creams don't have a very high potency of it, and most companies won't sell a straight vitamin E oil in a high enough concentration because it can build up in your system (if you take too high of a dose) and become toxic over time. That's why you should make sure you aren't taking a supplemental vitamin E at the same time. With Aloe Vera, you can just rub it on whatever areas need the soothing... and you can use a good cup or two a day safely if needed.
One of the best ways for smaller areas of damage (after the bulk of your skin has healed is to take a 400 IU softgel of vitamin E, poke a hole in the side of it (CAREFULLY), spread the oil on your skin, and rub it in like any massage oil. Make sure you use about an equal amount on each area of your face, as you should only do this once a day.
That's your best bet for external use (which is faster to heal the skin), but there are a lot of internal things you can use as well. There's Fish Oil (which I use for my skin problems), Biotin, Silica (available naturally in Horsetail herb), MSM, and Hyaluronic Acid among the most popular items. Different people have different reactions to those different ingredients, so it's hard to say what may help most for you. I've personally taken Biotin (which helps for a lot of people), but it was too powerful for me, so it shows how different people can be.
