Stretch Mark Treatment

The dermis is 95% of the total skin volume and when the dermis is constantly overstretched it can break down and leave stretch marks behind. Stretch marks occur when skin doesn't bounce back after it's been stretched due to pregnancy, rapid weight gain, extreme weight loss, or use of toning and bleaching products. Hence, stretch marks seem to be caused, literally, by a stretching of the skin.

Focus of stretch mark treatment will be to restore the structural integrity of the skin by increasing the thickness of the skin and stimulating collagen formation. This could be achieved by doing the following as a single procedure or as multiple procedures however, multiple procedures are advised. 

MICRONEEDLING – This cause micro-injury to the dermis with resultant production of collagen. It could be in the form of Professional (Medical) microneedle when the needle is longer and home use when the needle is shorter. Professional microneedles should only be used by a trained physician or medical health professional. The length of the needles on the microneedles determines the category. 

DERMABRASION – This is a mechanical controlled surface layer damage to stimulate new cell formation which result in more layer and new skin layer production.

CHEMICAL PEELING – This is also a chemical controlled skin cell destruction to stimulate new and thicker skin layer.

LASER THERAPY – This can be used to produce fibroblasts which are cells responsible for collagen formation. It could also be used to cause micro-injury in the dermis with resultant more collagen formation.

PRODUTS – Specific products like copper serum, derma stretch, intensive scar repair, SND with Microneedle and Ultra XFoliant can give good results even without a physician visit.

Woman gives birth to a baby without limbs in Bauchi

A 20 year old indigene of Lussa in Bogoro Local Government Area in Bauchi, Blessing Samson, gave birth to a baby boy without limbs on July 4, 2015.

The baby Christened Chongfilawos, was born with only three fingers sticking out from shortened arms on each side of his shoulder.

Blessing who lives with her parents, Mr and Mrs Samson Baraya at their family house in Gudun Sayawa, said she delivered at home.

She said she couldn't make it to the Primary Health Care centre at Dumi, which was about 3 kilometres from Gudun Sayawa, because she experienced labour late at night

She said:

“My son Chongfilawos is a blessing from God. His birth was easy. When I saw him like this, at first I was not happy but later I prayed and told myself it is the will of God.

“I love him and I will protect him with everything I have,” she said.

She said that the father of the child, Jehu Luka, a peasant farmer who lives in Lussa, was away when the baby was born but had come to check his child and left without saying anything.

Bukata Bukar who is Blessing's older brother said:

“This baby is a gift from God and we are not sad in the family,”

Girl's thighs, legs crushed in horrific accident in Warri (Graphic pics)

The horrific incident happened yesterday in Warri. The eye-witness writes below...

"Was at Firstbank Udu road branch in Warri yesterday, when suddenly the bank bullion van and police escort was coming on high speed on a wrong lane. Is a double lane road but the bullion van was on the wrong lane with the police avoiding to go and turn a few meters from the bank. Suddenly a tipper that was coming opposite lost control because of the ruff driving of the bullion van, and the tipper trying to pave way for the bullion van lost control and crush an innocent girl's leg, damaging both legs. Youths from nowhere came and start throwing stones into the bank, before police came and start shooting into the air."

The girls injuries are horrific. But thank God she survived it. See the photos after the cut but please viewer's discretion is highly advised...
