Overview
Stratamark is a rapidly drying, non-sticky, transparent gel formulation for the prevention and treatment of stretch marks. Stratamark is used to soften and flatten stretch marks, reduce redness and discolouration associated with stretch marks as well as to relieve the itching and discomfort of stretch marks. Stratamark was developed to spread easily over large surfaces of the body (i.e. buttocks, abdomen, thighs, breast and back).
Stratamark is a rapidly drying, non-sticky, transparent gel formulation for the prevention and treatment of Striae Distensae (stretch marks). Stratamark was developed for the prevention and treatment of all types of stretch marks, particularly those covering a wide surface area, resulting from pregnancy, adolescent growth spurts, weight gain or loss, or bodybuilding. When used as directed, Stratamark dries to form a thin, flexible and protective gel sheet. It creates a protective layer that is gas permeable and waterproof which hydrates and protects stretch marks, allowing the skin to normalise the collagen synthesis cycle.

Stratamark was developed to spread easily over large surfaces of the body (i.e. buttocks, abdomen, thighs, breast and back), as well as exposed and sensitive areas.

Instructions
DIRECTIONS:Ensure that the skin is clean and dry.
Apply a very thin layer of Stratamark to the relevant areas with the fingertips and distribute evenly to form a very thin layer and allow the gel to dry. A little
amount of gel goes a long way.
When applied correctly, Stratamark should be dry in 5–6 minutes.
If it takes longer to dry you have probably applied too much. Gently remove any excess gel with a tissue or paper towel and allow the drying process to continue.
Once dry, Stratamark can be covered with undergarments, sunscreens or cosmetics.
Stratamark should be applied once per day, or after each wash. For best results Stratamark should be maintained in continuous contact with the skin (24 hours a day/7 days a week).
USAGE ADVICE:Recommended duration of treatment
Prevention of stretch marks during pregnancy:
Stratamark is recommended for use from the
beginning of the second trimester (13 weeks) or at
the first sign of stretch marks. Treatment should be
continued following birth for a minimum of 60 to 90 days.
Prevention of stretch marks during growth spurts:
Stratamark should be used for the duration of the
growth spurt or until the skin is no longer tightly
stretched. Treatment should then be continued for
60 to 90 days.
Treatment of existing stretch marks: Stratamark
should be used for at least 60 to 90 days (24 hours a
day/ 7 days a week). Continued use is recommended
until no further improvement is seen. Severe and/or
older stretch marks may need longer treatment.
How much Stratamark do I need?
Stratamark gel is a unique formulation that requires
substantially less product per application than typical
moisturising creams or cosmetic preparations.
• One Stratamark 20 g (0.7 oz) tube contains enough gel for approximately one month treatment for women in the late stages of pregnancy. In the beginning of pregnancy or after delivery one tube will last longer due to the smaller application area.
