[Skin Concerns] Ridding the world of stretch marks: apparently it's going to happen sooner than we all think

Beauty Tips For Body Care
This should interest a lot of people, since it's about stretch marks and scars. Here's some context:Elastagen is a clinical stage medical company with an advanced pipeline of products based on the human protein tropoelastin, a pioneering medical biomaterial. Elastin is a critical component of tissues in the human body which require the ability to stretch and recoil, such as the skin, lungs, arteries, elastic ligaments. The clinical trial company has developed a synthetic version of the elastin protein which is identical to that naturally present in the human body.Elastagen was bought by Allergan for 150 million dollars in 2018, here are several audio interviews with robert daniels (ceo) and tony weiss (the guy who's been working on tropoelastin for 20 years), and according to them, their product is very powerful, and virtually solves problems like stretch marks (as long as they're not larger than 0.5 mm) and acne scar.Essentially, in the case of stretch marks, the synthetic skin fills in the lesion (since it's atrophic) and replaces the skin that should have been there in the first place. They mention an average improvement of 90% based on the 40 people who they tested their product on.I'll link you guys two of those interviews, I suppose it should help, and I'll also add a bunch of links which should be interesting as well concerning elastagenhttps://omny.fm/shows/money-news-with-ross-greenwood/ross-greenwood-speaks-with-medical-company-elastaghttps://soundcloud.com/user-505804043/synthetic-skin-changing-lives-around-the-worldhttps://www.afr.com/companies/healthcare-and-fitness/university-of-sydney-spinoff-elastagen-sold-for-120m-to-botox-maker-20180208-h0vrkfhttps://www.linkedin.com/pulse/allergan-acquire-elastagen-access-next-generation-injectable-weiss/https://www.businessinsider.com.au/botox-maker-allergan-buys-elastagen-2018-2https://www.medicalresearch.nsw.gov.au/human-skin-replacement-that-got-experts-buzzing/Also this link (go to page 18 of the document), which explains that their tropoelastin prodcut basically reproduces everything the skin does (sweat, hair etc...)https://go8.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Allies-In-Excellence.pdfAnd a simple video about their product:https://youtu.be/0dgd7gv2fkkWhen one of the biggest pharmaceutical companies in the world, which created Botox, acquire a clinical trial company for 150 million dollars, it's big.TLDR: looks like we finally have a solution for stretch marks and acne scars, which, although it won't 100% remove them, is really close, and should make them extremely hard to notice at all anymore (so it virtually removes the problem, again).
