Stretch Mark Research

All Liforma stretch mark prevention products have been independently tested and clinically trialled.
Below are more details of Liforma's extensive research and findings, as well as our clinical trials programme.

Liforma Scientific & User Trials. Test & Trial Information:

The Liforma Stretch Mark Support aims to prevent the formation of stretch marks by using Vector Alignment™ technology - 'grip pads' that prevent a stress or strain focus from ever occurring, by supporting the skin locally and uniformly, and by spreading and equalising load evenly across the entire abdominal skin surface. The stretch mark support has been subjected to a series of tests and trials in order to provide scientific 'proof of principle' and 'wearibility' by pregnant women.
The Liforma Stretch Mark Support, featuring Vector Alignment™ technology, was first subjected to laboratory based tests to show that the garment could alter the vector pattern of forces and distortions on an underlying structure designed to mimic the pregnant abdomen.

Liforma Stretch Mark Support Laboratory Test Findings:

A series of controlled, scientific tests were carried out on the Liforma Stretch Mark Support to find out its effectiveness in the prevention of stretch marks. The tests were designed to find out if the Liforma support with its built-in Vector Alignment™ technology altered the vector forms and distortions in underlying tissue. In other words, did the construction of the support itself, allied with the design and adhesion of the unique VA grip pads, result in asymmetric deformation and uniform support of the underlying skin?

The Liforma Stretch Mark Support, with its VA grip pads, was proven to alter the behaviour of the underlying skin tissue causing less vector deformation and stress formation over a wide strain (or expansion) range, similar to that which would be experienced in pregnancy.

These tests showed that the Liforma support substantially changed and disrupted the patterns of strain, or stress focus (direction), in the skin by up to 30%.
