AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent describes a method for preventing stretch marks on a person's body. This involves applying an oil to the area and then covering it with a non-absorbent film or fabric. The non-absorbent material is secured to the person's body to keep the oil in place. This method can be used with clothing made from a two-layer fabric that retains the oil and prevents stretch marks. The technical effect of this patent is to provide a way to prevent stretch marks and improve the appearance of the skin.

Problems solved by technology

Unfortunately, up to 90% of women develop stretch marks during pregnancy.
This causes the skin to tear, leaving a permanent, scar-like appearance known as stretch marks or striae of pregnancy.
While the benefits of keeping natural oils on the expanding abdomen during pregnancy has been promoted and encouraged by the medical community, the problem lies in the fact that women living in a modern society wear clothing that immediately absorbs almost any and all skin care products and oils that are applied.
This negates any advantage that would have been achieved by potential absorption of the products / oils by the skin over time.

Doctors often just advise women to lather up with lotion or oil and hope for the best. Unfortunately, up to 90% of women develop stretch marks during pregnancy. Many women long for an effective solution.[0002]During a woman's pregnancy, the skin on the woman's abdomen is stretched to accommodate the growing baby.
