Which medicines can help?
Various tablets can also be taken to strengthen the connective tissue. For example, there are freely available tablets from the drugstore that contain biotin and silica. Biotin is also called vitamin B7 or vitamin H and helps to strengthen skin, hair and nails.
However, taking biotin and silica does not necessarily have to result in a noticeable effect. These preparations only help if a vitamin deficiency is the cause of the connective tissue weakness, which is often not the only cause. The effect of silica has not yet been scientifically proven.
There are also preparations that contain hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a component of the “basic substance” of connective tissue and helps to bind water. However, the effect of taking hyaluronic acid to strengthen the connective tissue has not been scientifically proven and a noticeable effect is questionable.
salts for a weak connective tissue
Basically, it can be said that the effect of salts similar to the effect of the freely available tablets from the drugstore is not scientifically proven. A weakness of the connective tissue cannot usually be corrected by simply adding preparations. Among the salts, Calcium sulfuricum (No.
12) and Potassium chloratum (No. 4) can help to regenerate the connective tissue. The Salt No.
11, Silicea, is supposed to stimulate the formation of collagen and thus contribute to the regeneration of the connective tissue. The protein build-up and thus the formation of connective tissue can be supported by Salt No. 2, Calcium Phosphoricum. Furthermore Cuprum arsenicosum, Salt No. 19, can strengthen the connective tissue.
Homeopathy for a weakness of the connective tissue
As far as homeopathy is concerned, it should be noted that it is not a scientifically proven field. This means that homeopathic medicines have no provable effectiveness. An improvement of the symptoms through homeopathy alone is therefore very unlikely.
salts belong to homeopathy. These are already described in the paragraph ” salts”. Furthermore globules can be taken.
The active ingredients are similar to those of salts. For example there are Silicea Globules. In addition, Mercurius solubilis globules can help to strengthen the connective tissue. However, the main field of application is the fight against inflammations of skin and mucous membranes. It is therefore questionable whether Mercurius solubilis leads to a significant improvement in the connective tissue.
Surgical measures
In severe cases, cosmetic surgery can also contribute to a tightening of the connective tissue. There is no special connective tissue surgery. However, liposuction can be considered if attempts to lose weight are unsuccessful. After pregnancies or severe weight loss, an abdominoplasty can have a positive influence on the cosmetic results. There is also the possibility of a thigh lift or upper arm lift.
