Derma Roller For Stretch Marks

Age spots, wrinkles, stretch marks, and acne scars diminish the natural beauty of your skin. If you have been plagued by any of these skin conditions at some point in your life, you know how difficult it is to find an effective, long-lasting and reasonably-priced solution to address the problem. More often than not, a woman would have already spent hundreds of dollars on dermatological treatments and products before finding something that can make these skin problems go away.

The good news is that there is now a wide array of do-it-yourself skin care treatments that you can conduct right in your very own home to get rid of these ugly superficial imperfections. The derma roller is designed to work wonders on every skin type, color, and age, probing deep into your skin to jumpstart the natural rejuvenation process. This allows your skin to heal itself faster and more effectively, sans the artificial and invasive processes that other dermatological treatments offer.

Getting to know your stretch marks

Many women purchase derma roller for stretch marks removal. Stretch marks are among the most common imperfections you can find on different parts of the skin, particularly the thighs, buttocks, stomach, and lower back. It is also common for women who have given birth.

These marks are the result of rapid weight gain or loss. As we gain weight, our skin stretches to make room for the body’s expanding dimension. When we shrink back to our former size, the skin might not always catch up. It folds, sags or develops striations—this is how a stretch mark begins to form on your skin.

Stretch marks can look like small, web-like bumps along the parts of the body that have expanded the most as you gained weight or your baby grew. They may appear reddish, pinkish, purplish or silvery in color, depending on your skin tone. Sometimes they are not very visible, and it is only when you run your palm across the body that you will feel certain areas where the skin is raised and puckered.

Pre-treatment preparation for the skin

To begin restoring your skin’s smooth, supple, elastic condition, you have to prep it thoroughly prior to the first derma roller for stretch marks treatment. You need to use products that can strengthen the skin beneath and around your stretch marks in order to initiate collagen production.

You can buy a complete derma roller stretch marks kit that includes a healthy skin serum, or you can also get products piecemeal. What is important is that you kick start collagen production as early as possible so that when the derma roller comes into the picture, your skin is truly primed to manufacture more of this skin-saving protein.

Don’t forget to apply generous amounts of your favorite moisturizer and sunscreen on your skin. These products keep your skin hydrated and protected from the sun’s harsh UV rays. When your skin is at its best condition, it will be able to heal itself naturally in the shortest possible time.

Derma roller to the rescue

Once you feel that your skin is primed and ready to begin the rejuvenation process with the aid of the derma roller, it’s time to actually do the treatment. Clean the areas that you wish to treat with a gentle cleanser. You may apply numbing cream if the area to be treated is extensive or if you will be using the longer needles for the process.

Gently roll the derma roller across the area to be treated, applying a bit of pressure to allow the needles to penetrate into your skin. At this point, you would have known whether you purchased a truly effective product because the pinpricks on your skin should be of even space, size, and depth. Keep well away from the areas that you don’t want to treat.

Apply a skin serum of your choice. Let it sit on your skin for 15 minutes before applying moisturizer. The next day, be sure to slather on skin serum, moisturizer, and sunblock before leaving home to protect your skin during the repair process. It is vulnerable at this stage, so you need to give it some extra nourishment.
