Derma-Roller – get rid of stretch marks
Plenty of people all over the world have to deal with strech marks. Both women and men alike, will find them showing after periods of rapid growth such as puberty. Women, of course, suffer with them post pregnancy.
They occur as our skin tries to maintain its expansion with the rate of growth in the muscles, bones or, in the instance of pregnancy, child. Invariably however, it fails to do so and tears form in the 2nd layer of skin, referred to as the Dermis. These tears show as red streaks initially and change over time to a silvery colour.
The stretch marks are actually areas of skin with reduced levels of collagen. As the middle layer is ripped in two during the growth phase, it fails to heal itself so that it appears like its former state. Of course, it is only a cosmetic issue as there is practically no medical disadvantage to having these marks, the cosmetic concerns, however, are great. They make you feel self concious in front of people and don’t look very nice.
Removing stretch marks involves boosting the levels of collagen within the Dermis layer of skin. This is most effectively achieved by increasing your own physical natural ability to produce collagen as opposed to introducing it from external sources. The best way of doing this is medical needling using a dermaroller, which is a type of collagen induction therapy.
A derma-roller is a hand held gadget with many micro needles that you roll over your skin to start the healing process and increase collagen and elastin production to naturally heal the skin.
The other additional advantage of using a dermaroller , is the way in which it boosts the effectiveness of creams and oils, such as the commonly used bio oil. It gives these lotions the ideal conditions to penetrate the upper levels of skin far more effectively providing a much improved result.
As with anything health or medical related, it is important to do your research and consult your doctor before beginning or using any product or treatment.
