Derma-Roller – get rid of stretch marks
Plenty of people across the world suffer from stretch marks. Both women and men alike, will find them showing after periods of significant growth such as puberty. Women, of course, suffer with them after pregnancy.
They occur as our skin attempts to keep up 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 middle layer of skin, known as the Dermis. These tears show as red streaks at first and change over time to a silvery colour.
The stretch marks are actually pockets of skin with reduced levels of collagen. As the middle layer is ripped in two during the growth phase, it fails to restore itself so that it looks like its former state. Of course, it is only a cosmetic concern 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.
To remove stretch marks involves increasing the collagen levels within the Dermis layer of skin. This is most effectively achieved by enhancing your own bodies natural ability to produce collagen rather than introducing it from external sources. The best technique for doing this is medical needling using a dermaroller which is a type of collagen induction therapy.
A derma roller is a hand held device with many small 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 permeate the upper levels of skin to a far greater degree providing a much enhanced result.
As with anything health or medical related, it is important to do your research and go and see your doctor before beginning or using any product or treatment.
