Derma-Roller

Huge amounts of people all over the world have to deal with stretch marks. Both women and men alike, will find them showing after times 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, baby. Invariably though, it fails to do so and tears form in the middle layer of skin, known as the Dermis. These tears show as red streaks initially and fade gradually to a silvery colour.

The stretch marks are really areas of skin with reduced levels of collagen. As the middle layer is ripped apart during the growth phase, it fails to restore 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 stretch marks, the cosmetic concerns, but, are fantastic. They make you feel self concious in front of people and don’t look very nice.

Treating stretch marks involves increasing the collagen levels within the Dermis layer of skin. This is best done by enhancing your own physical natural ability to produce collagen as opposed to introducing it from alternative sources. The best technique for doing this is skin-needling, using Dermarollers, which work as a type of collagen induction therapy}.

A dermaroller is a hand held tool with many tiny 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 benefit of using a derma roller , is the way in which it increases the effectiveness of oils and creams, such as the commonly used bio oil. It gives these lotions the ideal conditions to penetrate the upper levels of skin to a far greater degree providing a much improved result.

As with anything involving health and wellbeing, it is vital to do your research and consult your doctor before beginning or using any product or treatment.
