Derma Roller
Plenty of people across the world have to deal with stretch marks. Both males and females will find them showing after periods of significant growth such as puberty. Women, as is often the case, suffer with them after pregnancy.
They occur as our skin tries to maintain its expansion with the rate of growth in the muscles, bones or, in the case of pregnancy, child. Invariably though, it fails to do so and tiny splits 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 in actual fact are areas of skin with reduced levels of collagen. As the middle layer is ripped in two during the growth phase, it does not manage to heal itself so that it appears like its former state. Of course, it is only a cosmetic issue as there is little or no medical downside to having stretch marks, the cosmetic concerns, however, are great. 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 increasing your own physical natural ability to produce collagen rather than introducing it from external sources. The best way of doing this is microneedling, using a dermaroller, which work as a type of collagen induction therapy}.
A derma roller is a hand held tool with many micro needles that you roll over your skin to begin 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 increases the effectiveness of creams and oils, such as the very popular bio oil. It gives these lotions the ideal conditions to penetrate the upper levels of skin far more effectively providing a much enhanced 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.
