Plenty of people across the world suffer from strech marks. Both men and women will find them appearing after times of significant 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 bones, muscles or, in the case of pregnancy, baby. Invariably though, it fails to do so and tears form in the middle layer of skin, referred to as the Dermis. These tears appear as red streaks initially and change over time to a silvery colour.
The stretch marks in actual fact are pockets of skin with lower levels of collagen. As the middle layer is ripped apart during the growth phase, it does not manage to restore itself so that it looks like its former state. Of course, it is only a cosmetic concern as there is little or no medical downside 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.
Stretch mark removal involves increasing the levels of collagen within the Dermis layer of skin. This is most effectively achieved by increasing your own bodies natural ability to generate collagen as opposed to introducing it from external sources. The most common technique for doing this is micro needling, using a derma roller, which work as 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 induce 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 very popular bio oil. It gives these lotions the opportunity to penetrate the upper levels of skin far more effectively providing a much enhanced result.
As with anything health or medical related, it is vital to do your research and consult your doctor before beginning or using any product or treatment.
