Stretchmarks – Why do they form?
Many of people across the world have to deal with stretchmarks. Both males and females will find them appearing after periods of significant growth such as puberty. Women, more often than not suffer with them post pregnancy.
They occur as our skin attempts to keep up with the rate of growth in the muscles, bones or, in the case of pregnancy, baby. Invariably though, it fails to do so and tears form in the second layer of skin, referred to 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 lower levels of collagen. As the skin is ripped apart 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 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 enhancing your own bodies natural ability to generate collagen as opposed to introducing it from alternative sources. The most common technique for doing this is micro needling, using a Derma roller or other collagen induction therapies.
The other additional advantage of this type of treatment, is the way in which it increases the effectiveness of creams and oils, such as the commonly used bio oil. It gives these lotions the opportunity to permeate the upper levels of skin far more effectively providing a much improved result.
As with anything health or medical related, it is vital to do your research and go and see your doctor before beginning or using any product or treatment.

Skin Needling – The Answer To All your Skins Problems
Micro-Needling
Until recently Micro Needling was very expensive and needed you to see a specialst regularly; however Micro Needling has now become a normal procedure in a lot of normal house holds. The Derma Roller is a simple device with lots of sterilized microscopic needles which, as they are rolled over the epidermis, delicately part the pores of the epidermis and trigger the healing process increasing the production of collagen and elastin.
Collagen is required for skin to heal to a cosmetic level
Collagen and elastin are the main elements in the development of stretch marks, the main cause of the formation of skin conditions including stretch marks and scarring is there is a lack of collagen and elastin in the skin, when this is replaced the skin returns to a firm state. When an injury occurs, such as a graze, the skin heals itself to stay healthy; however the skin doesn’t recognise that scars are undesirable.
For scarring, stretchmarks and facial wrinkles to be removed or reduced, the skin needs to think that there is reason to start healing itself producing more collagen and elastin, using a Derma roller achieves this by gently opening the pores of the top layer of skin giving the impression of the skin being damaged and in need of repair. Repeating the process of Micro-Needling will ensure your skin continues to heal itself to a completely cosmetic level.
Is Micro Needling the best option?
In compasison to other practices, Micro Needling is much economic and better then therapies such as only using creams because the skin absorbes only a minor percentage of creams applied, however when applied after using the Derma-Roller the creams are absorbed a lot better as the pores are open.
Micro Needling is used to treat a wide range of skin conditions; Stretch marks, Cellulite, Wrinkles, pitted skin, acne scars, surgery scars, scars, crow’s feet etc
