The holes that the needles create in the skin are superficial. So, despite how terrifying it may seem, the treatment is minimally invasive.

How dermaroling works for stretch marks?

Anyone who has stretch marks on their skin needs derma rollers. Stretch marks are the result of rapid weight gain or loss-when the skin stretches. Our skin has a natural elasticity and is designed to allow a degree of stretching. When the skin stretches beyond that limit, it starts tearing up and stretch marks are the result.

Dermarolling on stretch marks works by the same mechanism as with other imperfections on the skin. It works by breaking up the damaged skin cells, which in turn boosts collagen and elastin production to compensate as it heals. This helps the skin to become firmer, plumper, tighter.

How to use the Derma Rolling for Stretch Marks?

Stretch marks are deep scars in the skin and usually, a 1.5mm-3.0 mm derma roller would be effective. But if you are not sure which needle length to choose, start with a smaller needle length like 1.5mm. For stretch marks on those areas where the skin is thinner and can bruise, use a 1.0mm derma roller.

1) first, disinfect your roller by letting it soak in 70% isopropyl alcohol for 6-7 minutes.

2) Clean the area you wish to treat with a gentle pH-balanced cleanser.

3) You may wish to use numbing cream because for stretch marks usually a longer needle length dermaroller (2.0-3.0mm) is used. Make sure to remove the cream completely before rolling.

4) Slightly pull the skin of the area to be treated taut with your free hand. Roll in one direction 6 to 8 times forward and backward in 3 directions: vertically, horizontally and diagonally. To allow the needle to penetrate the skin deeply, apply a bit of pressure. Slightly lift the derma roller after each roll to create new micro-channels in the skin rather than going over the same ones repeatedly.

5) After you’re done dermarolling, wash the treated area with water only and allow it to air-dry.

6) Apply a small amount of skin serum to the area.

7) Protect the area with moisturizer and sunblock if you are going out.

8) Disinfect your roller.

Note: Avoid dermarolling for 4 weeks (if using a 1.5mm derma roller) or 5 weeks (if using a 2.0mm derma roller). Use plenty of moisturizer or serum to prevent the skin from getting dry. After four to five weeks, repeat this process.
