It's true. No cream has yet been invented that will banish stretch marks. Some creams can help make stretch marks less noticeable, but nothing can make them disappear.
A common complaint among women who have had children, stretch marks can occur in various parts of the body and for other reasons. The one thing that is constant is that stretch marks are the result of the sudden expansion or stretching of the skin due to rapid growth or fluctuation in weight. Other examples include puberty, rapid weight loss or weight gain, and yes, pregnancy.
Try to think of the skin as an elastic band; when pulled with a lot or force or stretched for an extended period, it does not regain its original form even after being released. The same thing happens with the skin, while it is being drastically stretched by e.g. a growing baby in the belly, it acquires tears. The sudden release from stretching at childbirth only makes the tears more pronounced as they are now unsupported and probably sagging.
How do derma rollers come into play? In their distinct way, stretch marks are scars. They are leftovers from the trauma of the radical stretching that your skin underwent. The small wavy lines that look indented on your skin can be improved through micro needling. By rolling the somewhat odd or even intimidating looking device on your skin, you can help "fill in" some of the pitting.
Personal derma rollers are easy to use and offer solutions to a wide range of skin related problems. With minimal instructions, you can be rolling away on your stretch marks in the privacy of your own home. These derma rollers come in a variety of needle lengths as to target specific areas. Stretch marks for example, will require a longer set of needles than facial acne scars.
Using a derma roller on your skin is an exercise in "controlled skin damage." The micro needles scattered on the roller's surface pricks the dermis layer of the skin, triggering the body's auto-response to such injuries, that is, to produce collagen. This additional production of collagen is layered onto scarred skin.
Results are not instantaneous, but with continued use of derma rollers, supple and a more even textured skin will resurface.
