Hi!
I've got stretch marks and have been obsessed about getting rid of them lately, I hate them so badly! While I understand that there is no current treatment that can guarantee complete elimination of stretch marks, I would still love to improve their appearance, especially make the white ones blend in more with my skin tone.
After days of researching on the internet, I came to a conclusion that the most effective (yet, not too pricy) remedy would be derma rolling, preferably combined with single needling. I have so far done only 1 roll, and am still waiting for my needles to arrive, but I would love to hear about some encouraging experiences from others :) Has anyone here tried rolling their stretch marks? Any success?

    ...I do recall one topic that was posted a long time ago with a lady who was doing this method and even posted before/during pics. The difference was noticeable. You can try using the Search option to find the thread.

    So, you are referring to sticking yourself with needles?

    OdesAngel, yeah, it is definitely not a tickle, but totally bearable. So far I feel that for my 1,5mm roller I don't need numbing cream yet. Maybe later, when I use more pressure.

    Prettyfitchic,
    definitely, but it can take months from the 1st rolling session to see first visible results. Collagen production is a slow process :(

    Here are the results some woman has achieved after 1,5 year of rolling and needling. Looks very encouraging!

    Dakotababy, yeah, it is basically sticking needles into skin.

    Unless you're a nurse or trained to use needles, this sounds like a terrible idea that could result in a trip to the ER. Sticking yourself with needles........:huh:

    Isn't there a lawsuit against the manufacturers of that by people who say it is a scam?
