Get Rid Stretch Marks

What are Stretch marks / Striae?
 
Get Rid Stretch Marks.Stretch Marks are caused when the body grows faster than the skin can keep up with literally stretching the skin. They are most commonly associated with pregnancy but can also be caused by weight or muscle gain. They are most common around the breasts, thighs and hips. They are not a medical problem as there are no major health issues surrounding stretch marks but can cause distress to many women due to their appearance. When they first form they appear a little like small reddish purple lines. At this stage they usually look indented and already have a different texture to the surrounding skin. Over time the discolouration tends to fade leaving just the appearance of a different even raised skin texture. In traditional Chinese medicine they are treated in a similar way to a scar and have been successfully treated using skin needling and Chinese herbs for thousands of years. The Skin Needling Roller is the most modern adaption of this principal of skin needling.
 
What Causes Stretch Marks / Striae?
 
Above we stated that stretch marks are caused by the skin stretching. To be more accurate the skin actually stretches and then tears. The tearing upsets the normal production of collagen in the area. Normal production of collagen is what keeps the skin so smooth and supple. It is by treating the lack of collagen in the area that the Skin Needling Roller is so effective at assisting stretch marks.
 
How can you treat them naturally at home?
 
The best way to treat any cosmetic problem is to allow your body's natural healing process to take place. In the case of stretch marks this involves using the body's own ability to stimulate collagen to correct the stretch marks. The Skin Needling Roller has been repeatedly shown to stimulate collagen production in the skin. This is best combined with the stretch mark and cellulite serum for best results. The Skin Needling Roller also stimulates transdermal absorption (absorption of products through the skin). By using time proven, safe and effective serum with the Skin Needling Roller you can dramatically enhance your results. These products can be purchased as a package from the website with an instructional booklet and you can start using them at home immediately.
 
A recent trial demonstrated Skin Needling to be effective at treating stretch marks without the risk of pigmentation issues.
