hello Everybody,
I'm new person on this forum and english is not my first language so please forgive me any mistakes.
I'd like to start rolling my stretch marks-some new some old on my stomach and arms inside.
I'm ready to to shopping in shop on this website but I don't know what to buy-I know I want dermaroller and single needling.
Please tell me what creams and other stuff I need and how often to used and when.
Thank you

1.5mm (no less) roller, vitamin C, single needles and Infadolan.
Just started out myself, good luck!! :)
-
thank you purple butterfly but how often do it?
-
Rolling, I'd say once every 5-6 weeks (Got to give your skin time to heal etc.)
Single needles, prick each mark once a month ~ You can do say arms one week and wherever else another week.
Vit C and Infadolan ~ I personally use twice a week. (Don't apply both on the same day though, and don't apply vit C after rolling, it'll probably hurt quite a bit.)
-
thank you for respond. but after every rolling straigh away should I use infadolan and next day vit c? and how many times should i apply vit c and infadolan daily?
is it safe use numb cream for every rolling?
thanks

The most effective for stretch marks is the combination of a regular 1.5 mm dermaroller + the single needles + Tretinoin cream:

Do not use the single needles on your inner arms. From our experience, the skin is too thin there and you'll get bruises. Use only the roller there.

Oh thanks for saying Sarah, that was one place I was going to single needle.
-
can I use numb cream for every rolling? and can it be any numb cream? thanks
-
I think so, just wash it off before you roll (it's an anesthetic I think...)

You can use any numbing cream that is sold OTC (do not use a liquid numbing agent because it doesn't get absorbed by intact skin, buy a cream) but do not use it on extensive areas during one session. For example, do not apply it all over you stomach + all over your butt in one session. You can use it again the day after. If you have very extensive areas to roll and you want to use a numbing cream on all of them, spread it out to several days. Wipe the numbing cream off before you roll.
There is usually no need for a numbing cream when you roll for stretch marks. It is painful but it is bearable. You get used to it.
I can roll anywhere on my body or face without a numbing cream with the exception of the above the lip area and I am not particularly tough person when it comes to pain.
