ugly stretch mark pics - advice please
« on: September 13, 2012, 01:43:51 PM »
Hi Sarah. I am in desperate need of advice...I have stretch marks pretty much everywhere, stomach, sides, back, hips, arms and boobs..I have posted 2 pics after dermarolling. I did my first roll 6 weeks ago and my 2nd roll 2nd sept. I used a 1.5mm roller, cleansed skin with warm water straight after and applied some rosehip oil. I haven't seen any difference. My skin is still discoloured as you can see in the pics, is this permanent, it looks so patchy. I am Indian so have an Asian skin tone. I wanted to single needle but none in stock so I have ordered a 1.5mm single line roller and infadolan. Please please could you advise me of some sort of routine? Do you think any of this will even make a difference or should I consider laser or a professional dermaroller treatment at a clinic?
Please reply, I just want to cry everytime I look at my body, I don't see see any hope at all of improving my skin.

We made a new design of our single needles; unfortunately they will take a long time to be produced. The needle itself will be the same (strong but very thin with long taper) but the handle is going to be thicker and easier to use.

Our Tretinoin cream can also be helpful for stretch marks. You can read here why:

Stretch marks will only improve, not disappear. Please read:

No, do not seek a professional dermarolling treatment. You can do exactly the same at home and much cheaper.

Thank you so much for the reply Sarah. I will e mail you my details. Do you think the one liner roller I have received from yourselves will be beneficial in any way? I was planning to roll every 5 weeks and then use the one liner on each stretch Mark in between this period. Am I ok to use the one liner whilst my skin is still a little darker in places from the roll?

The one liner roller is certainly beneficial. You can either use it on the areas that you cannot reach with the single needles or you may use it
instead of the single needle, if you prefer.

Yes, you can use the one liner and especially the single needle while the skin is still darker from the regular rolling.
