To all you women out there who have pregnancy stretch marks, help is here!
Monday, November 9th, 2009Since the birth of my son I have spent most days being told how lovely he is and how much he looks like me and my husband. I love him to pieces and wouldn’t change my life for the world.
The one part that I do miss is my nice toned, stretch mark scar free tummy. At barely 24 years old I have always taken advantage of having blemish free skin but, after my pregnancy, I have horrid pregnancy stertch mark scars all over my tummy and around my hips, I even have a couple on my breasts where they expanded rapidly.
I was advised previous to the pregnancy to use liberal amounts of coco butter but I laughed aside this advice and used nothing! The stretch marks were visible throughout the pregnancy but after giving birth to sam, when my stomach went back to being firm (er) the pregnancy stretch marks became more noticable and there seemed to be quite a few more of them too.
I tried using a few creams and oils to eliminate them with very little change, then, when having a moan to a good friend of mine over dinner a lovely lady interrupted us, she’d heard us talking and hoped to advise that I purchase a derma roller.
So I took her number and did a search on Google for ‘derma roller’. I found derma-rollers.com and found that the derma roller helps to remove stretch marks by inducing the healing process, therefore increasing the levels of collagen and elastin in the skin.
So I thought What do I have to lose? and bought a derma roller to treat my pregnancy strechmarks. The derma roller isn’t too expensive and I wasn’t satisfied with the results there is a results based money back guarantee. I chose the 1mm and 1.5mm versions and got a free vitamin rich natural source cream!
I have now been using the derma roller to get rid of my stretch marks for about 4 months now and it has worked wonders on my stomach and thighs! Most of the stretch marks have totally gone and the more prominant stretch marks are now very faded, I think using the 1.5mm has benefited these most.
I have my confidence back!
