A lot of women and even men in Nigeria have unsightly stretch marks on different areas of their body. Stretch marks are actually scars that can be caused by sudden weight gain, pregnancy, long term use of harsh creams that contain steroids, puberty and for men, body building.

Although stretch marks have no negative effect on your health, it is a cosmetic nuisance. Most women find it embarrassing to take off their clothes in front of other women if the have stretch marks, making them desperate to apply whatever means necessary to clear the stretch marks.

People in the cosmetic industry have since identified this need, and have taken advantage of this situation to sell ineffective products to vulnerable customers, who spend hundreds of thousands on creams that claim to work.

Let me tell you something that would shock you. No amount of cream, lotion, shea butter, cocoa butter etc would clean off stretch marks. That stretch mark you see on your skin actually started from the 2nd layer of the skin, and whatever product you use, just sits on the top layer. On the max, the product would lighten the colour of the stretch mark (which is something though).

One thing people have tried for their stretch marks that work besides laser surgery (note that laser surgery does not work on stretch marks for dark skinned women) is the Derma Roller. Now why does the derma roller work so effectively? Anyone who has stretch marks, has low collagen level. The body produces collagen naturally for skin cell renewal, this collagen is what helps your wounds to heal neatly without leaving scars. Now the area where you have your stretch marks is dead, and has no collagen, so the work of the derma roller is to prick the skin and make it think there's fresh injury in that area. As soon as the skin gets that sensation, it quickly sends message to the brain that collagen is needed in the area for healing. So since there is actually no injury, the collagen would be working on the stretch marks, healing and smoothening it out.

All that needs to be done with the derma rolling is to apply good healing products, especially vitamin A and C, which hastens the healing process and prepares you for another round of derma rolling.

So, if you are among those who have been spending countless amount of money on stretch mark creams, get a derma roller and let your mind be at peace.
