My Dermaroller Diary

Removing my stretch mark scars with the Scientia Dermaroller was so easy!

I’m SO excited! My Dermaroller has arrived and my progress diary begins today. I’ve been asked to track my first month’s progress by derma-rollers.com - the people behind the Scientia Derma Roller. I will be writing down each week how I’m getting on.

I am a mother of 2 and have had stretch marks on my stomach for nearly 20 years, since my first pregnancy. Anyone else with stretch marks will know exactly how they can make you feel self conscious, and I am hoping that this product will make a difference. Going swimming, sunbathing, or just wearing less clothes in the summer months can be a bit of a trauma. I’ve always tried to ignore it, because I didn’t realise I could fix it… I just put up with it. But through using the Scientia dermaroller for a few weeks, I hope to put things right!

Dermaroller Diary Day 1!

The package arrived this morning; so far so good. I’ve read the Dermaroller instructions, looked at the website again and I’ve promised myself to begin tonight after work. I must admit, the tiny needles on the roller don’t look very inviting, but a few comments I read on forums, etc, seemed to show that it isn’t so bad and gives more of a tickling sensation.

One of the recommendations they made was to take a before picture, so that I can see the difference to my stretch marks over time. I suppose, just like weightloss, it’s easy to miss gradual change because it’s right under your nose! I have lived with quite deep stretch marks for a long time, as you can you see from my first picture, so ANY change will be welcomed, however gradual!

My Stretch Mark Before Picture

As you can see, the stretch marks on my stomach are quite deep:

The good news is that having tried my dermaroller, it wasn’t painful like I feared. I wouldn’t want to really press hard without numbing cream, but I can use it without discomfort. The 1mm roller is fine, and the 1.5mm isn’t any different - although it looks a little more aggressive. The 1.5mm is better for deep stretch marks, but the 1mm is supposed to be more versatile.

After treatment with my dermaroller, my stomach and hips went a little bit red - just like after a hot bath, or mild sun burn. It wasn’t exactly sore to the touch, but it was a little more sensitive - but this faded after a couple of hours. Overall, a good first day… Let’s see how it works in the day’s to follow.

Dermaroller Diary - End of Week One

I have been quite amazed how my skin is feeling firmer and more even after such a few treatments! Looking at my before picture, I can even see that some of my deeper stretch marks are starting to close up. They are still there of course, but they don’t feel the same or look the same when I look at them more closely.

I have got the routine sorted, and it isn’t hard to fit my derma rolling into my daily regime. I use the dermaroller straight after having a bath, or if I haven’t bathed yet, I just use an antibacterial wipe to clean my skin first, before treatment. Then all I have to do is use the vitamin rich moisturising cream afterwards that I was sent with the dermaroller. The Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Aloe Vera and Evening Primrose Oil ingredients are all supposed to support the development of collagen in my skin and to support the healing process. I usually wait around ten minutes after treatment before I apply it and that seems to let my skin settle. I also use an antibacterial cream before to keep my skin clean.

Results at the End of Week Two

Wow! I’m amazed with the results so far. I’ve had to take more pictures of myself to see if I am imagining things. I was looking at myself quite closely in the mirror before my nightly dermaroller session halfway through this week. Things are definitely looking better already. Having compared the two photos, I can’t believe my eyes! it certainly looks like my stretch marks are improving. My skin feels firmer and some of the shallower marks have definitely gone! At this rate I won’t need to do a full month’s diary !

End of Week Three

This is amazing! My stretch mark scars are just getting better and better! I’ve started pressing the dermaroller a little more firmly now that I am used to the sensation. I must admit that I’ve been a bit naughty this week and missed out two sessions. I think that because I’ve seen such an improvement so quickly, I’ve become a bit complacent that it’s working. I’m going to make an effort to keep it going.

End of Week Four

I have been telling everyone I know about the success I have had with my dermaroller. I have told several of my friends and family members about this amazing little gadget! Some of the remaining scars are still visible from certain angles, but I am so thrilled with the level of success I’ve had. I now know that although my skin hasn’t entirely repaired, it certainly will if I continue with my treatment. I am going to send in my pictures and testimonial, but rest assured I will carry on the great work.

Overall, to conclude my dermaroller diary I want to wholeheartedly and sincerely recommend the Scientia Derma Roller to anyone who wants to deal with their stretch marks or scars. I have read forum posts that said stretch marks cannot be fixed without surgery, but they are absolutely WRONG! Don’t allow limiting beliefs to hold you back. Stretch mark removal IS possible - you just have to find the right product… and in this case, the Scientia Derma Roller IS the right product!

Dermaroller Testimonial Update - Latest “After” Photo!

Here is my latest update picture. I was absolutely right about continuing to use my roller. I read on the Derma Roller FAQ page that your skin renews itself every 40 days, so continuing to stimulate the healing process with my Scientia Derma Roller has made all the difference!

All I can say is thank you! My use of the dermaroller has worked wonders for my stretch marks but not only that, it’s boosted my confidence to get my bikini out! Caribbean and cocktails here we come!

One thing I neglected to mention in my 4 week diary was that I was also using the dermaroller on my frown lines and crows feet around my eyes, and the fine lines on my face. Foolishly, I wasn’t taking pictures of those, but they have filled out and when you run your finger across where they were you can feel that the skin has changed for the better. So I bought a 0.5mm dermaroller for an anti aging treatment which I use about once or twice per week. I find that this level of treatment best suits my lifestyle.

I have continued to use the Vitamin rich treatment cream, as it is a great moisturiser and it contains all the nutrients needed to support the use of my dermaroller.

Thank you so much! I will definitely be back when I need to buy my replacement dermaroller.

Scar Removal

To better understand scar removal, it is important to understand what scars are and how they are formed. Scars form as a direct result of injury to our skin, and in particular the vital Dermis layer . This is the middle layer of skin between the epidermis (the layer we see) and the subcutaneous (the layer we hope not to see). When damage to the skin occurs, your body produces new collagen fibres and skin tissue so that it quickly mends itself.

When the wound has finished healing, a scar is often formed. Your skin has healed to the degree that your body is sealed to the environment, but perhaps not to a cosmetic level - which is why scar removal procedures and treatments are so sought after.

QUESTION? What do scars, wrinkles, stretch marks and uneven skin have in common?

ANSWER: A lack of collagen! If your body would produce more collagen then you wouldn’t get them. Using a Scientia Derma Roller offers nature a helping hand by encouraging collagen production in the skin, which helps prevent or reverse their formation.

We can live with scarring; it doesn’t hurt and for the majority of the time, it doesn’t impact on our daily lives. But it can be unsightly; many people wish they didn’t have to live with it and want to know how to get rid of their scars and what scar removal options there are. Highly visible scars can also affect your self image and confidence, and when that happens, the removal of a scar becomes much more important.

Undoubtedly, the Scientia Derma Roller works for scar removal and can help you improve the appearance of your scars. Firstly however, let us explain what scars are so that you can understand how they are formed, which in turn will show how the Scientia Derma Roller would work for you.

Scar Formation

Scars are areas of the skin where the process of healing has created a layer of fibrous tissue which is of reduced quality to that which it has replaced. When damage occurs, the cut in the skin is repaired naturally. The most immediate form of repair is the clotting of blood around the wound. This is often followed by coagulation (which creates a scab) and then the Dermis layer begins the formation of collagen fibres which are the building blocks of skin.

The tissue of skin which has been created is not identical to that which it has replaced. The body’s prime concern is to heal and repair – it is not concerned with how it looks. The layer of skin which forms from the new layer of collagen is thinner, contains no new sweat glands or hair follicles and can often be discoloured.

Scars are formed and healed in the Dermis layer of skin; the layer which is responsible for the production of collagen. Most scars look depressed, like valleys in the skin. These most common of scars are referred to as Atrophic and are shown below.

Scar Tissue - Hypertrophic Scar

Occasionally, our body’s repair mechanisms result in scars which are irregular from normal scar tissue. Hypertrophic, and the far more serious Keloid scars, are the result of the over production of collagen, causing raised lumps on the skin. Although treatments do exist for these particular types of scar, the Scientia Derma Roller is not suitable for this particular type of scar removal.

Who is the Scientia Derma-Roller For?

The Scientia Derma Roller is ideal for those who wish to:

• Improve the appearance of Atrophic scars (not Hypertrophic
  or Keloid)
• Treat scars at home
• Remove scars inexpensively
• Achieve permanent scar removal results
• Avoid trauma to the epidermis layer of skin

Scar Removal - How Scar Treatment Works

As explained above, scars are the result of a reduced level of collagen in the Dermis layer of skin. The collagen fibres which were produced in repairing the wound were set off by the trauma occurring in this middle layer. The collagen formation ceased after the wound had healed but before a cosmetic level of repair was achieved.

What the Scientia Derma Roller does, is create a painless microscopic trauma to the same area of skin, promoting additional collagen growth - which gradually stimulates the skin’s return to a normal composition. The area may still be void of hair follicles and sweat glands, but the skin will be thicker, have less pronounced discolouration and will look considerably better.

What it is effectively doing is renewing or extending the healing process which happens naturally within the skin. The Scientia Derma Roller’s extension of this healing process means that the scar tissue repairs itself to a state which has a look and feel which matches the skin around it.

Unlike many other scar removal treatments, no cosmetically noticeable damage is caused to the epidermis and the treatment can be continually carried out without concern for additional cost of repeated and expensive clinical visits.

Buying a Derma-Roller for Scar Removal

Before ordering your Scientia Derma Roller, please consider what needle length is suitable for you. For deeper scars which are on fleshy parts of the body (thighs, stomach arms etc) a needle length of 1.5mm is suitable. For other scars, a needle length of 1mm would be better and for very delicate areas, 0.5mm is fine.

Visit our online ordering page to buy your Derma-Roller or feel free to keep browsing the site to see our guarantee video or how else the Scientia Derma Roller can help you. The Scientia Derma Roller can be used for acne scar treatment, stretch mark removal, cellulite removal and hair loss treatment. It is a very versatile cosmetic tool which goes beyond Scar Removal.

Skin Needling

Skin Needling or Micro-Needling is a form of Collagen Induction Therapy which is intended to smooth wrinkles, improve depressed acne scarring as well as reduce the appearance of stretch marks. It is one the newest, easiest and most effective skin treatments available and is a process which can be carried out clinically or in the home. As the process gains awareness it is important to understand, what skin needling is, how it works and whether it is a suitable treatment for you.

QUESTION? What do scars, wrinkles, stretch marks and uneven skin have in common?

ANSWER: A lack of collagen! If your body would produce more collagen then you wouldn’t get them. Using a Scientia Derma Roller offers nature a helping hand by encouraging collagen production in the skin, which helps prevent or reverse their formation.

What is Micro-Needling?

Micro-needling is process carried out with a roller that is covered with numerous tiny needles. These needles penetrate the upper layers of skin to a depth of up to 2mm (depending on the needle length used). This process has two major benefits. It effectively stimulates collagen formation at the same time as providing a clear channel for topical gels and creams to be absorbed more effectively through the top layer (epidermis) of skin. Micro-Needling creates a very minor (almost microscopic) trauma which lasts for a short period of time and does not result in bruising or swelling or bleeding in the treated area in the way that chemical peels, laser therapy or microdermabrasion do.

How does Collagen Induction Therapy work

The microscopic punctures (which are often just the opening of the pores of your skin) stimulate collagen production in the dermis layer as it breaks some of the blood vessels directly below the surface of the skin. As the blood clots, it creates the right environment for collagen and elastin formation. It is these key ingredients which help the skin to appear rejuvenated.

Although this sounds drastic, the process happens on a microscopic level and the outward appearance of any trauma is negligible. In fact, when done in the home with rollers of shorter needle lengths, you only get a reddening of the skin which lasts for a few hours. Clinical use of skin needling involves the use of numbing agents on the skin, so that the treatment can be carried vigorously with minimal discomfort. The Scientia Derma Roller is intended for use at home and should be used far more gently over a period of time. In this way, it becomes part of your daily routine, produces the same great results but costs a fraction of the price of expensive clinical visits. Visit our online ordering page to place an order.

Alternatives to Skin Needling

There are several alternatives to Micro-Needling, most of which require visits to clinical beauticians or other specialists. These include laser therapy, Chemical Peels and Micro-Dermabrasion. Results from these processes do differ from one person to the next as everyone’s body reacts differently to each treatment. However, using a Scientia Dermaroller is certainly far less invasive, has a far lesser risk of complications and is generally much cheaper. (Particularly when considering treatment at home).

Micro-Needling – Who is it for?

Micro-needling is a great choice for people who haven’t had success with any other type of treatment, for those who would prefer tackling their skin issues in the privacy of the home, or those who wish to achieve success without the hugely inflated cost of clinical visits.

Also bear in mind that the use of skin creams or oil products are greatly boosted by using a Scientia Derma Roller as the absorption rate of the skin is raised considerably through the channels which are created by skin needling through the epidermis.

Aloe Vera Wrinkle Cream

Aloe Vera is a vital ingredient in any anti wrinkle cream, stretch mark cream or anti aging cream. Aloe Vera oil has well recognized healing and restorative properties, and is usually contained in top of the range lotions, creams and gel products. It is widely used to treat a huge range of skin conditions burns and even frostbite. Aloe Vera is also a fantastic moisturiser that keeps the skin supple and has the benefit of bringing oxygen to the skin cells – this increases both the synthesis and strength of skin tissue.

Aloe Vera Plant

Although Aloe Vera is by far the best known, there are in fact over 300 types of aloe. However, only a few are used for medicinal purposes. Aloe perryi (found in north-eastern Africa) and aloe ferox (found in South Africa) are a couple of the more popular varieties. But, as the most popular, the industry size for Aloe Vera is estimated to be about $125 million dollars. The volume of the industry for finished products (which include wrinkle creams, anti aging creams and scar removal creams) using Aloe Vera is estimated to be around $110 billion dollars.

Aloe Vera Uses

Humans have been known to use aloe even as far back as ancient Egypt. Cleopatra used aloe vera as part of her beauty regime and the Egyptians also used it as one of the ingredients in the production of embalming fluid. Fast forward a thousand years and the Europeans began using it as an important ingredient in their herbal based medicines. By the 16th Century, aloe vera had arrived in the West Indies: It is still grown and harvested there today.

Anti Aging Skin Cream

One of the main reasons Aloe Vera has become so popular in anti aging skin care creams among consumers is that it possesses incredible moisturising properties. Studies have shown that Aloe Vera improves the skin’s ability to hydrate itself, aids in the removal of dead skin cells and has an effective penetrating ability that helps transport healthy substances through the skin.

Dr. Ivan E. Danhof is considered the leading authority on the Aloe Vera plant. His studies have suggested that the gel found within the plant increase production of human fibroblast cells six to eight times faster than normal cell reproduction.

Fibroblast cells are found in the dermis layer (middle) of the skin and are responsible for fabricating collagen which is the skin’s support protein. The Aging process as well as sun exposure, means that fibroblasts slow their collagen production. As aging continues, the quality of collagen is lessened and wrinkling becomes deeper. Studies have found that not only does aloe improve fibroblast cell integrity, it also speeds up the process of collagen formation.

Cellulite Treatment

Cellulite - it may be a sensitive issue, but cellulite treatment (or cellulite reduction) is a key concern for many people, particularly for us women. For those who don’t know, cellulite is a condition where the skin in the legs, abdomen, and pelvic region becomes dimpled. This is commonly referred to as “orange peel syndrome”.

Cellulite occurs at any age after puberty, and though women are affected to a far greater degree, it does affect both sexes. Furthermore and contrary to popular belief, cellulite has nothing to do with being overweight. However, the diet factors that contribute to cellulite do also contribute to becoming overweight. With cellulite being the kind of condition that can affect confidence and body image, cellulite treatment is a real priority for many women.

Cellulite

“Cellulite” is not a medical term, rather the commonly used name for collections of fat that push against the connective tissue beneath a person’s skin, which causes the surface of the skin to dimple, pucker and look lumpy. Medical authorities agree that cellulite is simply ordinary fatty tissue.

Strands of fibrous tissue connect the skin to deeper tissue layers and also separate compartments that contain fat cells. When fat cells increase in size, these compartments bulge and produce a waffled appearance of the skin.

It is widely accepted that the difference between male and female fat cells is also the reason behind why cellulite is more prominent in Women. In simple terms, a woman’s connective tissues are very inflexible, so as females gain weight their fat cells expand, and tend to bulge up towards the surface of the skin.

Poor diet, bad circulation, sluggish digestion, intake of toxins and fluid retention can all also act as a barrier to those who are trying to get rid of cellulite.

Remove Cellulite

Treatments like liposuction (surgery to remove fat) and mesotherapy (injection of drugs into cellulite) are either expensive or may produce only temporary improvement. Many doctors even warn that liposuction is not an effective treatment for cellulite because liposuction is designed to remove deep fat instead of cellulite, which is close to the skin.

Scientia’s new anti cellulite therapy comes in the form of the very successful Scientia Derma Roller. Cellulite reduction is gradual, achieved in the privacy of home. It costs considerably less than alternative treatments and is a method of cellulite removal which works in harmony with your body, as opposed to taking away from it.

Cellulite Cream

Using the Scientia Derma Roller can also boost the effectiveness of anti cellulite creams. It allows the cream to penetrate the upper layer of skin, increasing the effectiveness. For an example, absorption of vitamin C cream has been shown to increase by up to 40 times after using a derma roller!

It is the combination of modern science and manufacturing in conjunction with ancient Oriental acupuncture techniques which gives the Scientia Derma Roller the unique way in which to tackle the reduction of cellulite.
