So I got pregnant at 19 and had a baby 6 months ago. Although I love my son, I hate my stretchmarks.... I don't have much money right now so I'm trying some home treatments to try and make them less noticeable. I bought a dermaroller 2.00mm off amazon and a few serums and creams. I have my fingers crossed. I will be doing it once every month in conjunction to body brushing and bio oil. Wish me luck!

What are you using to remove those beautiful imperfections
November 11, 2015
Haha, that's one way of looking at them. I will take a picture of all the products I'm using for you.

I have them too.. on my breast, stomach and hips. I have tried everything to get rid of them. I even tried a derma roller needle size 1.5... Did not work for me. Made my skins red and sore. I bought another one size 1.0 going to c what happens. I have all theses because of my weight gain.

Omg, I know how you feel! After i had my son I got them everywhere.. on my butt, breast, stomach, inner thighs, etc. However, I'm only doing it on my stomach and hips because those are the ones that bother me the most. I think with dermarolling you have to be patient and consistent with it. So I'm going to do it for a year and see what happens.

3rd times a charm

So I was recently browsing eBay and found they sell dermapens. It's probably a knock off anyway but I'm so desperate to get rid of my stretchmarks and ordered one. I first used It few days ago. The following day after I used it my skin was so itchy... Like more than it itches after I dermaroll. So I'm assuming it works. My stretchmarks also seem to look more "plump" instead of sunken in. *Fingers crossed*

How did the Derma pen from eBay work? And if you can which one did you order? I am considering buying one. I have not had a child, but I did put on 40lbs due to moving and nursing school stress. And now I have stretch marks on my hips and I HATE it.

Products I'm Using

Here are a few pictures of products I'm using. Recently bought this bioeffect egf serum because I saw it in a bubzbeauty video about how it helped her stomach. So I had to try and seeif it could help mine. I use it daily at night. Seems to be helping my marks fade a little faster.

Do you have any more updates as to how well your treatments are working?
November 21, 2015
Hi tdadancer1! I will be updating in a week when I use my dermapen again, because I wait 2-3 weeks between sessions to let my skin heal.

If you give it time derma roller will make some improvement, I use a layer of hyaloronic acid then roll or derma pen. Less friction after the treatment is good, not sure if you need that body brush. Good luck!

Hi vivibunnz! Thank you for your suggestion. What brand of hyaluronic acid do you use before you roll?

I use pure hyaloronic acid before I roll, and hydra-c serum 20% after, and most every night. I purchased both from Amazon and they've work just fine.

Can't wait to hear about the Derma pen. I started using Derma roller and Strivectin about fice days ago. No changes yet but it's still early. I wanted to try Derma pen but it was pretty expensive
November 22, 2015
Yeah I ordered the one on ebay for like $150? It included 50 needle cartridges so I felt that would last me a long time. I will keep updating this review next week when I do it again. Good luck to you (: we're on this journey together.
November 22, 2015
I've heard good things about the Derma pen. It's like 300 per treatment in a med spa.

My stretchmarks have faded considerably since the last photo. I really need to update this review. Overall, dermarolling has definitely improved it's appearance. I will try and update this week.
May 16, 2016
Hey due the recite change or the color only? Cause the color was bound to impove regardless as time passes and blood vessels in the skin shrink ....am also getting dermapen treatmeants so please let me know :)

Did the texture*
July 11, 2016
Out of all the products you have used how did the bioeffect egf serum work? I am considering it, but because it's spendy would love your thoughts on if it's really worth it? If so what results did you notice when you started using it? Thank you
July 11, 2016
I ordered the derma roller but haven't really seen much of a difference. I'm I suppose to roll until I bleed? Lol cause if the the case then maybe I rolling wrong?
