ORIGINAL POST

I am making this account for accountability...

I am making this account for accountability purposes and to help other women in my shoes. I have two children and am 8 months post Partum. My son left my stomach with sagging skin and very subtle stretchmarks. I don't care about the stretchmarks Bc they are so tiny but the sagging skin bothers me when I am naked. I am using the Vaughtner method from her website. I started 12/10. I am rolling 1.5mm every 3 weeks and .5 mm 3-5 times a week. Followed with vitamin C serum, and infadolan creme. I am also using a caffeinated lotion on the days I don't needle. I will keep posting!

Good luck with your treatments - I will be checking back for updates so please keep us posted on your progress. 

Does the needling hurt? 

December 12, 2015
I have had two natural births so I would say NO it doesn't hurt - ha ha ha. It feels like a sunburn. It's definitely uncomfortable but not unbearable. Similar to plucking the eyebrow pain but not as bad as plucking upper lip.

Finally!! I've been looking everywhere for someone with the same or similar problem as me:) I also had to babies and my first son stretched my belly out bad lol I was 96 pounds before him pretty much all my life. So to be so tiny and to have a 7lb 4 oz baby via csection, you already know what happened to me. Deflated balloon, meet me hahaha I like to bunch my belly up and make it look like a pair of shriveled wrinkled balls to make my Family laugh, But they know I hate the wrinkles and little excess skin(stretchy), I'm 24 years old but have been trying for years successfully almost removed my strtchmarks thanks to Shea butter and African black soap, but the middle wrinkled belly remains, thanks so much for this post it lifted me I too have a 1.5 roller but mine is beat up haha I need a new one so I'm researching things, im def. Trying the vitamin c serum, thanks again be blessed, i want to post pics up too! I take many to compare my roller sessions also about three times a week:)

I WOULD LIKE TO ADD HOW I AM PERFORMING THE TREATMENT

I WOULD LIKE TO ADD HOW I AM PERFORMING THE TREATMENT: that way if I have misunderstood the PDF someone can correct me.
1- I sanitize the roller before and after each treatment by soaking it in hydrogen peroxide for 6 minutes.
2- I clean my skin and wipe with alcohol
3- I do 7 strokes up and down and right and left with the roller pushing as far as I can stand it. No blood yet. With every stroke, I lift the roller off and reapply it so to target different areas each time.
4- I splash water and pat dry with a clean paper towel. Not a towel which harbors germs. Then I apply vitamin C serum followed by infadolan creme.

I think I see a change in 3 days!

I can't believe I am already seeing a change. I took this picture this morning on an empty stomach. The original BEFORE pic was taken after a meal. The flatter the stomach is the worse the wrinkles are... And yet it seems there is an improvement ! Both are taken with the same filter in a windowless room.

I'm following. I have stretch marks too. I was going to get a tummy tuck, but got lipo instead and I love it, except the stretch marks.
