After trying the Smooth Shapes treatment for cellulite last month, I was itching for another beauty fix and curious to know if there was a treatment out there to combat stretch marks. The online beauty community Wahanda introduced me to Microneedle Therapy available at Destination Skin.
Now to say that I'm not a fan of needles is putting it likely, but I wasn't about to let nerves get the better of me. Herald as a breakthrough treatment, Microneedle Therapy is a natural rejuvenation method; non-surgical treatment that with regular use can be beneficial to various skin conditions such as aging (wrinkles, stretching), scarring (acne, surgical), and hyperpigmentation. Industry experts claim it to be more effective than ablative treatments like laser resurfacing, dermabrasion, and chemical peels.
Key to the therapy is the Microneedle roller, a type of medical tool with anything from 200 and more needles that as you might have guessed, are rolled and gently pressed onto the skin to create tiny pricks as it moves. Essentially, it injures the skin's surface, stimulating collagen and elastin production to thicken the skin. This process works to help smooth scaring.
It sounded incredibly interesting, if not a little too good to be true. But what particularly appealed to me was the fact that the recovery time for this treatment was super fast, more so that than dermabrasion and laser treatments that can take considerably more time than the 1-2 days Microneedle therapy requires. And if it can reduce the likes of stretch marks and scarring, my two pet beauty hates, I was going to give it a try.
