Home Dermarolling Is THE Hot New Thing - Get Yer Angelina Jolie On


Great For:
• Large Pore Reduction
• Dark Spot Reduction
• Treating Wrinkles
• Repairing Damaged Tissue
• Removing Surgical Scars 
• Removal of Stretch Marks

Until recently this was an expensive dermatologist treatment, but now if you have the guts, you can do it at home fairly cheaply!

If you have less than perfect skin including unsightly acne scars, loss of plumpness, uneven pigmentation, and crepeyness then you probably know how much having less than perfect skin can get you down.  Dermaroller, a treatment you may or may not have heard of – with celebrity fans such as Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt- can effectively stimulate the skin into producing its own collagen, helping with scarring, wrinkling, and general loss of tone.
The fine micro needles of the Dermaroller device penetrate the epidermis to stimulate collagen and cell renewal at a sub-dermal level, prompting the skin to, literally, heal itself.  Old acne scars can receive a much needed jump start and crepey skin, especially the fine, thin skin that covers the décolleté and around the eyes, will start to improve in tone after just a few Dermaroller treatments.

You don’t need to worry about the risk of infection either because salons use a hygienically sealed Dermaroller device for each new client, so the treatment is perfectly safe.  Do be prepared for your face to go numb beforehand though, as a topical anaesthetic cream is applied to the treated area to ensure the procedure is as painless as possible. 
Although tiny needles are attached to the device – which looks a bit like a mini medieval instrument of torture – there is no pain, partly due to the evenly distributed weight of the needles, their small size, and also because of the topical numbing cream.
A treatment which makes thousands of microscopic holes in your face may not sound like the smartest idea for your skin; but that’s precisely how the treatment works, prompting the skin into producing new collagen and elastin.

The whole treatment should take approximately one hour in total, since the anaesthetic will have to be applied for about thirty minutes before the treatment can commence.  Regular treatments are best if you’re seeking an improvement on old acne scars, but even after one treatment you should see your entire skin tone looking brighter, plumper, and generally more even. 
Those keeping a keen eye on the purse strings will find a Dermaroller treatment is fairly cost effective, especially considering the results –with a course of several sessions working out even cheaper – making it an affordable treatment that’s easy for anyone who cares about their skin to try out.
If you’ve got stubborn scarring that just won’t shift and is ruining your confidence, then it really might be worth giving a few sessions of Dermaroller treatments a try, to see if the treatment can flatten out the pockmarks and scars that are, unfortunately the unsightly legacy of acne.
Equally, if anti-ageing is more your concern, then most people will certainly see an improvement after two to three sessions of the treatment, with a reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, and deeper expression lines like frown lines and nose to mouth grooves, looking more plumped up and revitalised as well.
And if you have stretch marks you loathe the sight of, then regular Dermaroller treatmentcan help to improve those too, it doesn’t just have to be limited for use on your face, and can be used all over your body to smooth out uneven pigmentation, marks, slackness, and tone.

Revitagen-FX Stretch Mark and Skin Repair Formula


  • Diminish the appearance of stretch marks
  • Firm and tone the skin
  • Reduce discoloration of the skin
  • Moisturizes and hydrates
This really does work, but you MUST follow the instructions and use it daily. My stretch marks are smoothing out and the skin ripples are tightening which I attribute to an increase in collagen production where I've applied it. The reddish/purplish ones are lightening to a pale pink and I hope to see these results continue. I recently got a dermaroller and I plan to use it on those areas, I imagine that will really speed things along. Not to complain, I actually expected it to take much longer to get visible and tangible results, both of which I got in a few weeks. It takes very little product, so it will last a good amount of time.

InstaNaturals Scar Gel

#review #ScarGel


I've loved everything I've tried by this company, but this was of particularly special use to me. I had MAJOR foot surgery back in November, that resulted in a foot that looks like Frankenstein's monster. I would show before and after pictures, but TRUST me, I don't think you want to see- it's pretty scary. This natural blend of epidermal growth factors has not only made the scarring become soft and smooth, but the itching has FINALLY STOPPED! The really large scar is still pretty red, but the smaller scars are fading in color. They're also starting to flatten out and not look like creepy red worms on my foot! TMI? Well, it's all to let you understand how much it means to me that stuff works. It's also a good size and doesn't require a lot, so it'll last you a good long time. It's in an airsealed pump, so no worries about bacteria and contaminants is a bonus.

OUCH!




So I was talking with someone on my YouTube page about a scar over my lip and she stated that there must be a story there, so I'm posting this to show her what I was talking about.

Warning! Not for the squeamish!











Please note: I don't actually like the Backstreet Boys, my husband bought that at Thrift Town as a joke. No offense meant if they're your fave band. 

The place over my lip where the skin is abraded off healed oddly so that area over my lip is twice as white as the rest of my skin. I've got scars on the bridge of my nose, on my philtrum, my eye socket (where they dug out glass from my eyeglasses) and on my chin. I also have two scars a few inches long on my calf from where bike spokes broke off and embedded in my leg. When I took my first shower, the tub filled up with blood washing out of my hair like something out of Psycho. Oh, and I dislocated my shoulder and had to wear it in a sling for a week while my hubby had to bathe me. Fun times.

Ladies, let this be a lesson to you- zip your purse up BEFORE you put it in your bike basket!


So me and The Hubband decided to ride our bikes over to a friend's house who lived about 4 blocks away. Seriously. 4 lousy blocks. I had my purse in my bike basket, but because my bike is vintage, it's a bit of a bumpy ride and I realized things were bouncing out of my purse. Well of course the smart thing to do would be to zip it up. The not so smart thing to do would be to attempt that while flying at a pretty decent clip down the street. I hit a curb and went flying over my handlebars, face first. Hubband is pretty sure I actually did a flip in the air, but that could just be hysteria induced hallucinations. I finally came to a stop with my trusty face's assistance. Face, meet concrete retaining wall. Wall, meet face. There was actually a big pool of blood stain on the sidewalk there for a few years.

I actually look much better in this picture than I did a day or so later when I actually started to bruise and swell up. Yeah- it actually looked WORSE.

The front wheel of my bike looked like this

Hubband straightened it out a bit then hung it from our kitchen ceiling to use as a thing to hang pots and pans off of (he's a glass half full kinda guy, my fella.)

So there you have it, Nilla! My squished face story.


You should have seen me BEFORE the shower.

I'm KIDDING! That was at a Halloween party.
