Reddit User Reveals How She Get Rid Of Her Stretch Marks In Just Two Weeks

Stretch marks are indented streaks that often appear on the abdomen, breasts, hips, buttocks, and thighs. Over time they become less noticeable.

Stretch marks are particularly common in pregnant women, especially during the last trimester. Treatment can make stretch marks fade, but it won't completely remove them.

For many women, they’re the red, white or sometimes brown badges of bearing children.

Weight gain can bring on stretch marks, too — men and women alike can end up with unsightly reminders of heavier days

And bodybuilders sometimes get them on the upper chest and shoulders.

Whatever the cause, the main sticking point is they never really go away, and certainly not on their own.

A Reddit user announced that she’s found a way to banish the pesky problem once and for all.

The 22-year-old woman has revealed how a $129 derma roller kit that she bought off eBay transformed the appearance of stretch marks on her legs.

Posting a picture of her upper thighs to Reddit, user nct1234 wrote in the accompanying caption:

"Before&After – Only used derma roller on left thigh," reads the post.

In the picture, the skin on the woman's right inner thigh is lined with stretch marks — but her left thigh seems completely smooth and blemish-free.

For those unclear on what a derma roller is, it is a needle-covered roller used to poke tiny holes in your skin to provoke your collagen into acting.

This production of collagen, in turn, plumps out the skin, smoothing wrinkles, scars and stretch marks.

She used the Re Cosmetics Face & Body Derma Roller All in One Micro Needle Treatment, which is available for $129 on the company's website.

She said she bought one on eBay for $65 AUD.
