Hair today Gone Tommorrow

Balding is not something anyone would look forward to. Even though we are unable to stop aging we can help ourselves when it comes to hair loss.

Our hair does get thinner as we age and more for some than others but with today's medications and creams etc we may be able to slow this down.

I have looked into many hair loss remedies and have found some that are better than others in how they say the can slow down hair loss and some even say they will help your existing hair grow more and stronger. I do not know about that but have heard of some of the good some of them do.

Rachael Ray Raves About the Derma Roller

By Linda Robison

Recently on a Rachael Ray show called the Human Lab Segment, she had her audience members test out several anti-aging creams and devices and had them report back in a few weeks with their results. She also had a guest panel that included Dr. Loretta Ciraldo from the University of Miami to evaluate each product.

The one anti-aging device that received great reviews was the derma roller, a small device that contains 192 steel points and looks more like a torture device than a anti-aging device.

Research On The Derma Roller

The derma roller is one of the newest natural home remedy for removing wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks, black heads, and white heads. It also encourages collagen production, which is called Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT). Studies show that when the needles of the derma roller are rolled over the skin it causes the skin to launch into repair mode by increasing collagen production. This is something that everyone over 40 could use.

Studies performed by on 600 people with aging skin and acne scars found that there was a 60% reduction in scars and incredible 40% improvement in skin rejuvenation. Research suspect that the increased collagen production from the puncture wounds created by the derma roller is what help to fill in depressed scars, reduce and smooth out stretch marks and fill in lines and wrinkles.

How the Derma Roller Works: When you roll this device over the skin it makes small puncture wounds into the very upper layer of the skin. This cause the body to begin production of collagen fibers, elastin, and other skin cells which is what helps to fill in lines, wrinkles, remove stretch marks fill in deep pitted scars. That's why the derma roller is one of the best acne scar treatments.

In addition, the derma roller allows for optimum absorption of any anti-aging cream you may use afterwards. Each time you use the derma roller, the collagen building effects continue for weeks , helping to smooth out stretch marks, acne scars, and fine lines and wrinkles, its one of the best home remedies for wrinkles that's actually backed by science.

One of the best advantages of the derma roller is that its non-invasive and doesn't require healing or downtime like other skin rejuvenating techniques. And its also safe for men and women of color; this is also an issue when considering chemical or laser peels.
