Hello everyone,
I'm trying to set up a plan to treat my stretch marks. I'll start only with stretchmarks on my knees and plan to continue treatment for at least six months and document any changes. This is what they look like now.

Sorry about stupid links but it won't let me post pictures.
I've ordered 1.5 mm roller, Trireduction Basic, and 0.025, 0.05, and 0.1 Retin-A gel.
I am considering rolling daily (minimally, only to puncture the skin enough to allow creams to enter, not in order to stimulate collagen) then applying Trireduction basic with 0.025 Retin a.
I've read dermaroller thread as well as others and most certainly wish to avoid hyper pigmentation, chronic inflammation, burning,increased aging etc.
Would rolling the skin lightly with 1.5 mm cause enough inflammation that it would be best to leave it alone for 4 weeks making it unsuitable to use for cream penetration?
Should Retin A only be used on the surface and never applied immediately after rolling?
If so, how often should it even be applied ON the surface? I've read that in order to avoid chronic inflammation stressing the skin with Retin A should be spaced minimally 2 weeks. But what strength of Retin A did they mean?
Does this stand even for 0.025?
Thanks for your help,
atai |

Hi Atai,
How's it going with your 'experiment' ?
Did you get your questions answered and have you seen any results?
I'm thinking about purchasing a dermaroller for the stretchmarks on my stomach and am looking for some positive results before taking the plunge.
