I love to read bizarre behaviors of famous actors and actresses and the things they do to stay young. I read an article in a recent Grazia magazine that revealed some secret anti-aging tips from Hollywood celebrities.
Why do some celebrities look so good? Well, sources told Grazia magazine that some celebrities who wish to avoid plastic surgery are getting derma roller facials to keep their skin looking dewy and smooth. Some even use it to reduce old acne scars.
What is the Derma Roller? It's a bizarre device looks like a small rolling pin with tiny needles that prick the skin - which causes it to go into repair mode by increasing collagen production.
The loss of collagen starts to happen slowly. Some sources say you begin to lose about 1% collagen each year from the day you're born. So by the time you reach 50, you've lost half of your collagen!
Some research suggests that the derma roller causes slight injury to the skin which forces the increase of collagen production...similar to the way the body steps up collagen production to heal and close a cut or a wound.
There are basically two types of needle facials - one is a professional treatment that uses larger needles, penetrates more deeply, and is a bit painful.
These treatments are performed in spas and clinics where the clinician usually applies a numbing cream beforehand.
The other type of need facial is performed at home with a special home version roller that contain smaller needles which do not penetrate the skin as deeply. Therefore, there is no use for a numbing cream and it is usually not painful.
Other research suggests that the derma roller can also be used to reduce deep acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks.
While the article did not make it clear if Hollywood celebrities are getting professional treatments or the at home facials, but both sound promising for anyone who is looking for an alternative to face lift or other cosmetic surgeries.
