PRIOR TO FIRST ROLLING:
Week 1:
Day 1 - dry brushing, vit. C application (as explained in our instructions)
Day 2 - apply Tretinoin (A-Ret)
Day 3 - dry brushing, vit. C application
Day 4 - apply Tretinoin
Day 5 - apply nothing. Give your skin a break
Day 6 - dry brushing, vit. C application
Day 7 - apply Tretinoin
(If the skin gets too irritated, reduce the frequency of applications)
Tretinoin cannot be used when pregnant, planning a pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
Week 2:
-Do the same routine as in week 1 until the rolling day. Roll the stretch mark (the whole area) with a regular roller on the day it suits you the best. Roll them densely with a regular roller. Apply Infadolan immediately after. Continue applying Infadolan for at least five more days.
During the next four weeks, use the single needle or a dermastamp or a ONE LINER dermaroller (roll thoroughly and densely) on the individual stretch marks until they are all done. You can for example thoroughly single needle/roll every day five stretch marks (every day different ones) until they are all done.
Right after needling/one liner rolling, massage some Tretinoin (A-Ret) into the individual stretch marks. First do a small test patch to see how your skin reacts to it. Apply Infadolan on top of Tretinoin.
You should complete the single needling, stamping or one liner rolling of all your stretch marks within four weeks. Give your skin a one-week break and restart the whole process. This time, apply vit. C for 4 consecutive days, roll the whole area with a regular roller, and then during the next four weeks use the single needle or a dermastamp or a one liner dermaroller on each individual stretchmark.
The weeks in between dermarolling with a regular roller: keep the dermarolled area moisturized, apply vit. C and Tretinoin at least twice a week. Do not apply both the same day.
After about four full sessions, give your skin a one-month break. Then restart again.
Why Tretinoin:

https://http://owndoc.com/dermarolling/psychological-aspects-of-stretch-marks-and-the-beauty-cult/If you have just a few stretch marks, treat them all in one session (every 4-5 weeks). First, use a 1.5 mm dermastamp on each individual stretch mark: stamp each stretch mark very densely. After you will have stamped all of them, roll the entire area with your regular 1.5 mm dermaroller.
If you have too many stretch marks to treat them thoroughly and densely in a single session, you have to spread it out over multiple treatments. In this case you should do it the other way round. First, roll the entire area with your regular 1.5 mm dermaroller (every 4-5 weeks). When the redness is gone (in a few days) and you can see clearly the individual stretch marks, stamp each individual stretch mark densely. Stamp every day (or so) a few stretch marks, until they are all done.
The reason I introduced this "spread out" treatment is that I recommend combining stamping/needling and rolling. Needling and stamping is very laborious and it must be done thoroughly and densely. Nearly noone has the time to do all stretch marks in one session.
