so when I went for Botox I talked to my dermatologist about this skin rolling machine thingy mabobber.
They are really expensive but apparently magical for getting rid of/preventing wrinkles. So ebay shopping researching expert that I am - I found one for a fraction of the cost. So how it works is - a bunch of tinny needles on a face sized rolling pin. Sounds like torture - well it kind of is, but not so bad when you consider the alternatives.
If you go to my botox entry you can see the before and after pics - well i started using the skin roller thing about two weeks later. I don't have a lot of wrinkles to begin with - besides those nasty 11's on my forhead. But my skin looks way better than it did before.
How it works is the tiny needles puncture your skin and collagen is produced in order to combat the damage- missing collagen is why we have those nasty wrinkles to begin with. The punctures also help those wonderful products you're using day and night actually to penetrate your skin. I've been using it 5 days a week now, and the results are pretty great. An ounce of prevention and all that jazz.
